This product works as expected. There is not too much to the installation, just plug it in properly and mount the ground wire.
I did not find an easy way to mount this to my wife's Odyssey, or to the trailer hitch (item# 75270). Luckily, I do prototype design and manufacturing. So I came up with my own solution. I designed and made my own bracket to mount the 7 pole to the trailer hitch. It works like a charm, and looks great!
i had to replace these two items as my dear daughter went down our goat path driveway too fast. they replaced the originals from etrailer from the prior year. shipping is timely and customer service actually helps! i wired from battery to controller to hitch myself, and everything fit.
I was really skeptical about this adapter but for no reason! Installed in about 10 minutes using etrailer mounting bracket, dielectric grease, a couple zip ties, and some electric tape. Worked perfectly the first time I tested it on my trailer.
this connector along with the short L bracket and the mount bracket- gave me a nice connector to my hitch.
Though I used the short connector and did have to slightly bend it to allow the 4 to 7 pole connector to fit.
If Id bought the long L bracket-- It could have worked-- but bending a little worked well.
Works great. Easy install.
It's more sensitive to dirt than I expected, but that might be common to all trailer connections, I don't know. I noticed on a trip that my brake controller said NC (no connection), and I didn't have trailer brakes, which meant my blinkers probably hadn't been working, either. I got pretty worried, and looked at it and only saw just a little black gunk on one blade. But cleaning that small amount of black gunk off solved the problem.
So far, so good!

Thanks for your business and your review, Zach! Using dielectric grease like 11755 on your connections increases reliability and the life of the connection by preventing corrosion and sealing the connection.

Joe at etrailer was able to provide this solution and saved me literally hundreds of dollars to have a reputable place put in a new harness onto my AWD MKX. Thank you!

The adapter worked out perfectly. And now after almost a year no issues whatsoever.
This 7 point harness wired right in with my T1 connector and is great for hooking up to my camper, very easy to install!
The staff is very friendly. I would have awarded 5 stars but there was a shipping issue. They did get me all the parts I ordered, with simple communication, a couple pictures and minimal frustrations I got everything over two shipments. It took a little longer to get everything then anticipated. They deserve 4.5 stars not just a 4. I will do business with them again and I do recommend them. Will be ordering a receiver hitch through them this spring.
There was no splicing wires, it was plug-and-play, highly recommended, very easy installation
I wanted to show the custom installation. I did not want it under the bumper
Works great! Remember to ground it to: 1) tow vehicle frame, or 2) directly to tow vehicle negative terminal. Do not ground it trailer frame because you need to complete the circuit to the tow vehicle battery.
Wiring harnesses will simplify the job I'm doing glad that I found these products and I also had a good experience dealing with etrailer they keep you informed about shipping and the products are ship fast. Thank you
I bought this because I hated the flat four pole that just hung over the bumper. Drilled a 1 7/8 inch hole in my bumper with bimetal hole saw. Mounted nice and clean. Be sure to hook up the White ground wire to your frame. The ground wire from the flat four does not pass thru this connector. Also if need be you can still pull a trailer with a flat four pole just by unpluging it

It’s a year later. Still working great no problems
Has been working great since purchased and installed 3 months ago. Used for several different trailers and long distance trips. Easy to install. Had to be slightly creative with the attachment of the ground. Did not see a reason to have a ground on this portion since everything else is already grounded, however would not work without grounding to the frame. Only used the four way connection and taped remaining three back. Hope for good things to come with this produce. Highly recommend this product.

Had the same issue with the ground kurt. Almost gave up on it until I read your post. Thanks.

Thank you so much. Ours wasnt working either until we grounded it to car frame.
This is a great product . The price was $18.00 dollars cheaper than some I found online. I have a 2002 dodge ram 1500 pickup, this adapter will change the 4 pole( which is made on my truck) to a 7 pole( which is on the trailer I will be using). The product connected, and bolted up to my truck bumper very easy. E trailer is the best.

Im still enjoying this product, Ive used it several times, still workingwell
Every phone encounter I’ve had with etrailer has been excellent. Their staff on the phones know their stuff and they have most every rv/trailer accessory known to man. The seven pole side is much more robust than the four pole side, which I leave connected all of the time. Problem solved
Hitch was as advertised. The printed instructions made it a breeze. Took about an hour with me and an experienced mechanic. The light kit took a little longer than expected but was installed inside the car vice behind the lights like the video showed. Towing a camper this weekend, not expecting any issues.

All is well. Don’t use it that often but when I needed it they’ve been there. I’ll use etrailer from now on.
The website was extremely easy to use especially with the feature to pick my vehicles connection and my trailers connection. My purchase arrived very promptly and the customer service was excellent. The adapter works perfectly and I will definitely shop from etrailer again.

I appreciate the follow-up. I must say that your company has provided an excellent customer service experience for me. I wish more companies cared as much. The product still works great. I use it when towing my trailer regularly.
We only discovered this site recently and LOVE it. You don't have to know what you want, the questions lead you to exactly what you are needing. The item is of great quality, and as described. We can now swap from truck to jeep with our trailer, and simply without effort.
We have found our new 'to go' store for our trailer shopping. Customer Service by the way, terrific, great communication, and very quick shipping. Really Great Experience, Highly recommend.

Weve moved in the past year, our new home 250 miles away from our old one. We used the hitch a lot, did I say a lot? daily round trips, never had a single problem with it. Worked like a champ. Thanks
I was surprised how fast the shipping was and the price for the product was very reasonable. I did not mind that there was no mounting plate for the adapter because I wanted something that would hook up to the camper when I need to use it and then take it off afterwards. I know I will be coming to etrailer for any other trailer or camper needs that may come up.

could not be happier with the purchase that I made
Used this adaptor to replace the factory tow package flat 4-pin connector on my 2019 Toyota Highlander. It's sad that Toyota is still using a cheap flat 4-pin connector on their factory tow package for a vehicle rated to tow 5,000 LBS. Would it really have cost that much extra for them to just use a round 6- or 7-pin connector to begin with? The installation was pretty straightforward using a new mounting bracket for the round 7-pin connector in place of the existing 4-pin bracket. I hooked up the white ground wire to the mounting screw for the new bracket after sanding paint off the bracket and nut and using dielectric grease for the ground wire and 4-pin connections. Spent some time re-routing and zip-tying wires and taped up the 3 wires on the adaptor that I won't be using. Nice clean installation. Trailer running lights, turn signals and brake lights work great. A quality product delivered in a timely manner by etrailer.com.
Average quality part, would be nice to include a mount but ended up going the extra mile and used a hole saw to install it in my van’s bumper out of harms way. Would be easily damaged if mounted near the hitch.
This RV receptacle works great for my set up. Most of the wires hooked to the Curt wiring harness connector. I installed a two wire cable from this to the front for 12Vddc and Electric brake control. I also hooked to my backup light to provide for my trailer back-up lights (LED).
I was wanting to pull an enclosed trailer that has 7 pole plug in, with my vehicle that only has 4 pole plug in, without messing with the wires at this time, so I ordered the 4 pole to 7 pole adapter for this purpose. When item arrived I plugged adapter in, checked lights and on my way I went. all the extra wiring is there when I decide to add a brake controller. Now I can unplug the adapter and still use my 4 pole plug in. The item was well put together with tight wiring, price was reasonable, the shipping was smooth and the website is outstanding with plenty of instructions, wiring diagrams and the how to videos are a real plus on wiring up trailers. Thanks for an informative website and great product.
