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!

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.

Very easy install. Way too long of a harness for my needs.
by: Peter08/15/2022
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. Factory style connectors worked perfect. Highly recommend this product and would absolutely buy again. Thanks etrailer for your quality products and wealth of application/installation info available!!!

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!

Very good quality. And easy to install.
Everything needed for installation provided.

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.
by: Bruce B.08/01/2015
High quality and good instructions. The manufacturer provides plenty of cable to put the additional connector virtually anywhere.

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!

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.

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.

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.

- Is Removal Of The Bed Necessary To Install B&W Turnover Ball Gooseneck on 02 Ram 2500 or 09 Ram 3500Installation of both the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1394 for your 2002 Ram 2500 and # BWGNRK1308 for your 2009 Ram 3500 Mega Cab short bed will not require the bed to be lifted or disconnected in any way. The instructions for both do mention a lifting device is recommended but this is only for holding the center hitch section under the bed while you bolt it up to the cross rails. I recommend getting a Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring...
view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Rails for Reese Rail Kit of 2008 Dodge Ram 2500Good job finding the rail kit part number! That means that at one point it has the part # RP50040-58 installed so for replacement rails you'd need the # RP58058 which comes with new install hardware as well. Then for an air bag kit the Firestone kit part # F2701 is the best option that provides the highest quality air bags. Then for a 7-way kit to install in the bed of the truck you would want the part # HM42137.
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Install 7-Way and Brake Controller 2004 Dodge Ram 1500Sounds like the brake controller wiring you found under the dash of your 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 doesn't run to the rear of the vehicle. I would be shocked if any of the circuits are active though on that connector as everything we know on your vehicle indicates that there's nothing there. So to convert to a 7-way and install a brake controller you would need the # ETBC7 which comes with everything needed for that. Since you want a knob brake controller the best option is the Redarch Tow Pro...

Then for the actual hitch I recommend the B&W Patriot # BWRVK3270 sliding hitch if you have a short bed but then you can use the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16115 if you have a long bed. The sliding feature on the Patriot ensures your 5th wheel doesn't hit your cab when making tight turns but the E16...
view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90 Degree Wiring Harness For A 2008 Dodge Ram Pickup When it comes to installing a 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90 Degree wiring harness I recommend The Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness with 7-Pole Plug # HM42137. This harness is confirmed to fit your 2008 Dodge Ram Pickup. 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. The wire gauges are below: Purple/Green/Yellow/Brown - 16 Gauge Blue/Red/White...
view full answer... - 7-Way Wiring Recommendation for Fifth Wheel 7-Way in the Bed of 2001 Dodge Ram 2500Looks like somebody used quick splices to wire in the 7-way on your 2001 Dodge Ram and then when they removed the 7-way they just cut the wires leading to them. Thank you for the picture though as that helps me understand you setup very easily. Since it sounds like you are trying to install a second 7-way in the truck bed of your truck the easiest solution would be the part # HM42137 that would install inline with the factory 7-way wiring harness.
view full answer... - Recommended Wiring Harness for an In Bed 7-Way Connector on a 2000 Dodge Ram To add a 7-Way connector to the bed of your 2000 Dodge Ram 2500 you will need the Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness item # HM42137. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your 5th wheel or gooseneck trailer easier and more convenient. I have linked an installation video below. To replace the 7-way on your bumper you're going to want the Hopkins Endurance Quick-Install...
view full answer... - Compatibility of Curt 5TH Wheel Rails With RBW Hitch On a 2002 Dodge Ram 3500Yes, 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. This protects your tailgate from...

- 7-Way Kit Recommendation for Truck Bed of 2017 Ram 2500 Towing 5th WheelWe have just what you need. The Bargman 5th Wheel 7-Way kit part # 50-97-410 is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Ram 2500 and gives you a 7-way you can install in the bed of your truck. It installs by plugging in line with the 7-way at the rear of your truck and then gives you enough wire length to mount in your truck bed.

