Excellent Quick Delivery
When you are driving a Test or NASCAR Hauler you need replacement parts very quick, just like a pit stop. Thank You very much for the rapid delivery.

A great little heavy duty plug that I use to connect my car to the rv when towing 4 down.

Entailer has the website to find and deliver the parts I have needed to repair my trailering needs. Easy to find my same parts that needed replacing.

Had everything I needed to wire my Jeep Grand Cherokee. YouTube videos exist to help. There some surprisingly difficult places to route the wires along the frame.
by: Detlef09/03/2023
This is a well engineered and solidly built trailer socket. Made from sturdy cast metal and not from breakable plastic. I like the removable terminal block with barriers between the pins to prevent inadvertent shorts. Most importantly, the split terminals are made from brass so they will not corrode plus provide very good conductivity compared to steel. I’ve read the terminal block is replaceable, but haven’t seen a link as to where to buy one if that is ever needed.

@David Thanks, we really appreciate your business!

Replaced original cracked plastic plug (4 years old) that came with blue ox tow system. Love the strudy metal. Unfortunately, the diameter of the oepning for the plug is just a bit too large. Plug fully seats so that tab on underside of spring-loaded lid engages, but the weight of the coil cord back to motorhome tilts the plug down a few degrees (due to too-large opening). This position disengages the retaining tab on the outlet's lid, and vibrations can easily pop the plug out. I'm currently running with 3 zipties to hold the plug in firmly while I figure out a replacement. Not going to keep cutting zipties off at every stop. I'm surprised that no one else seems to have run into this problem.
by: Steve08/25/2023
these are just what need, I just got them in the mail about 30 min ago, could not find both parts at local farm store. these look like what I used when I was younger, they worked great then so should be good now. I thought I had a problem, but it was just me. Steve
by: Keith10/31/2022
I gave the poor rating for the same reason that I had to buy this socket to replace our original one. The pin that holds the lid and spring slides out and you lose the lid. The replacement when received already had the pin slid out past one side. This time I slid it back and put a dab of jb weld on each side to keep it in place.
by: Steven J02/09/2020
Used this at the front of my toad. Mounted it under the license plate (used a spring loaded bracket). Works great never a problem.

Yes both products still perfectly. It has been a pleasure doing business with you.
by: Vinnfizz05/09/2022
Fits perfect! New Toad, New baseplate, new factory plug-in lighting electrical harness but it came with a four pin plug incompatible with old jumper coil harness. Easy installation. I added 2 large washers under sheet metal screws used by BlueOx to attach and reinforce the mounting holes as some reviews had cracking around baseplate holes. Same type used on Prior Toad never had any issues but why not spread the load with larger washers.
by: Ben02/06/2019
Good quality trailer plug. I used this for the lighting connection on the tailgate of a stacker trailer (race car trailer) and it saw a lot of use over the past year. None of the pins have broken or bent, no connection issues at all. Very satisfied.

Perfect replacement for existing connector. Easy to install, and solid when mounted.

Excellent replacement. Easy to install, working great. Love the pollak product.
by: Rex X11/20/2017
This product works perfect for our vehicles we pull our small trailer with. It allows us to also use it on our motorcycles and maintain a clean look instead of having a wire and plug hanging down. etrailer is punctual and efficient with customer care, answers to questions and delivery. Keep up the good work ET
by: Christian05/11/2016
I purchased this part to replace an similar one from Roadmaster which has a plastic housing. The Roadmaster front car plug was part of a wiring kit. All wire connectors rusted heavily in less than a year making the plug unsafe to use aND can no longer be serviced. I live in North Florida, maybe the Roadmaster products should only be used in Arizona.
This new part will most likely rust similarly, so I will apply a heavy coating of liquid electrical tape. And hope for the best.
by: Scott 10/03/2022
It appears to be a very durable unit. My previous plastic unit broke.
There could be better pictorial installation details that correlate with the written instructions.

This worked just fine . Couple of weeks ago took trailer from central Ohio. To Pigeon Forge . Tn . Every thing worked fine . I put this on to go out west . I pulled my camper out to Washington state , Down to Disneyland , back route 66 .

