works without problems

Worked fine for my application. My round tube hitch had to be modified (on pre-marked grooves). The modification was simple and was done with a fresh-bladed utility knife (careful not to cut yourself). I would recommend it to others.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • I doubt it

Suitable for towing products and winches

I was in a pinch to get a bracket for my Honda Odyssey. Looks good and strong. I'm stupid and had a little problem putting on the big ring. After removing all the wires and blocking the ring it ran like a champ with numerous connects and disconnects.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Boring packaging

7 pin connector holder

Fits well no problems. The product instructions say to cut the V shape to fit the round coupling tube. I left it like that, it works perfectly. Trimming that thick plastic is probably going to look like crap if you can't get it perfectly round and centered.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Very expensive

Fits my hitch perfectly

Fits my hitch perfectly. (round) That's the only reason I got four stars. The zippers that come with it work. The entire assembly moves. No big deal. I slide it back when I need to hook up my trailer. Some metal hose clamps may work better. I just couldn't test it. Otherwise great product

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

Easy Installation - Tow Products and Winches

Trying to install as cleanly as possible. I originally bought a mount that connected to the hitch receiver. Then I realized that the installers who hooked up my 7-way connector didn't leave enough slack to get to the hitch receiver. I didn't want the mounting plates sticking out and the wires dangling and catching on something. I came across this cover bracket that can be cut to fit a round hitch. There is a cutout in the plastic. First I circled it with a marker to make it easier to see. The…

Pros
  • Hands Free Operation
Cons
  • Negative Impression

Better than a bumper cover bracket, like most brackets

I got this junction box because the people who installed my hitch made the connections closer to the end of the hitch, which is what it is makes accessing the stylus difficult and I was also concerned that it might be damaged if dropped deeply. The attachment of the box to the support of the hitch frame is perfect. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because a round pipe coupling requires too much cutting. Tow Ready makes one for squares, which I've used in the past, but it looks…

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • No instructions

Fits any 7-pin receiver (regardless of brand). To avoid cutting or drilling the plastic rear bumper fascia or loosely attaching the 7-pin connector to the bumper edge or rear fascia, we use part no. is attached to the metal tube of the 2-inch mount (hitch) with a clamp and can be adapted for round or square tubes. Nice design but it's very thin ABS plastic for the screws to sink into so I screwed my 7 pin in but then there's such a small gap it was almost impossible to get a tool in to tighten…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Not trendy

Great product but I would like a special round tube version.

That's a nice detail. Works fine for my application, but not quite perfect. The manufacturer tried to create a "universal" part that would fit square or round tube receivers. While it's not entirely suitable for round tubes, it's an acceptable approach given the many different tube sizes, but it's worth reducing the star. I cut mine to fit my pipe, but it just doesn't fit flush on either side - it's either/or, not both. If one side touches, the other doesn't." I just got the front flush and…

Pros
  • Generates trust
Cons
  • I don't like it that much, everything is fine