This kit is fully compatible with your RBW Lil Rocker 5th wheel hitch and includes all hardware, L-brackets and above-bed base rails. I have included links to an installation video and to the written instructions for this product. If your Ram is equipped with overload springs, you can also use the custom-fit Reese Mounting Bracket Kit for Dodge Ram, part # RP58186, which replaces the L-brackets included...
view full answer... - Why Does the Hopkins 5th Wheel Wiring Connector have 10 Pins but only 7 are UsedAs long as you are installing the 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness # HM42137 on one of the vehicles that is a confirmed fit for you should be fine. To see if this is the correct product for you scroll down on the product page to see if this is confirmed fit for your vehicle. The reason your factory connector has more female pins than the red side of the # HM42137 has male pins is because there are only 7 circuits that need to be run to your 7-way so only 7 pins need to be used...
view full answer... - Can I Transfer 5th Wheel Hitch Base Rails from a 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 to a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500Your 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.

I recommend using a custom kit like # C16420-204 that cuts the installation time in half because there is no drilling required. This kit includes the brackets, rails, and hardware needed. We also offer the semi-custom installation kit, part # C16301-200. This kit does require drilling when installing,...
view full answer... - Can 7-Way Wiring be Used to Power Headache Rack Lighting FunctionsThe problem with using 7-way wiring for a headache rack is that there isn't a dedicated stoplight circuit so if the rack has a third brake light you won't find the correct circuit at this harness. The turn signals, running lights, and reverse lights are present though with the # HM42137. I attached a diagram that shows where you'll find them.

- Should the 16K or 18K B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch be Used for a 16,000 lb GVWR TrailerYou 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...
view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel Rails and Gooseneck Conversion for 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 with 6.5 Foot BedFor your 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 Short box, the design of your gooseneck trailer will dictate whether you need an offset hitch ball or a slider hitch with a gooseneck adapter like # KPG5-R30IP or # KPG5-Q30IP. I've also attached the page to many other options that will adapt a gooseneck to work with a sliding 5th wheel hitch. A great option for a gooseneck trailer with a short box truck is the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler - 2-5/16" Ball - 10" Offset - 24,000 lbs # BWTEXA4200 to give...
view full answer... - 5th Wheel Base Rail Kit for Husky Hitch in 2000 Dodge Ram 3500 4x4 with 8-Foot BedFor your 2000 Dodge Ram 3500 4x4 with 8-foot bed I recommend Husky's custom-fit 5th wheel base rail kit # HT31404-686. This kit will take less time to install than universal-fit types and it will work with your Husky 5th wheel or any other hitch made for industry-standard above-bed base rails. If you also need a 5th wheel wiring harness for the truck bed you can use part # HM42137 from Hopkins.
view full answer... - Recommended Curt Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2007 Dodge Ram Short BedTo tow a fifth wheel trailer with your 2007 Dodge Ram with a 6-1/2 foot bed you will need to install base rails in your truck bed in order to mount a Curt sliding hitch. Base rails come with installation kits and there are two different options for an '07 Dodge Ram, depending on the model of your truck; I will list the kits and you can select the right one. Keep in mind these kits come with both the base rails and frame brackets so you do not need to purchase them separately. - 2007 Dodge...

This hitch slides automatically as you drive to give you 14 inches of additional clearance for tight turns.

If your truck did not come with a factory 7-Way then this connector will not work. If it does have a factory 7-Way then I think I have a better option for you since you need the connection to be more at the front of the bed for the camper. You can use a 5th wheel/gooseneck harness and connector, # HM42137. This will plug in line with the factory 7-Way wiring. Normally the connector...

These rails include the custom fit mounting brackets so you will not have to drill into your trucks frame. These are one of the few rail kits made in the USA featuring a lifetime warranty. The rails have the industry standard mounting holes to accept 5th wheel hitches from most manufacturers. The Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness # HM42137 will...

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.
