Too Complicated and Unreliable

Based on my observations, this wiring product is too complicated for an average automotive user. The instructions were confusing and it took me a long time to install. The worst part is that it stopped working after just one use. The pro is that it does come with a neat storage container. However, the cons far outweigh the pros in this case. I do not recommend this product to anyone who wants a reliable and user-friendly towing solution.

Pros
  • Easy to install and use
Cons
  • Requires basic wiring knowledge to use

Wrong cable included

They include an 18 gauge cable to connect the 12 volt terminal to the battery. You have a 15 amp fuse, the wire melts B4, the fuse blows. I used 14 gauge wire for security. The instructions state that it is not necessary to pull out the rear cover glasses.

Pros
  • Tow hitches and winches
Cons
  • Small parts

Save money, contact UHaul

This is expensive and a lot more complicated than it needs to be. Advertised as a simple solution but would like you to drill into the ground and run all power to the battery. I never had to do this when adding it to my Tacoma, Dakota, or Jeep. It turns out Colorado has already provided this for owners. Simply connect the wires back to back to UHaul part number HMF47214 and then to part number 30966. Almost half the cost and only half the work. No cords to tuck away and hang. There is no fuse…

Pros
  • Wiring
Cons
  • Upgradeable
