Hopkins Multi-Tow Trailer Connector Installation - 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500- Video
Hi there Chevrolet owners. Today in your 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install Hopkins Multi-Tow 7-Way Blade and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector. And this is what our replacement connector's going to look like when it's installed. It replaces your factory connector or dummy plug that may be present and provide you with a 7-pole connector on top and a 4-pole connector on bottom, which really opens up your vehicle to being able to tow just about any type of trailer. You've got your 7-Way for your larger trailers that may have brakes, and you've got your 4-Way for your smaller trailers that just need lighting. I also like that the doors are spring loaded that snap shut, and there are rubber gaskets found on the inside of each one to keep out any dirt, debris and moisture to ensure long lasting connection and operation of both the 4- and 7-Way.And what I like even more is that on the front of our covers here, we have a diagram with a pin out of each circuit in our connector. more

Adam: What's going on, everybody Adam here with etrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Hopkins OEM replacement four and seven pole trailer wiring. If you guys have a Silverado and it comes with something like this, which goes to nothing, this isn't really going to do much for you. If you guys go on our website, grab the Hopkins and it's going to allow us to hook up not only just seven poles, but also four pole wiring for whatever kind of trailers you guys may have. It is going to be pretty much an OEM replacement. It looks a little bit different just because it has a couple spring doors, but other than that, it's going to fit in just like the OEM part that we removed here. more
