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 truck bed for my Lance 650 coupled with Lance bed mount wiring harness purchased from another RV supply company to complete install and saved $600 from Lance dealer install. Also ran 2/8 gauge wires fused to truck battery hot and ground.



by:

Excellent product, fit perfectly where I wanted to mount it. Does not stick out when hauling landscape materials and lumber with 5th wheel hitch removed.



by:

This wiring harness is ideal for cutting in a trailer plug for your fifthwheel
I had it installed within an hour of delivery. Great job e-trailer!

The trailer wire bundle is a perfect fit and is like new after many connects this past year. I highly recommend.



by:

Just purchased a new to me 2020 Ram 3500. Surprisingly, this truck had no towing components other than just a receiver hitch. I ordered the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer hitch and Hopkins wiring harness. Super easy to install yourself. I want to give Amy at etrailer a huge shout out for her excellent communication starting with the ordering process to final delivery. etrailer will definitely be be my go to source.



by:
Ford F-350 Super Duty

Received the harness just as described and on the same day as expected. Great product from etrailer! With minimal modifications, I will use the harness to connect my Lance truck camper to my F350 truck.



by:

Easy to install. If there one thing to note, it would be to add a caution in the instructions about drilling thru the inner bed wall. It will be easy to drill thru the inner wall to hit the outer wall, leaving a nasty dimple on the side of your truck. A drill stop should be used. I like to use tape wrapped around the drill bit and then around the hole saw. About 10 to 15 raps works.



by:
2023 Ford F-250 Super Duty

I've used one of these in the past with a Chevy and had no problems but my most recent one was either faulty or did not work with a Ford. The truck wouldn't recognize it at all so I had to order a factory replacement.



by:
2019 Chevrolet Silverado

The wiring harness was an easy install on my 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500HD LTZ Duramax diesel. Shipping was quick to the Pacific Northwest. The cord length is perfect for a custom placement. Looks like a factory installation with 100% positive tests when hooked up to the fifth wheel trailer.



by:

This was something I wanted to do for awhile and Now it's in and I couldn't be happier. The ease of pulling in the truck was awesome.

Installed this when I bought a truck camper. It was plug and play at the factory Ford end. I needed a 7-way at the front, driver's side of the bed for camper hookup. A little drilling and some hardware install and it works great at the front of the bed. I cracked the cover, no fault of Hopkins brand.

After a year, this product has been great. Worked as described and was plug and play at the rear factory Ford end.

Had this on my truck for a year now, still working perfectly. This is clearly a quality product.

Sales team and service was excellent. Product arrived on time and in excellent condition. Would recommend this company to anyone looking for anything to do with trailers.



by:
2014 Dodge Ram Pickup

I have a 14 Ram 6.7 without the convenient in bed plug-in for connecting my 5th feel connection. Always had to drape it over the tailgate.

A medium sized hole saw, some zip ties, and this harness did the trick



by:

Shorted every thing out now have no power to oem plug not happy!!!

That is not good at all! There are couple of things it could be. Do you have the camper connected and are trying to haul a trailer as well? It could also be that the wiring is bent or corroded somewhere on the new harness or the vehicles wiring.



by:
2023 Ford F-350 Super Duty

Everything works as stated. I'm very happy with the harness



by:

Easy installation, perfect fit. Completed install in 15 min!

Simple install. Mounting socket seems built well and heavy duty.



by:
2024 Ford F-350 Super Duty

Easy to install but doesn't work for my truck, 2024 F350, when it says it does. The lights would work but not the brakes. Just buy the OEM plug and save yourself some time and money in the long run. I would not recommend this.



by:
2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

My package was damaged in transit and the hitch ball was missing. Customer service was awesome and very quick to make it right.



by:

The install was very straightforward and the quality seems top notch. I'd recommend these products to anyone. I'll be purchasing a sidewinder pin box to complete this once our new fifth wheel arrives.



by:
2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

Great product. Installation time was ten to fifteen minutes even with cutting the hole in the box. This is an excellent kit overall. The zip ties that came with it were a little small, so I used my own. It would be nice if the kit came with the ground screw. I would recommend this product to anyone. I installed it on my 2004 Chevy 2500 HD.

by:

2013 Ford F250.
Easy install.
Installed
on side of bed.
Won't have to worry about tight turns and pulling on the plug or pulling it out. It was previously mounted on the under the bumper.
Everything went together smoothly.
All parts and accessories were in the box, didn't need anything extra.
Had the entire install done in about 20 minutes.

Thanks for a super product.

I have been using the connection for a year now and it has held about to a vigorous use. I remain satisfied with the product.

Always amazing service and products. Thanks to all the etrailer team.

