This T-connector wiring harness uses your factory tow package to add a 7-way socket in your truck bed while also retaining the use of the 7-way at your vehicle's bumper. The harness plugs into the back of your 7-way at the bumper and also into your factory wiring. And it provides 10 feet of cord to run the second 7-way connector to your truck bed. Installing a second 7-way connector in your truck bed makes it easy to connect the 7-way plug from your fifth-wheel or gooseneck trailer.

Installed on my 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 in ten minutes. Works excellent! No more draping my wiring harness over my tailgate!



by:
2009 Dodge RAM 2500

Exactly what I needed. The Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel 90-Degree Harness is truly plug 'n play. Once you decide on the truck bed location for the new 7-pole plug and drill the hole the rest is simply snap together and you're done. The new harness fit perfectly with the factory 7-pin connector and had plenty of length to allow for the new plug to be mounted conveniently in the truck bed wall. No more cable hanging out over the tailgate.

I have used the Hopkins Endurance 90-degree harness monthly over past year since installation. I have also used the factory bumper 7-pole plug as my towing needs required. Both connectors work every time indicating a solid fit and good contact between the factory 7-pin connector and the added Hopkins Endurance connector. Very pleased with both ease of installation and performance.



by:

Works well. Defiantly better than installing a gooseneck under the bed hitch. You can swap the plate over to a fifth wheel plate with ease. 2 birds one stone. Defiantly recommend

This harness was a breeze to install. Simple unplug and plug back together, cannot be any easier. Harness was plenty long to locate the plugin anywhere you would choose.

After using this plug adapter for a year I have been very satisfied. It was very easy to install, wiring plug was an exact fit. I use it for my fifth wheel travel trailer. I have not had any problems. Great product, thanks.



by:
2006 Dodge Ram Pickup

Finally got the right part, my bad the first time, and the Hopkins wiring harness was in my 2006 Dodge Ram truck in less than 30 minutes. Most of your time will be spent drilling the hole in the side of the bed. I used a 2" hole saw vice the 2 & 1/8th (already had the 2" and didn't want to run out and buy another hole saw) and had no problems getting the harness through the hole. Hooked up the trailer and everything worked perfectly. There's plenty of harness, maybe too much, for any application in the truck bed. Great product!



by:
2009 Dodge Ram Pickup

Wow what a fantastic experience! It first started when I called to verify I was buying the right 5th wheel wiring kit for my 2009 Dodge Ram 2500. Nicky K was the salesperson that helped me out, she took the time to verify my order and she placed the order for me at that point, I chose the two day delivery option and it arrived on time as she promised.
The endurance professional grade 5th wheel wiring kit part # 42137 was so easy that it took me only 45 minutes to install from start to finish, and most of that time was Running the wire from the bed location to the back of the truck where the factory 7 pin receiver is located. this kit is truly plug and play!! If I could do this in this amount of time and not have any problems then anyone can do it.
I would definitely recommend this company and this product to all my family and friends.



by:
Dodge

The wiring harness for my gooseneck 7 pole hitch on my Dodge is as advertised. The only problem is I looked under my truck it is not wired with a stock connector. I will have to cut and splice it anyway. Not a problem with the product but with my wiring.



by:

Definitely plug and play. No installation or use problems at all! The simple way to add 5th wheel wiring capability!

  • Compatibility of Curt 5TH Wheel Rails With RBW Hitch On a 2002 Dodge Ram 3500
    Yes, the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails # C16200 are the correct rails for your 2002 Dodge Ram 3500. These rails are the industry standard rails that will fit your RBW 5th wheel hitch that is designed to fit the industry standard rails. I do recommend installing a Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness # HM42137 to attach to your factory trailer wiring so that you can plug in your trailer wiring inside the bed of your Ram.

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch, Install Kit and In-Bed Wiring Recommendation for 2009 Ram Quad Cab 2500
    I'd recommend the Curt Q20, part # C16130. The hitch features dual jaws to get a tight and secure closure on the king pin which can reduce or eliminate chucking. The hitch also features a 360-degree pivoting head for a smoother ride I'd also recommend the Custom Install Kit, part # RP50140-58. To install a 7-way in your truck bed, you can use the Hopkins 7-way w/ wiring harness, part # HM42137.