I needed a conector that would be built to hold up to weekly use and this item did not disappoint. I installed it on my farm tractor and my fuel transfer tank to make refueling my tractor quick and easy. Found this to be a quality built connector at a good price and supper fast shipping.
by: Douglas02/16/2015
eTrailer is the greatest! Great selection, best prices, fabulous communication from order to delivery AND fast trackable shipping.
All the reasons I keep buying from them.
Oh yea, the plug is just what I wanted
by: Page G03/26/2015
Could use a rubber seal under the front flap to clamp against to seal out the elements when not in use would be a bonus. A rubber reducer for different sizes of wire in back would help seal out the elements and prolong the life of the plug.

- How to Gain Access to Pins on Pollak 6-Pole Round Pin Trailer Wiring Socket PK11609The Pollak 6-Pole Round Pin Trailer Wiring Socket # PK11609 does have a small Philips type screw to hold the rear collar in place. You will need to remove this screw completely and pull/twist the collar to remove it for access to the pins for attaching your wiring. Don't feel bad...it is always smarter to ask a question than not.
view full answer... - Wiring Diagrams to Use for Replacing Vehicle 7-Way with 6-WayI attached two diagrams to this page. One that shows a 6-way and one that shows a 7-way. You can use that as a guide for wiring in a new 6-way like the part # PK11609.

- Completing the Wiring for a 7-Way Trailer ConnectorThe black wire coming out of the 7-way connector should be connected to 12 volt power from the vehicle battery. The blue wire connects to the trailer brake feed circuit coming from the brake controller mounted in the vehicle. If you need to run these wires for your connector you will need a 40 amp circuit breaker, item # PK54540, to attach the black power wire to the positive battery terminal. You can use the Wiring Kit for Electric Brake Controllers, item # 5506 and the 40 amp circuit...

If you have a 7-Way connector on your Ford and are trying wire the gooseneck to match the truck there are photos farther down on the page to show where each connection should be made inside the 7-way connector, item # PK12706, for the trailer end. There are also diagrams for the 6-Way connectors. If your trailer has alternate wire colors then you will need to use a...
view full answer... - How to Make a 4-way Round to 6-way Round AdapterYou are going to need to make an adapter to accomplish what you are trying to do. For that you would need the part # PK11402 for a 6-way and then part # 16-4B-1 for 4-way wiring and then a # PK11604 for a male 6-way or part # PK11609 for a female round 6-way.
view full answer... - Parts Needed for Wiring Extension with Vehicle End 6-Pole ConnectorsIn order to have a wiring extension with 2 vehicle end connectors on it, you will want to create your own extension. We do not carry a pre-wired extension with 2 vehicle end 6-pole connectors. You will want to use 2 of the Pollak 6-Pole, Round Pin, Trailer Wiring Socket # PK11609. These will need to be wired to either end of a length of 6-wire. You can use the Deka Wire - Jacketed 6-Wire # DW04906-1. This wire is sold by the foot, so you can order the best length for your application....
view full answer... - 6-Way Fifth Wheel Trailer Connector for 2011 GMC SierraIf your Sierra already has the 7-way connector installed in the bed, you can use an adapter to convert the 7-way to a 6-way. Hopkins makes a great heavy-duty adapter. If the center pin on the 6-way connector on the trailer carries the power to the trailer brakes, use part # HM47085. If the center pin is used for an auxiliary circuit, use part # HM47083. If you do not have the connector in the truck bed, I would recommend part # 50-97-410.

You can see everything that is included with this base plate kit in the attached photo. The Blue Ox Tail Light Wiring Kit part # BX8869 will work for you as long as you do not have LED tailights. You can add a 6-way round trailer connector to this kit with part # PK11609. If you do have LED tailights then I recommend...

