Review on Versatile Hopkins 40974 Multi-Tow 7 Blade and 4 Flat Connector: Reliable Connectivity with Varying Packaging Options by Brandon Henry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quality construction, easy installation

I just bought a 2013 Ford F150 with a damaged towbar connector. Many of the wires were broken and corroded, and the harness connector that plugs into the back of the outlet was damaged beyond repair. This kit has a double socket for 4-pin and 7-pin plugs, as well as a mating connector for the vehicle wiring harness. It snaps right into the OEM mount and holds tight. The outlet covers have strong springs that provide a good seal when closed. The connecting wires are thicker than a truck wiring harness and long enough for me to remove a few inches of damaged wire. wires and there are many additional wires. Some wire colors don't match OEM colors, but OEM colors don't match. The instructions that came with it were easy to understand. I just had to match the connector wires to the OEM wires in the same position on the connector. I connected the spliced wires with glued butt connectors that you heat to shrink. The adhesive forms a watertight seal around the wires. I then covered the connectors with adhesive backed heat shrink tubing for added protection. It's been up and running for 2 months now and works great. All in all a great product at a reasonable price. I would definitely buy it again.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Good but not great
