03-12-2024First 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.

Greater than one weekLove this adapter. Amazing adapter for the price. The mount is secure as long as you mount it to a stable place. Its very nice to have a 4 pin and 7 pin adapter all in one place. Installed this on my 2016 Chrysler Town & Country. I used

> 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 dayUsed this to wire up a Tekonsha brake controller, etc to a 2008 Toyota Sienna. Nothing particularly exciting to note here, its exactly as pictured and described. After spending some heavy cash on a kit from a particular online trailer place for my last tow kit, I found it cheaper and less wasteful to order the parts separately.

> 3 dayMounting this to my 2016 Chevy Express van was a piece of cake. Didnt need instructions. Mounted to bottom of bumper left of the hitch. Looks and functions as factory installed. Nice and secure, clean, now maintenance free. Coupled with the Curt 55540 and the and Curt 14090, I have a total of 180 bucks and less than 45 minutes work into this with all 3 items. Was quoted $850-$1,000 from installers/dealers. Ridiculous. Did this myself for over 80% less!

> 3 dayI installed a tow package on my Dodge Grand Caravan and needed the ability to connect a 7 round RV plug to my vehicle when towing my pop-up camper. This Hopkins 47185 Multi-Tow adapter was perfect for me because it allows you to easily have both the 7 round and 4 flat connections easily accessible. Everything necessary for the installation was included, and it took almost no time at all for me to install this device on my vehicle. I have used it multiple times since installing, and it has worked flawlessly. Highly recommend!

> 3 dayThis 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.

29-11-2024It 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..

> 3 dayAfter searching for a 7 pin adapter for my 1999 Tahoe, I purchased this 4 pin flat connector wiring kit with Hopkins 41125 LiteMate Vehicle to Trailer Wiring Kit. It was straight plug and play for my truck. I will note that you need to buy self tapping screws, as they were not included in the hardware.
