Greater than one weekThis 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.

> 3 dayBracket 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.

> 3 dayPretty easy setup and a quality product. Only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the cover for the 4-pin will work itself loose and hang open. Maybe its just the one I got but thats a bit aggravating.

> 3 dayUsed it to add a 7 pin connection to 2008 Ford Expedition that came w/ the 4 pin connection. Mine had electric brake pre-wired, but no power line (black). I was able to make holes on the 4 pin connector holder and attach this adapter using nut/bolt. The wires behind the 7 pin connection touch the spare tire a bit, but I was able to install everything w/o much trouble. Looks professional, and so far no issues connecting/hauling a travel trailer.

> 3 dayPretty good quality! It is great for the typical install, where you tow every-so-often... For professional use (plugging and unplugging daily) it would work okay for a decent amount of time but I worry that eventually the 4 screws holding the socket to the metal bracket would begin loosening, the plastic the socket is molded from is good not great. I like the layout of the receptacles. The metal bracket could stand to be a tad thicker, but it is good enough. The wires are generously sized, and I like the look of it on the vehicle. Would definitely recommend.

> 3 dayThe ground pin on the 4-wire plug broke off even though its never been used. I installed this on my Ford van without too much trouble. I was able to get an adapter to plug right into the vans OEM trailer wire harness at the back of the van and plug the other end into the back of this adapter. I have to run the brake, 12V accessory and reverse light wires separately only because my van doesnt have those wires built into the tow package harness. The real downside to this adapter is the cheap manner in which it was made. The actual wiring side is fine. The plug itself is the issue. Its just really cheap and fimsy. The 4-wire connector broke off just by me removing the plastic cap a few times to test the wiring.

> 3 dayWhat arrived was exactly what I ordered. There is quite a price range on similar product and I went to the center as this is for my 1999 Dodge Durango that I use only to launch my boat. What I got was impressive for the price. Everything for a complete install was included (bracket, unit, wiring, screws, etc.) and the quality is good. I wasnt expecting the leads to be sealed (wax like substance to fight water/corrosion) and this is a bonus for guys like me (again, the Dodge stays at the lake snapped to the boat and is used to launch/retrieve the boat). Also, the leads at the other end (where the wiring connects to the tow vehicle) came pre-assembled with butt connectors already attached. Not only do you not have to supply the connectors to install (I know, not a huge expense but just to call it out), but what a snap to connect to your vehicle. Just put your tow vehicle wires in and crimp. Nice! The wiring is a quality grade and the bracket is sturdy. If you are price shopping and you choose this one, expect to get more than you paid for relatively speaking.
