Hopkins 11156000 Easy-to-Install Plug-In Towed Vehicle Wiring Kit Review

Plug and play. Pull the safety wire backwards from the front left frame. Tie the flat wire to the fishing wire and pull it towards the front of the truck.

Had to replace 4 spade terminals with 6 bullet terminals but other than that it's easier to make push fit connections than cut and splice.

Kit performs the functions described by Hopkins. Hopkins customer service was great when I asked questions about a product. The length of the wiring harness between the taillights may be slightly longer for ease of installation and maintenance of the taillight assembly. An important feature for me is that it can be connected to the vehicle's wiring harness without cutting/splicing the original wiring. I recommend this kit for Ford Escape.

Works great in my 2013 F-150 Super Crew for towing behind our RV. I wish I had installed this initially, but the price has always put me off. It's quite expensive for what it is and the moldings are fairly cheap and not OEM quality as one would expect for the price. But he does his job and works.

This plug and play wiring kit is the simplest, hassle-free solution for installing toad/dinghy wiring for RV towing. No changes to the standard wiring, in contrast to the diode kit solutions. No need to drill and remake headlights like individual bulb and socket kits. Not as expensive as some kits like MOPAR for Jeeps. This kit is similar to the Tow Daddy that Hopkins bought. In a word, a great product.

Good quality wire. Connectors, on the other hand, are cheap. They also have a connector at the end of the post where it connects to the trailer when it should be a 'female' connector. So in the end when I finished connecting all this it didn't work and I sent the goods back. This product is a waste of my time and money. I spent 6 hours installing, troubleshooting and uninstalling the product.

Fits easily on my 2012 F150. Remove the taillight assembly. Disconnect the electrical plugs and plug in the supplied plugs, replace the taillights and route the four-wire cable and plug to the front of the vehicle. Connect the cable from the tractor to the four-wire connector and you're done. The hardest part was running the four-wire cable under the truck, and it took about thirty minutes. I was very pleased with the ease of installation and operation of the lamps.