  • Recommendation for a Gooseneck Hitch on a 2000 Dodge Ram 3500 Dually Pickup
    I have a B and W Gooseneck Hitch that will work for your 2000 Dodge Ram 3500 Dually with a 6 foot bed. Part number # BWGNRK1394 is custom fit for your truck. I like this under the bed option because it allows for full use of your bed even when you're not pulling your trailer. I would also recommend a 90-Degree Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Plug # HM42137 for a hassle-free hookup with your trailer.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch Base Rails for a 2008 Dodge Ram Pickup
    The base rail kit that I recommend for your 2008 Dodge Ram Pickup with the Quad Cab is the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit # RP50140-58. This kit uses brackets that are designed to fit to existing holes in your Ram's frame so you will only have to drill through your bed for the installation. These base rails are compatible with Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Reese, Valley, and Husky 5th wheel hitches. They are not compatible with the Reese Elite Series (Signature...

  • Can I Transfer 5th Wheel Hitch Base Rails from a 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 to a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500
    Your 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 base rails can transfer to your 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 (because they are in the same generation). You will need to get new custom fit wiring # HM42137 (the 1999 custom fit wiring is # C56001) & replacement hardware kit for Draw-Tite and Reese 5th wheel hitches # 58164. I included a couple installation videos and a helpful article for you too.

    Yes, the Curt Semi-Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16303-200 that fits your 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 is compatible with your RBW 15K 5th wheel hitch. If you don't already have a 7-Way installed in the bed of your pickup then I also recommend installing the Hopkins # HM42137 to help make connecting and disconnecting the wiring on your 5th wheel much easier.

  • Under-Bed Rail Kit to Install Reese 24K Signature Series Hitch on 2003 Dodge Ram 3500
    It sounds like you have either a Reese Elite Series or Signature Series 5th Wheel hitch. If this is the case, the Reese # RP30074 Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit would be the correct kit for your truck. If you do not already have a 7-way trailer connector installed in the bed of your truck, you can install one using part # HM42137. I have linked you to some installation videos that you might find helpful.

  • Gooseneck Hitch Compatible with Firestone Ride Rite Suspension for 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 4X4 Dually
    According to Firestone, the Ride Rite Air Spring Kits compatible with your truck would indeed prevent you from installing a fifth wheel or gooseneck hitch. The air spring assemblies install on the outboard side of the side of the truck frame, as would the frame mounting brackets for a gooseneck or fifth wheel hitch. Your best bet would be to replace your existing air bags with a solution that mounts to the bottom of the frame members, replacing the factory bump stop like the Timbren #...

  • Should the 16K or 18K B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch be Used for a 16,000 lb GVWR Trailer
    You are correct. Even though the 16K B&W Patriot # BWRVK3200 is a great option, if the GVWR of your 5th wheel Montana 3120RL is 16,385 you do want to give yourself a safety margin. We typically recommend having at least 1,000 lbs - 2,000 lbs of "cushion" between the GVWR rating of your trailer the the hitch so the 18K Patriot # BWRVK3255 is the perfect solution. It looks like you put a 2003 Dodge Ram Pickup in as your vehicle. If your Dodge Ram doesn't already have a 7-Way connector in...

    Can you tell me who manufactured the kit you have? Without that information, it's pretty hard to say. Assuming you used the Reese Universal Fifth Wheel Hitch Install Kit, part # RP30035 to install the hitch in your 1989 GMC, you could reuse your existing bed rails and frame brackets. To install the bracket/rail kit in your 2004 Ram, you'd need another additional bracket, part # RP58023.

Looking through the compatible base rails we offer for your 2007 Dodge Ram Pickup, the Husky Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit # HT31413-686 is the only one I could find that uses a 4 bolt system and may fit the drilled holes on your truck bed.