- Wiring a Car Trailer with a 4-Way Plug with a New 6-Way ConnectorYes, we have a diagram on our wiring page, (see link) that you can use. You will need to remove the 4-Way connector and install a 6-Way connector, item # PK11604. You will have two wires coming off of each brake magnet on the trailer and you will need to ground one wire on each side and splice the other wire on each side to each other and another wire, spliced to these two, will go to the brake connection inside the 6-way connector, item # PK11604. It does not matter which wire from the...
view full answer... - What Wire Gauge Can Be Used with Pollak 6-Pole Wiring Socket PK11609I believe you are referring to the Pollak 6-Pole Trailer Wiring Socket - Vehicle End # PK11609. If you are asking about a different product please just let me know. This particular socket is designed to handle up to 12 gauge wire, but the most commonly used size wold be the slightly smaller 14 gauge that's found inside the Jacketed 6-Wire # DW04906-1, which is sold by the foot. I have attached a couple short video reviews below that you might also find helpful.
view full answer... - How to Make a 6-Way Round to 4-Way Round Trailer Connector AdapterThere isn't a 6-Way round to 4-Way round adapter that we carry but we have the parts to make one. First, a 6-Way is not very common, make sure it is a 6-Way, like # PK11609, and not a 7-Way blade style like # PK11893. If it is a 6-Way round then to make an adapter you would first need a 6-Way round trailer side connector, # PK11604. Then you would need a 4-Way round vehicle end connector, # PK11410. Then all you would need is about 1 foot of bonded 4-wire, # 16-4B-1. You would just need...

For this you would plug in the 4-Way on the vehicle to the 4-Way on the adapter, ground the white wire to the frame of the vehicle, and tape up the other 2 wires on the adapter if those functions are not needed (if you just needed lighting functions). To make your own you would need a 4-Way trailer end connector, like # HM48110, and wire the blunt cut bare wire ends to the 6-Way...

view full answer... - Converting a European 7-Way on a 1996 Land Rover Discovery to Work with a US 6-WayThere is no adapter to go from a European 7-Way to a US style 6-Way. You will either have to convert the connector on the vehicle or the one on the trailer. It all depends on what works best for you. If you only tow the one trailer then converting the vehicle makes more sense. But if you tow other trailers that need the European 7-Way then converting the trailer makes more sense. To convert the vehicle you will need a vehicle side 6-Way, # PK11609, and you will also need a special converter...
view full answer... - Is There a Reverse Wire on 6-Way ConnectorAs you can see by the accompanying diagram I added, a 6-way such as the Pollak # PK11609 does not have a function for reverse lights; that function is on a 7-way so you would not connect the wire you referenced to your trailer connector. A 6-way has the following functions: 1) Tail/Running Lights 2) Left Turn/Stop 3) Right Turn/Stop 4) Brake Controller Output 5) 12V Power 6) Ground. I have also added a link to a help article on wiring I highly recommend checking out.

- Dimensions of 6-Way PK11609On the 6-way part # PK11609 the section behind the mounting flange where the wires attach is 1-3/8 inches in diameter. The distance between the mounting holes is 2-7/8 inches, overall width of the front is 3-1/4 inches and overall height is 2-1/8 inches.
view full answer... - Replacement 6-Way Connector for 2002 Chevy Silverado 2500If you only want to replace that connection in your truck bed, you can use the Pollak 6-Pole, Round Pin, Trailer Wiring Socket - Vehicle End # PK11609. This is identical to what you currently have. If you need to replace the 7-way at the rear of your 2002 Silverado 2500 you can use the # HM40975. If you would like to have a 7-way instead of a 6-way in your truck bed then you can use the Pollak 5th Wheel / Gooseneck T-Connector # PK11893-11932 to add one and replace what you have in the picture.

If you have an automatic transmission and the vehicle is front wheel drive, you will need to use a tow dolly and I will cover that later. If it is an automatic and all wheel drive it must be towed on a trailer, it cannot be flat towed or carried on a dolly. Now if you a manual transmission you can flat tow it.

Many times the center pin is the one used for the brake controller circuit. I recommend the Pollak 6-Pole, Round Pin Socket, part # PK11609. You will need to cut the 4-way connector off right behind the plug and wire the # PK11609 to match the trailer connector. You will want to run the pin that matches the brake circuit on the...
