Hopkins Towing Solutions 20022 Endurance 7 Blade 3' Vehicle Side Jacketed Cable

This is much higher quality than most stock wiring. Great replacement upgrade.

Dealer put my 7 pin receiver under the bumper on my Jeep. Every time I went off roading it would get torn off. I almost had to leave my camping trailer one time.Cored a hole in my Smitybilt steel bumper and inserted this in the hole. Works like a charm. Everyone wonders why this is not a standard configuration for an off-road vehicle.

High quality at a low price. Exactly what I needed and is definitely an improvement over the OEM style.

I bought thinking this was a sealed unit, it is not it has a boot that slides over the wire and receptacle, does not completely seal. It does what it is supposed to and have had zero problems with it.

This plug is heavy duty nice heavy wire.

This is the 3rd wire harness that has been installed on my F350. The factory one was long gone before I got the truck. Last summer I lost my lights and after HOURS of trouble shooting I narrowed it down to something in the wire harness. I ordered this one as it should have fit as a replacement. It didn't. I had to drill the bumper for the 3rd time to install. The body is a little wider than a standard harness and during install both tabs got torn off (they are ULTRA cheap garbage!) No big deal as I don't see what they were holding together anyway. The rubber boot at the back of the harness does slip off too easily, but I will ziptie it into place. The wire gauge is good, and after testing the connections all seems good. I took 1 more star off as there was no included mounting hardware. If this holds up I will be thrilled, and for the premium price paid it better.

replacement for factory

Replaced factory 7-pin socket on a 2011 Mercedes ML350 with this one, as I wanted to upgrade the charge and ground wire size to send more power to the trailer.The ML350 has a slightly awkward arrangement where the socket points down to the pavement at a pretty good angle - however, the factory socket held on to the trailer's cord without issue. The Hopkins socket loosens up and we lose electrical connection to the trailer (no lights, no trailer brakes) after just several minutes of driving.You can see in the photo what we had to do to get to our destination with connection intact.We've been unable to get this product to work satisfactorily in this regard. I will replace it with a Curt socket.
