ITEM INCLUDES MOUNTING BRACKET.

Mounting bracket included. I purchased the mount separately because the description does not mention the mount and Revain recommended the mount in the "frequently purchased together" box below. Despite the inaccurate description, the wiring harness fits my 2006 Toyota Tundra perfectly.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

It took us most of the day to figure out what it was.

This item is NOT a basic wiring harness for a 2003 Sequoia Toyota as listed on the website. It is COMPLETELY backwired for Toyota. We hooked it up to his Dodge Ram and it worked great, but strange things started happening when it hooked up to the Sequoia. It took us almost a day to figure out which wires were swapped and fix how to get it to work. My husband had to split the wires and rewire the part to make it work for Toyota.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Fits

OEM Direct Replacement for First Generation Tundra

Replaced a damaged 7 pin OEM connector on my 2003 Toyota Tundra. The 2 connector plugs matched the factory connectors exactly so plug and play, bonus points for the built in 4 pin connector so I no longer have to use a 7 pin to 4 pin adapter. The only small issue I had was having to enlarge the mounting holes a bit, but it was an easy job. Total installation time was less than 10 minutes (5 minutes of that time was spent wiping dirt out of my eye because I was an idiot and decided to crawlโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Volume

Connected directly to my 2005 OEM Tundra suspension.

All connected well to my 2005 Tundra Access Cab but I haven't tested it yet. It's just plug/play as described, so everything should work the same as the OEM plug. The quality of these connectors/wiring was excellent. However, my package did not appear to be open, but my mounting plate and screws were missing. I asked for $4 and got it back to cover the cost of my mounting plate if bought locally and I already had all the screws needed for the install so everything is fine. The Revain service is

Disappointed - Tow and Winch Products

I ordered this product 10 months ago. It matched my 2006 Tundra as expected. It worked great on my first two trains with a trailer. On the third trip, the right rear light/indicator circuit failed. I made sure it wasn't the trailer wiring. I bought a tester that connects to Hopkins which confirms the circuit doesn't work. Disconnected, cleaned and reconnected to the factory wiring harness and still no right tail light/turn signals. Apparently a break in one of the wires in the Hopkins wiringโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Ideal for small homes
Cons
  • Upgradable

fell apart in four months

I liked that this fits in my Toyota Tundra. Unfortunately, when I attached my boat trailer, the running lights stayed on the whole time. One evening I left the boat hooked up for an early morning departure and found my truck's battery dead. I used a 4 pin combo connector on my boat trailer. I hooked up another trailer to it today and it didn't work at all and when I took it apart the plugs came loose from the socket in my truck. Yes I put the boat in salt water every week but I wash it everyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Useless features

Please make sure the plugs are 100% match before purchasing.

I bought a Hopkins 43385 connector because it was supposed to be plug n play for Toyota 4runners. I have a 2004 Toyota 4runner V8 Limited. It might be for other disguises or maybe other 4th gen 4runners, but not for me. The forks are similar. The 4 wire plug is compatible, female and male, and could be plugged in, but the wiring was different. The 3 wire connector is the same as the one on the side of the car, female to female, and the wiring was different. I had to cut and resolder the leadsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Exchange available

Check factory wiring

Mainly product well made; However, it will NOT fit the 2007 Toyota Tundra Crewmax with the factory tow package. Don't get me wrong, it will fit ALMOST, but do yourself a favor and check the factory connections behind the bumper. There are 2 connectors: I have one 5-pin (TLRT, TLLT, STOP, BK and ground) and the other 2-pin (power and brake). This product has 4 pins and three pins. I had to break the factory connectors and connect a new one to it. A bit annoying as the three pins on the largeโ€ฆ

  • Very good value for money
