Ok the product on the harnesses

The product was almost as described. I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 for two reasons. Firstly, no bracket was included so I attached it to the bumper until I found one. This works both ways. Now looking at the pictures and the description it doesn't say the bracket is included but I don't know why they don't add it by default. I'd be happy to pay 38 cents for it. The second problem is that I no longer have turn signals on my trailer. The four-sided braid has them, but not this seven-sided…

Pros
  • is shiny
Cons
  • There are problems

Good, not suitable for lighting and electrical applications

This is an easy way to prepare a 7 pin connector for the F-150. Comes with everything to have a 4 and 7 pin plug. But the included 7-pin connector is of poor quality. It will not fit most mounts (especially those that accept both 7-pin and 4-pin wiring). I also had connection problems. From time to time one of the pins on my trailer plug comes out of the socket. Actually not a very good 7-pin connector. Works but poor quality. I ended up buying a new 7-pin socket (Hopkins) and hooking it up to…

Pros
  • Special offer
Cons
  • Difficult to tell

Great product, had issues with some other things I had to use.

My car: 2000 F-150. Standard cab, 8ft bed, factory 4 pin plug. Never towed but my factory 4 pin connector is corroded from time and so completely. And switching to a 7-pin connector seemed like a good way to go. (Although my mission is to pull a U trailer that only takes 4 pins.) And it seemed like a MUCH better solution to upgrade. The instructions (which I read on the ReeseProd website BEFORE I ordered) were very clear and simple. I had to fit some components that Ford had left out of my…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
