Comparing Reese and Hopkins 7-Way to 5-Way Adapters
Question:
Which is better the Hopkins 47675 or the Reese 78118? I have a 2017 Toyota Tundra and I want to use it to pull primarily a boat trailer with a 5 pin connector. The Tundra has a 7 pole receptacle and a 4 pin receptacle.

Expert Reply:
I'd recommend the Reese # 78118 7-way to 5-way adapter over the Hopkins part # HM47675 that you also mentioned because the Reese comes with a circuit tester which for most people would be more useful than what the Hopkins has instead which is a 12 volt power circuit. There are quite a bit more situations where people are in need of a circuit tester than a 12 volt power supply so I believe it would be much more useful to you.
I attached a review video for the Reese for you to check out as well.
