Installation

This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's factory tow package wiring harness, which is located at the rear of your vehicle, slightly toward the driver's side.


Once installation is complete, the connectors will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. A mounting bracket is included to keep the connectors secure.


It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plugs on your automobile and the 7-pole and 4-pole connectors - to help prevent corrosion.

Works great, easy to install . The only complaint is the mounting bracket it is cheaply made and the mounting screws were not long enough for installing on the rear step bumper. Used original screws to make it work.

I tried replacing this piece on my 2003 Toyota Tundra. Local dealers didn't have what I needed. In checking with etrailer I found the part and a great description with pictures to make sure it fit my application. Upon arriving the part was exactly what I needed and exactly as described on etrialer site.
The product is of much higher quality than what came on the vehicle from the factory too. Great job guys!!



by:
2005 Toyota Tundra

Fits the factory OEM wiring harness on my 05 Tundra Ltd Dbl Cab. Truly plug & play. I would buy it again and have bought two here. Thanks



by:
2006 Toyota Tundra

After damaging my existing 7-way connector on my 2006 Tundra I decided to take on the task of replacing myself. After some reviews I chose the Hopkins 7-way with 4-way connector. Super easy install as it was just plug and go. One needs to make sure of your current wiring especially on the 3 wires (12-v, electric brake, backup). One minor inconvenience was that I had to drill out the holes in the bracket which connects to the bumper. Not a big deal. Excellent product and look and the added 4-way is a nice bonus. Will definitely recommend the product and etrailer.



by:

Item fit exactly, except the mounting bracket holes had to be made larger to mount in the same holes. A couple of zip ties would have been helpful. Over all it seemed to be a good purchase.



by:

This item was on back order. Their sales representative called me communicated when it was going to arrive. This item arrived yesterday. I just installed it, works great easy to install.



by:

Fast shipping. Lowest price. Easy to find website and products. Thank you.



by:
2006 Toyota Tundra

This is a perfect replacement for the stock Toyota 2006 Tundra, it is higher quality than the original, and at a fraction of Toyota's price. Replacing the old part was trivial. Etrailer's service was exceptional: it was shipped within hours, I received tracking information promptly, and the shipping cost was very modest.



by:

Bracket is too weak and bends back when I push in the trailer plug. Also some of the holes were either too small or didn't line up with the original bracket.



by:

Great product and fit!!! Needed to drill new holes for mounting bracket, but easy enough to do. After that was done, everything went perfect. Simple plug in connection on truck if you have factory towing package. I had done in about 30 mins.



by:

I was very, very pleased that my order came in as quickly as it did. Thank you very much.

Exactly the right connector I needed

Arrived on time. Great product. Mounting bracket fit existing holes. Electrical connections fit perfect. Heavy duty wires. Great price. What more can you ask for?



by:

This is a good product. It installed without any difficulty and has worked every time I have used it over the last year. The only reason I did not give it five stars is because the mounting bracket is a little flimsy for a full sized pickup truck. I would recommend this product to others.



by:

Wrong one. What part do I need? The pic shows my truck end plugs. ??



by:

This product does exactly what I needed it to do. Still works great a year later. Looks like it's from the factory.



by:
2006 Toyota Tundra

My original connector was damaged. I was looking for a replacement at a good price - Toyota wants $300 for this part.

I love that etrailer was a good price, but especially like how they have pictures that are different than the stock photos other online retailers use. I was able to see that the bracket was included in this - no need to buy anything else.

The price here was fantastic, not only did it beat [the other online retailers], but it was one of the least expensive around.

After placing my product I was notified quickly that it shipped - and I even got tracking information. My recent purchases online seem to think that extra step isn't necessary - and only give me info if I asked for it.

The product installation was easy. Several reviewers said I'd need to make the holes in the brackets larger. Yes, I needed to. I just got my drill out and used a slightly larger diameter bit to widen the holes. I then used the OEM holes and bolts. It fits well, plugged in just fine. It looks solid and has weather resistant covers for the two plugs. It's also super that both plug types are included - I no longer need that bulky 4->7 wire plug adapter.

Great product, easy installation, great price, perfect shipping! Thank you etrailer!

The trailer harness is working very well. I just used it last month for towing a car home. I like the fact that it’s a single connection and stays closed and out of the weather. I appreciate you following up with me. I’m glad I did business with you.



by:

Works perfect. Factory trailer plug doesn't have both 7 and 4 way so it's nice having both without needing an adapter



by:
2006 Toyota Tundra

Nice product. Fast shipping. Plug looks like a factory OEM part. Installation was super easy.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND



by:

This is absolutely a great product at a fair price. In fact, it is better than the OEM in that it has the 4 - wire adapter on the side, so no need to carry the plug in adapter when pulling a smaller trailer without brakes. Installed in minutes with the factory connectors. Been using it for a year now and happy with it.

The harness has worked very well for me! Happy to say I dont have to worry about it... was very well made and performs its job without any trouble. Thanks for marketing a fine product.



by:
2006 Toyota Tundra

My 2006 Tundra’s factory harness kicked the bucket so this seemed like a great alternative. Installation was the exact reverse of removal of the OEM harness. I did have to drill out the mounting holes a bit to match the original bolts on the truck, but that only took a couple minutes. The separate 4-pin is very convenient and keeps me from needing an adapter. It’s not quite the factory look, but still very neat and clean (maybe it’s just because the rest of the truck isn’t as new and shiny anymore). Overall I’m very happy with the connector!

