Perfect fit for the 2019 Tacoma OEM opening.

Perfect for 2019 Tacoma (and probably all Tacoma Gen3) OEM bumper holes and OEM looks. There appears to be a connector that fits into the back of this connector when connected to your car's wiring, but I was unable to locate the specific part on the manufacturer's website. I ended up soldering a custom pigtail to the terminals on the back of this connector and flooding the socket with hot melt adhesive to act as a seal and strain relief. Whether it's an OEM product or not is hard to tell from…

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Looks great no mount

This product does not come with a mount so I have not used it. I ended up using the CURT 55774 dual outlet harness because it comes with a bracket. This product is better to use for the 7-blade trolling plug that has no 4-blade plug. It fits 7 blades and offers the convenience of using 7 or 4 blades. The problem is that many of these tow straps already have 4 spade connectors, or you can use a 7 to 4 adapter. If you switch between them frequently, then this is a good product for you. It just…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Compatibility

Easy Installation Best in Outdoor Accessories

I installed this connector this morning and it couldn't be easier. To make it easier to disconnect the electrical connector on the 7-pin connector, I removed the bracket from my pickup. Disconnect the electrical connector from the old 7-pin connector. Check the pickup's electrical connection to make sure the connection is not corroded. I put some dialect grease around the rubber grommet on the electrical connector, then connected it to the 7 pin connector, making sure it clicked into place and…

Exact adaptation to the factory wiring harness!

Exact replica of the trailer wire connector on my Chevy truck and an ultra easy replacement in less than 2 minutes! The 4 prong connector on my truck which I bought as a second owner was damaged so I used a 7 pin bullet connector adapter to get the 4 pin connectors I needed but was wondering how much it would cost to replace the original plug at the dealer, so I don't need an adapter. I searched and found this guy on Amazon and I'm so glad I bought it. During installation I had to get under the

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • -

. This is a perfect fit for my 2021 Chevy Silverado WT! Below the description it says the product doesn't fit, it fits and is perfect. It took longer to find a lantern to install. Using a small flathead screwdriver or what I used a small nail polish tool, remove the existing cover from the truck, remove the female round wire socket from the cover, insert into the new component, insert the component into the bumper, done. I pressed and held the trailer button while the truck was on and had…

Pros
  • Excellent Construction
Cons
  • Volume

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…

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