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:

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

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.

No problems with product. Works like a charm & is easier to plug in and out than my older unit.

Worth every penny to keep everything in the bed when hooking to a fifth wheel or gooseneck. Very simple install with just needing a holesaw.

The T-Wiring Harness that is sold bye etrailer.com is the best one on the market, I wish I had taken pics or Video of my install! I have had NO Problems with this product! I think the hardest part was deciding where to mount the 7 pin plug in the bed of my truck, very very clean application and looks like factory install I am very pleased with this product. This product is going to for many many years to come best product on the market!!!!

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:
2001 Dodge Ram Pickup

I originally had ordered a different product but it was back ordered a month which I was ok with. After I placed the order, I received an email stating they had another conector that was basically identical that was in stock and if I wanted to switch to that one, I could call in and switch. So, I called in and they changed my order to that in-stock plug and it was here within a week! Awesome and easy customer service. It was also really easy to truck.

As for installation, it went flawless and I was done in under an hour. Hooked it up to one of my trailers and everything works perfect (including trailer brakes). Very happy with the whole purchasing/installing experience!

  • 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...

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for a 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 Mega Cab Towing a 2008 Cyclone M-3210
    When choosing a fifth wheel hitch, you should choose a hitch that has a weight capacity greater than the fully loaded or gross weight of your trailer. If your 2008 Cyclone M-3210 will remain under 16,000 lbs when it is loaded with your cargo, then you can use your Reese 16K slider hitch. To determine this, you will want to take the weight of all of the cargo that you plan on loading in the trailer and add that the the dry weight of the trailer. If the gross trailer weight will exceed 16,000...

Using this harness provides a 7-way blade style connector in your truck bed for a hassle-free hookup of the 5th wheel and gooseneck trailers. The harness length is 10 foot.

  • Availability of Dodge Adapter Harness to Move 7-Way from Rear of Truck with Square Connector
    I believe we have exactly what you are looking for. The Hopkins 7-Way Harness part # HM42137 is a kit that plugs into the square connectors of your truck and allows you to install a second 7-way elsewhere in the truck bed. Typically this is installed up near the wheel well for gooseneck or fifth wheel applications. The harness is a bit longer than you need at 10 feet but would still work well.

    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.

However, components like vehicle wiring, brake controller, or safety chains will not be included with these the two hitches. If needed, I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller, # 90885, with the Brake Controller Wiring Harness, # 3020-P. I also recommend...

If you want a manual sliding hitch, I recommend the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs # BWRVK3400-5W which is designed to work seamlessly with your current under bed gooseneck hitch. This is an extremely popular option for people who want to use a gooseneck and have a...
