Recommended Smallest 7-Way Connector
Question:
Hi, I need to install a 7-way vehicle connector on my 03 jeep wrangler. because of the aftermarket rear bumper, I need a connector that is shallow as possible due to depth clearance for mounting. Any recommendations?

The smallest most low profile 7-Way connector we have is the Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow 4-Way Flat to 7-Way RV Trailer Adapter w/ 4-Way Vehicle End Plug item # HM47180. It measures just 2.9"w x 3.9"d x 6.9"h and weighs less than a 1 lbs.
I have linked a diagram below to show you the dimensions.
The Hopkins Endurance item # HM47180 includes a pre-wired 7- and 4-way trailer connector that mounts easily at the rear of your vehicle with an included bracket. This kit is designed for use on a vehicle with an existing 4-way flat trailer connector and plugs directly into it. If your Jeep doesn't have a 4-way you'll also need the Curt item # C55363.
You will then connect the blue wire to the blue wire on the brake controller, connect the black wire to the positive post on your Jeep's battery, the white wire to ground, and the yellow wire to your vehicle's reverse circuit if applicable. This will provide you with the ability to control your trailer's brakes and also provide you with a 12v power wire for you trailer's accessory lights.
If you already have a 7-way connector and are just looking for a smaller one the Hopkins Endurance 7-Way Trailer Connector Socket item # HM48480 you were looking at will work and its the same size with the bracket.
