    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.

    This 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.

    Well made product, comes with a mounting bracket, which is not noted in the description. Wiring is easy, follows the standard 7 pin wire colors. The material is a hard plastic, instead of a rubberized plastic, which may be more prone to breaking in colder temperatures. Convenient 4 pin connector and 7 pin connector in one is a bonus. I would recommend this product to a friend.

    Yep this is a good product. Go ahead and save yourself the headache and buy a brake controller right now. I should have purchased the 79.99 brake controller when I ordered this connector and in the pinch of the moment I then had to buy the exact same brake controller for 126.xx in a store to get the job done. Save yourself that 46 dollars and order a brake controller, in that regard, I would recommend a brake controller that has the custom pinch feature to truly control the trailer. The rig that I just set-up was a 2004 f250 v10 and the trailer Im preparing is a large 27 foot puma camper with bunks. This was a good 7 pin connector, plenty of wire and very easy to install in your factory spot. Sturdy aswell, NOT chinsy.

    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.

    Installed very easily onto my existing 4-pole connector on my 1997 GMC pickup. Found a good lip under the bumper to bolt my bracket to, and made my own ground on the frame for the ground wire. Havent actually hooked it up yet, but a multi-meter shows 12V power in the correct spots when various vehicle functions occur: blinker, tails, brakes, etc.

    The product is as described, easy to install and does the job. The mounting bracket it comes with is garbage and its surprising someone thought it would be acceptable to ship the product with it.

    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..

    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.

    I replaced a broken 7-pin connector with this part. I didnt need the male 4-pin connector, just clipped it off and spliced all 7 wires to the truck harness. The 4-pin and 7-pin portions are connected inside the molded plastic housing. A great way to add a 4-pin hookup for a boat or light trailer if youre starting out with just the 7-pin (the 7 to 4 adapters cost more than this part does.)
