Hopkins Towing Solutions 47185 Multi-Tow 4 Flat to 7 Blade and 4 Flat Adapter

The hardest part is found the wiring diagram for LR3 but it work, just follow booth diagrams and its gonna take around 25 min.

First of all, THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS A MOUNTING BRACKET! For the first time ever, I didnt read reviews here before purchasing and bought a separate mounting bracket which Amazon lists as frequently purchased together. On the flip side though, I doubled up the brackets to make them a bit more sturdy. The bracket will bend backwards from the force of pushing the 7 pin plug in otherwise. The adapter itself is made of a thick plastic so corrosion shouldnt be an issue. Both covers work well and should keep out the elements though dielectric grease should be used as well. The wires are heavy (enough) gauge and have good jackets to them and the included crimp connectors are a nice bonus, though I always recommend soldering them. My only complaint is the cheap screws that come with it. Everything needed to mount it is included but its very soft steel and strips with little effort. Do yourself a favor and pick up some nice stainless screws at least for where it mounts to the vehicle.

Easy install and a quality product. The Dual connection option is a useful addition to my trailer towing ability. No need to have adapters floating around to lose or search for when a flat 4 wire plug is required. The plug was easy to install with the purchase of a wiring adapter needed for your particular vehicle. You MUST make a separate ground connection for this plug to work it does not piggyback the ground from the flat plug ground. Other than the additional ground the connection is easy and straight forward. Did not use the mounting bracket it was kind of light in strength I drilled a mounting hole in my bumper near the License plate to mount the plug. Better placement and protected from road hazards in this location. It is also illuminated at night by the License Plate Lights which makes for easier vision in the dark. ******************************************************************************************************* Used it to tow my boat and trailer (5000 lbs.)with disc surge brakes and reverse lock out relay from Cape Cod MA to SW Florida (1700 miles) and did not have a single problem it worked flawlessly.

It great looks good and the plug seems to be hermetically sealed on the backside to prevent any moisture or water to get into the plug great product. the only thing that IO didnt like was the bracket that it comes with. Seamed flimsy to me and I didnt have any good place to mount it. So I just=cut a hole in my bumper and mounted the plug Looks great and mounted solid..

This product does not fit the Curt #58140 7 pole trailer plug. The blades on this Hopkins adapter are too wide. Theyre wider than the blades on my 7 pole Chrysler wiring harness on my Dodge Magnum. Guessing this is a little gotcha thing where you need to have Hopkins adapters on both sides, car and trailer. The Curt #58140 7 pole trailer plug fits my Dodge Magnum with factory Chryslter 7 pole wiring kit fine. Update: After tweaking the blades with a screw driver and also tweaking the slots with a box opener the two pieces now fit together. Seems to me this is a quality consistency issue with the Hopkins harness as two of the blades were apparently too close together.

Worked great for over a year until the round cover broke off. There arent a lot of choices with the 7 and 4 prong plug ins. I bought it again. Will be very careful. I have a different brand one on my pickup. Its 25 years old. Hasnt broken. They dont make things to last anymore.

I added this to an old Ford Explorer that only had a factory flat-4 trailer wiring harness. Now I have the option of towing a trailer with the RV style 7-pin or an old school flat-4 plug in it. The flat-4 portion plugs directly into the existing flat-4 wiring on the vehicle so you dont have to cut anything off of the vehicle. The only thing you have to wire in is 12V auxiliary power and back-up lights, but only if you need them. Since my trailer does not use either of those options I just taped those wires up and left them there in case I want to wire them in later. It also comes with a mounting bracket and screws so mounting it is a piece of cake. I only had to drill two holes to mount the bracket. I would definitely buy again.

Ford couldn’t get a factory controller to work with my 2017 Expedition with tow prep package. I bought this and Hopkins brake controller with quick connect plug to my factory brake controller wire. Had everything installed and working out n 15 minutes. Plug the 4 way flat to 4 way flat tap ground to frame and splice brake wire together and 12v constant if you have to charge camper battery. Mount adapter. DONE

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

Bracket is thin and flimsy. It flexes too easily once its installed. You have to hold the back of the bracket when pushing a plug into the receptacle, or it would easily be bent completely over. Otherwise happy with the purchase.