Connector is still working perfectly. I trailer about every two weeks and just hit it with some grease now and again to keep the connection clean.



by:

Harness didn't come with hardware to connect it to the bracket. Harness wasn't an exact fit to the factory harness but close enough I was able to make it work.



by:
2010 Toyota Tundra

Mounted on my 2003 tundra as a direct replacement for the original receptacle. plugs snap in to the harness as good as they would be expected. The bracket has drill holes in the correct place, just needed to be drilled out to fit the oem bolts. It comes with smaller screws to replace the bolt hardware, if your threads are stripped out. took me 30 minutes to install, I reused the old plastic snap on pieces. If I didn't you could do the job in 10 minutes.

great product, although we havent towed a trailer the connector has withstood winter snow by staying in one piece.

  • Can the Factory Tow Package Connectors On Rear of 2006 Toyota Tundra Be Replaced
    I do have an option for you but we don't carry the factory plugs that connect to the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness part # HM43385 on a 2006 Toyota Tundra. That said, you could indeed simply remove them and hardwire the wires using butt connectors like part # DW05745-5 and part # DW05744-5. I am not sure if you would even be able to find the connectors so in which case this would be the best option. If the wires don't color match you will need to test or look at the pin outs...

  • 7-Way and 4-way Trailer Connector Recommendation for 2004 Toyota Tundra with Factory Tow Package
    The colors of the wires of the # HM43385 may not perfectly match what you have on your 2004 Toyota Tundra, but as long as they functions match up (they should), this product would be exactly what you need. You can verify that the connectors you found match pins of the diagram with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993. You will need someone to apply the different taillight functions while you test the pins with the connector.

  • Replacement 7-Way Trailer Socket for 2006 Toyota Tundra
    If your 2006 Toyota Tundra had a factory-installed 7-way trailer socket that needs replacement I recommend the Hopkins Multi-Tow 7-Way Blade and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM43385. This plugs in to the factory wiring using two connectors; the mating connectors on the Hopkins part are shown in the linked photo. If your truck instead happens to have a round U.S. Car Connector at the rear bumper then I suggest instead Pollak part # PK11893 which will plug in to that connector.

  • Needing to Wire a 7-Way Connector to a 2004 Toyota Tundra
    On your 2004 Toyota Tundra, there are two possible 7-way connectors that could work on your vehicle. Up under the rear of your truck there should be two plugs that you will need to plug in the 7-way. One plug will be connected to your current 4-flat plug. This plug have 4 wires going into the plug. the other plug will have either a 2 wire or a 3 wire plug. This plug will run from the brake control wiring to the 7-way. If you have the 2 wire plug, then you will need # HM11143395. If your...

    We do have a replacement 7-way and 4-way trailer connector for the 2007 Toyota Tundra, but before we can determine which harness will work for your truck, we will need to know what type of plugs your trucks tow package wiring requires and how the connectors are wired. Unfortunately, Toyota decided to wire this truck a number of different ways. The Tundra had a generation change between 2006 and 2007 and this caused some discrepancies in the wiring.

  • Replacement Trailer Hitch for 2006 Toyota Tundra w/ Factory Hitch
    The 2006 Tundra could have been equipped with the 'Factory' hitch two different ways. If it was a dealer installed option, it would simply bolt to the frame members but if it arrived from the factory with the hitch, the hitch is tied into the bumper mounting brackets and the bumper would need to be replaced to remove the existing hitch. Since you've already replaced the bumper, you'll be able to install the # 13184, which Curt has confirmed for me. For a wiring harness, you'll need #...

  • 7-way and 4-Way Recommendation for a 2000 Toyota Tundra
    If you do not have a trailer connector at the rear of your 2000 Toyota Tundra you will need to start with a 4-way first. For that you would want the part # 118367. Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way. If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185 and a brake controller. This kit comes with everything needed to wire up the 7-way and install a brake controller.

  • Using Hopkins # HM43385 or Tow Ready # 20137 Replacement 7-Way Connector on 2006 Toyota Tundra
    There is a difference between the Tow Ready # 20137 and the Hopkins # HM43385. Each trailer connector uses two plugs that insert into the factory connections, but the 3 pin plug on each is wired DIFFERENTLY. For some unknown reason, Toyota wired the plugs differently on some vehicles. If you look at the photo I've edited for you, you can see the difference. The replacement 7-way you use will depend on how your 3-pin plug on your Tundra is wired. Use a circuit tester like # 40376, and...

    According to Hopkins, their # HM43385 is compatible with the 2003-2007 Tundra, but not the Tacoma. Since you already have the OEM 7-way, and you are simply wanting to add a 4-pole, you could just use part # 118384. This is a T-connector that will plug inline with the factory harness that plugs into the rear of your 7-way. Installation would be simple.

  • Tips for Seperating Connectors of Hopkins 7-Way Wiring Harness # HM43385
    The latches of the # HM43385 are reverse cam latches. Basically you will have to press down on the latch on the male side of the connector while pulling out at the same time. Sometimes connectors can be difficult to separate. I have found that if you press down on the release and then use a wide flat screwdriver between the two connectors to pry them apart that usually does the trick. A twisting motion with the screwdriver should do the trick.
