Installation
This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver side rear bumper. After plugging in the connector, route the 7-way end of the harness along the inside of your bumper toward the center of your vehicle.
Once installation is complete, the 7-way connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. If necessary, secure the harness with the provided cable ties.
It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plug on your automobile and the 7-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.

It fits like a glove. Plug and play 35 minutes tops with everything. The only bad thing the zip ties were short. But I'm satisfy with the product and I would recommend it.
It worked as described. It arrived very fast. I had it installed in about an hour. My 2021 Ford Ranger is HAPPY.
My installer was very happy I bought the wiring harness from only had good things to say about it. Works great and easy to connect to rental trailers and my trailers.
I found it very easy to install, however it did have a lot of extra wire to role up. I did order the HM40975 connecter and installed in the factory postion on the back bumper. the only problem is that my 2020 RANGER came with a 4 pin connecter, but not the factory tow package.So it is missing 3 wires in the wire harness in the truck and only the 4 pins work. I will have to add the other 3 wires myself some time, as I want to get a camper that needs all 7 pins to work.
Harness looks like a factory install. Very good instructions.
I remember when things weren't plug and play. Those days sucked, lol. Super easy install. Unplug the factory harness, plug in this jumper harness between. On my 2019 Ranger there is a factory cut out in the bumper for a 7-way. So, I used a 1.5" hole saw to make an opening in the plastic bumper cover to flush mount the plug and give it a factory look. Gave it four stars because I'm a stickler for good directions and these didn't specify what the white wire with the ring terminal end is or where to attach it. I know what it is, but what if I didn't?
This works well and was a fairly easy install. What's excellent is the eTrailer Customer Support. My first one started throwing errors (when breaking, accelerating, etc) with no trailer hooked up. The eTrailer folks had me try a couple of troubleshooting steps, then shipped me a replacement right away (it was about two weeks from warranty expiring!). This was the 4th vehicle I've outfitted with hitches, wiring, etc from eTrailer. Always great service. Won't shop anywhere else.
Fast delivery
Easy to use and super easy to install. Not many options for the Rangers, but, this worked exactly as needed. Didn’t need a bracket, I used the stock location in the rear bumper. I drilled it out, drilled the factory bumper back plate and ran 2x 1/4-20 machine screws through it.
Paid extra for fast shipping and took as long as the free shipping
Put this kit on my 2020 Lariat ranger. Only complaint was the supplied self taping screw broke off when trying to install and the zip ties was to short. Everything else was very simple easy install. I wanted a factory look so I ordered the Hopkins 7way/4way plug separately.
The quality of the product was good but service was etrailer customer service was horrible. I ordered a hitch and a wiring kit with free shipping. They shipped the hitch, but not the wiring harness as it was out of stock, although when ordering it confirmed that it was in available. There was an alternative for a few dollars more. I had to purchase the comparable item on a separate invoice and pay shipping on it. Contacted the company with no response back. They should have contacted me before shipping and offered the alternative item, or shipped the other item with free shipping. Again, happy with the product, but not the customer service.
The connector worked great for my truck.
Worked perfectly. My 7pin socket was in very close proximity, so I coiled a pile of wire up. I installed a bumper mounted socket, Ford Part # FU5Z-14489-A versus using the supplied scoket, and the wiring plugged right in. Nice product. I installed my trailer brake controller and this finished it out.
Easy to attach, instructions plane and simple. Item works great no problems.

Its working good
The Curt T-connector surpassed my expectations on ease of installation for the plug. The socket part however was a little more time consuming because I decided to mount it in the factory cut out position in the upper bumper instead of utilizing a separately purchased bottom bracket under the bumper..still relatively easy.
Excellent all around. Thanks
For a vehicle specific harness, it’s way longer than it needs to be. There is an unterminated ground wire that’s like, why? Why not terminate that wire against weather? Also, no instructions as to even why it’s there or what to do with it. I hope I’m right in deducing it needed to go to chassis ground, that’s what the wiring diagram I found online indicated. At least the connectors are correct.
This item was just what I needed I had the Sleeve from Ford but no cable or plugs to install under the truck bumper and this fit right into the factory wiring for my New 2020 Ford Ranger. If you don't have a 7 way trailer plug this kit will fit! Thanks!!
Worked perfectly. plenty long enough to putvconnector where i needed it
This is one of many orders I have placed with etrailer.com. I purchased this for my Ford Ranger. Perfect fit the first try. If you need trailering items for your truck, boat, Jeep, or motorhome this is the place to shop.
This would get 5 stars if it came with the OEM 7/4 way connector. All Rangers have a place on the number to install that type of plug, but this comes with an oddball that needs an extra bracket to mount to the hitch. I bought the right plug and now have one I don’t need. Otherwise it’s easy t9 install and works just as it should.
Easy to install! I bought a Ford Motocraft OEM 7pin & regular connector that was Oval shaped to fit the punch out in my bumper. Worked great and was a seamless install!
Very simple installation. Works perfectly. Thanks etrailer again for great information
