The Pollak connector, part PK11893-11932, requires you to pin the truck bed end in the connector. They leave in unpinned in case your trailer is wired in a non-standard fashion. It snaps into the backside of the 7-Way.

The Draw-Tite harness, part # 50-97-410, has a 90 degree 7-way to make fitting it into the open space of the inside of the bed easier. It also has a longer cable, 9 feet, versus the 7-1/2 of the Pollak.

They both serve the same functions and install in a very similar manner, some find the 90 degree fixture easier to install and some need the 9 foot length.
