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.

Installed on my 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 in ten minutes. Works excellent! No more draping my wiring harness over my tailgate!
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

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.

Factory style connectors worked perfect. Highly recommend this product and would absolutely buy again.

Very well just as expected.

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.

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

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.

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.

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: Rich Ike04/25/2014
Ordered part and it was picked, packaged and shipped same day and arrived when said. I would order from you again. I ordered the 5th wheel harness for bed of truck. Just unplug one wire harness and plug in the other, easy and fast.

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!
by: Ray10/03/2014
Super easy install. Only needed about half the length of the wiring harness it comes with. Forget looking all over for a 2 1/8" hole saw. A 2" will do the trick. (The trailer video says 1 1/8", but that needs to be corrected). This harness is well worth the money.
by: Mike L09/25/2016

The hitch was better than I thought it would be. Installation was easy with the enclosed instruction sheets. The Quality of the hitch assy. is great. I highly recommend this hitch.
The wiring harness worked great and was easy to install.

Product was shipped quickly upon ordering, and received in good condition. Extremely easy installation, 10 minutes max, all while baby napped. Nothing more simple than plug and play. I enjoyed not having to splice and butcher my existing vehicle harness. Customer service with this order, and other orders has always been of the upmost. Keep up the good work.

- 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 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.

view full answer... - Troubleshooting Brake Controller that Does Not Work at Trailer ConnectorIf the brake output is active at the back of the controller but then not active at the 7-way connector that would indicate you have a short on that circuit somewhere between the two. It could be as simple as corrosion on the pins of the 7-way or even at the back but if not you'd have to trace the wiring to find the short and fix as needed. I attached a help article on troubleshooting brake controller installs for you to check out as well.

Make sure that the trailer connectors are clean and free of corrosion inside and out and that all of the grounds, including the ones for...
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.

The wiring harness is 8 feet long, but any existing slack can be taken up and bundled up under the vehicle with zip ties.

The 7-Way Pre-Wired Car Connector, # 20023, is not a plug and play option. Wiring would be required.

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...

You will want to make sure you secure the wiring so that it has no chance of separating under the truck. As I said I have not heard anyone say they were installing an additional connector so...