Josh did a great job! I had a few questions and he was very knowledgeable. I had something that was on backorder and kept me in the loop. He has also sold me a set of Firestone air bags. I installed it alm this weekend and everything we talked about was correct. The bags reduced my sag and I am more than happy to tell all my friends about Josh and how he’s been my go to guy! Thanks!!!

  • Where Is Trailer Connector Located On 2016 Chevrolet Express Van 3500 W/ Factory Tow Package
    Since your 2016 Chevrolet Express Van 3500 has the factory tow package, it should have a factory installed 7-way trailer connector. If there is not one, look underneath the bumper/spare tire area of the van for a connector that resembles the harness shown in the included picture of the # 41157. If you have this connector then you can install a 4-way/7-way connector combination # HM40975 that you were looking at without any issues. Now if you cannot find the connector then your van may...

    I recommend using the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # RP50142-58 for the Andersen Ultimate Connection # AM3200 on your 2019 Ram 1500 Classic because it eliminates any drilling into the frame of your pickup (you do need to make holes in the bed of your truck though which is the same for any rail kit). Then for wiring I recommend the Hopkins Endurance # 41157 because it is a reliable option that uses the 90-degree wiring so you don't have to worry about pinching...

  • Adding Underbed Puck System and Gooseneck to 2018 GMC 2500HD Without Factory Prep Package Pucks
    For your 2018 GMC 2500HD without factory prep puck system, I recommend adding one using the Reese Elite Series Under-Bed Gooseneck Complete Hitch # RP30158-68. This will give you pucks that look and function just like the factory yet the 5th wheel pucks will be in slightly different location/position than the factory kit. It is designed for using the Reese Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter for Standard 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 20,000 lbs # RP30156 to give you the industry standard...

However, the Curt hitch model # C61301-52 that you referenced is an over the bed hitch that was not designed to fit in a 5-1/2 bed. If you are looking for an over the bed gooseneck ball hitch the Curt Overbed, Folding Ball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Installation Kit, # C61331-52 is designed to fit a 2016 Chevy Silverado with the 5-1/2 foot bed.

    The Hopkins Endurance 90-Degree Wiring Harness, part # 41157, is designed to plug into the existing wiring on your 2013 Dodge Ram 2500, and still retain the use of the 7-pole connector at the bumper. Normal installation would be accomplished by drilling through the bed liner, and mounting the connector through the bed liner in a convenient place that has enough clearance, usually behind the wheel well on the driver side of the truck bed.

    Since you need to retain the use of the 7-way at your rear bumper for towing while having the same lighting signals available near the cab for your headache rack, one option to consider is using a 5th wheel harness such as # 41157 from Hopkins. This plug-in harness provides on one end dual round U.S. Car connectors in a Y-arrangement that allow you to tap into your existing 7-Way (while keeping all of its functions active for your tow rig). On the other end of the 8-foot cable is a standard...

  • Fit of Curt C60633 Custom Under-Bed Gooseneck Hitch on 2019 Ram 2500
    The Curt # C60633 Custom Under-Bed mount gooseneck hitch you'd looked at is compatible with your 2019 Ram 2500 Diesel as long as it doesn't have the factory puck system. If you'd like to install a 7-way trailer connector in the truck bed so you don't need to run the trailer connector cable up and over the tailgate, you can install one using part # 41157. I've linked to install videos for the hitch and the trailer connector/harness I recommended.

  • Recommendation on a Sidewinder Pin Box to Replace a Lippert 1621 Pin Box
    For your Cougar 5th wheel trailer with a Lippert 1621 pin box rated at 15-1/2K, I recommend the Sidewinder 5th Wheel Pin Box 16K # RP34FR. This Sidewinder pin box is the confirmed replacement for a Lippert 1621. The Sidewinder has a 16K pound weight capacity and will provide an extra 22 inches of clearance by moving the pivot point back under the trailer. You will also need a traditional 5th wheel hitch installed in your 2010 Ford F-150. I recommend installing the hitch with the Quick-Install...

    Yes, to install a fifth wheel hitch in your 2014 Ram 3500 all you'd need is the Curt hitch part numbers # C16545-16021. There are no other parts needed since you have the factory rail kit. For a 7-way to install in the bed of your truck to make connecting your trailer lights easier you would want the part # 41157.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch For 2016 GMC Sierra 2500
    The factory tow package for most trucks have changed to the puck system for new models like yours. That offers the convenience of not having an aftermarket underbed rail system, but it does make most hitches incompatible. So, there is an adapter, but not an ideal option for your vehicle unless you have a specific pin box on your trailer. For your B&W hitch, you can get a new base with the puck system for a non-sliding hitch, like what you have, but that is not recommended for the 6-1/2...
