> 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.

> 24 hourThe item did not work. I replaced my old one with this new one to get the built in 4 plug connector. Pulled the boat to the water and none of the lights were working. Plugged in the old one and everything works. Something wrong with the internal wiring of the item.

> 24 hourUsed 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.

> 24 hourThis connector is the right one if you all ready have a trailer light connection.You only need to plug in your lights and run your wires for your brakes and 12v for camper . It has the optional wire for backup lights as well .It comes with a good bumper bracket and the necessary bolts , nuts and washers to get the job done . Once installed you have a connector for your boat or utility trailer or a plug for your camper or heavy pull trailer built into the same connection .

> 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 hourEasy 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.

> 24 hourThis adapter gives you a flexible solution to the 4 pin vs.7 pin trailer connection. It has BOTH connectors in one unit and the mount accommodates both of them. I have a small utility trailer that has the 4 pin connection, and a travel trailer that has the 7 pin connector. This make it simple to hook up either trailer.

> 24 hourGreat product well built. Wires are incapsulated in water proof coating to protect corrosion .

> 24 hourThe 4-pin is not an add-on like other adapters. It is part of the adapter assembly. The wiring is accessibly, but firmly potted into the plug. Installed on a Subaru Outback with 4-pin factory hitch wiring. I had to pound the bracket flat and drill holes in braket to install, but it all worked out. It hangs a bit low for me, but I suspect it will be fine. Wiring all checked out fine with tester.
