> 24 hourPerfect fit, works good. But 7 blade cap is flimsy plastic. Doesnt seem like it will last. Also the gauge wire for the battery lead a is the same as the lighting, not as heavy as the electric brake wire. I run a heavy gauge battery wire to the trailer so I can charge not only the break-away battery, but also an on board ( camping, hydraulics or accessory) full size battery. But good price and easy install

> 24 hourThis was never going to be an easy install for us and it wasn’t. The instructions aren’t bad but they are also not awesome. It took about 3 hours to install in a cargo van so I would easily add more time for a passenger vehicle.

> 24 hourI was happy with the results. The bracket was okay but not perfect. The production engineers need to study the bracket install position. it was not low enough for ideal placement. I had to fabricate an extension for the wiring setup to work in front of the hitch receiver. Overall it was okay.

> 24 hourExactly what I was looking for. I can plug in either type pigtail with no adapters required. I replaced my old 7 pin with this dual unit. You need to understand how your vehicle is wired if you have a brake power module. Make sure you unhook the battery during work and map out your wiring before you start. It makes it easier. The instructions provide color codes which are probably 90% correct based on most vehicles, but do not assume so. Get a tester and map the wiring before you start..

> 24 hourThis connector is amazing. I originally bought the Hopkins 7 blade trailer connector from my local tractor supply store. JUST the 7 blade, and it costed me $30. This is the 7 blade and 4 pin for just $14 how can you beat that? Everything is quality. Mounting is very easy and pre-drilling 2 holes is required. The only thing I have to say about this that was kind of workful was the wiring, but I cant take away a star because this thing is universal for many vehicles. I have a 2005 Tacoma and the only wires that color code matched were black, white, and blue. I had to expose the rest of the wires and match them by hooking up to a trailer and testing the blinkers and brakes to the corresponding wires. This was very easy with another person helping, it took me about 5 minutes. Overall I highly, highly recommend this product to anyone in need of a new trailer connector.

> 24 hourI had an old 7 pin connector ao I decided it was time to upgrade and this was great. It comes with butt connectors for auxiliary power and trailer brakes I cut those off and directly soldered them because I plan on keeping it on for years. I also bought a connector that goes in the middle of the brake/turn lights and has the 4 pin so that was really great

> 24 hourI have two of these, one new and the other six years old. The old one still works great. The design does not appear to have changed in that time. After many years of use my only issue with it is the cover for the four pin connector. The cover is made flexible polymer that eventually rots and cracks. You should get at least five years out of the cover with continuous out door exposure. I did not notice another reviews comments that the bracket is included. It should be noted in the ad. I also purchased one from a local store prior to receiving the shipment.

> 24 hourModified it slightly to fit through the old hole drilled in the stock bumper on my 1992 F-350. Works well. My only gripe is that the spring on the 7-pin connector door hinge was not strong enough to really snap the door closed. I ended up pushing the pin out, twisting the spring another turn and putting back in place, and reinserting the pin. (I dont recommend doing this, you might end up damaging the door and hinge.)

> 24 hourWorks just fine, installation was prety straight forward. A couple notes for those diy installers. The inputs to the 7 way are the old 4 way plug and then brake controller, power, ground, and reverse. If you already have a 4 way the power from that line is dead ended so instead of running a new power you can splice the 4 way. Also universal adapter - tow ready 118136 is highly recommended.

> 24 hourGave it 4 stars because the mounting bracket is very thin and flimsy, will probably have to build a more solid bracket in the future.
