Installation was very straight forward.
I
used some left over pieces of foam pipe insulation over the cable where it passed over the truck frame and th inner wheel well. I mounted the extended Seven Pin connector just forward of the wheel well just below the bed rail on the driver's side.
The umbilical from our 5th wheel reaches with enough slack to lay on the truck bed.
We picked up our Escape 5.0TA two weeks ago and drove about 3300 miles from WA to MI.
The plug was easy to plug in and unplug.
Overall a very nice product.

@Ronald That's awesome! Thanks for the feedback!


by:

Worked great, I traded the vehicle that I installed the wiring adapter in tho. So it may be of use to someone else also.



by:

Initially worked great, but now it keeps losing connection to the camper. I had to plug the camper in to the 7 way on the bumper to get home. Everything would seem fine but then getting on the highway I'd get a warning message on the dash and lose lights/trailer brakes. Not something you want happening at 70mph.

Truly happy with this product and can't wait to go to work! etrailer sent me everything I requested and the installer had no problems. Everything was packed well in shipping with no problems.



by:

Product arrived overnight and I installed it upon arrival in order to be able to leave on a planned trip. Install was quick and easy and product was as advertised. I appreciated etrailer getting the order out immediately to me. Top rate company.

This product makes it so simple to add a Fifth wheel plug into the bed. Installation takes maybe 20-30 minutes. I installed mine on the column at the tailgate so it is out of the way (less likely to get damaged by other cargo). The only issue I experienced with install was that due to the small opening in that column (from under the vehicle), I had to remove the gray wire cover and then reinstall it after feeding the wire harness up into the column. (This was minor) Would definitely recommend this as it is simply "plug n play" with no cutting of wires or crimping needed.

Very pleased with etrailer.com. All product information and reviews help make decision very easy. Very quick delivery and installation instructions are very easy to follow. Purchased 5th wheel hitch and custom wiring extension for my 2014 F250.

Thanks for the follow up. I’ve enjoyed the products ease of installation and use. I easily hook up my 5th wheel camper by myself and have had no issues. Great products!



by:

Delivery was ahead of schedule. The product is top grade. I installed it myself which took all 45 minutes. Tested it on the trailer and everything worked perfectly.



by:

Plug and play. Works great.

The products have worked flawlessly no problems and thank you for checking back with me its nice when a company cares about there costumers. Next time I need any trailer products I will definitely be contacting etrailer.



by:

The trailer wiring extension worked perfectly for my 2013 2500HD setup. It was easy to install and makes hooking up and trailering that much easier.



by:

Nice long wiring harness.



by:

Awesome product fit the truck just like it should and very easy to install keeps me from scratching the tailgate with a wire over the back of the truck easy to reach when hooking up trailer

Easy install and a great product. Used on 5th wheel rv trailer. No more wiring cord from trailer hanging over the end gate. Thanks!



by:

Went on in minutes



by:

Looks like an easy install good quality



by:

Customer service for product selection and order entry were excellent and focused on my interests and needs. The hitch, custom installation kit, and harness were shipped very quickly and arrived sooner than expected. Everything arrived in excellent condition. Assembly and installation instructions were very clear and specific, and I was able to assemble and install everything with no problems and in a very reasonable amount of time. Total cost was roughly half of what it would have been if I had purchased the products and had them installed by a dealer. I am very satisfied with my experience dealing with etrailer.com, and would highly recommend them to anyone shopping for towing products.

This is an easy install and seems well made. I probably didn’t need the 10’ long my truck called for but no problem zip tying up out of the way. Well pleased.



by:
2006 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty

I'm a huge fan of completing wiring projects with no "hacking" into harnesses. This harness is plug and play. When I finished installing it, the underside of the truck looks like it came from the factory. Job done

I havent thought about it for a year. I can give no higher praise for a product.it does its job very well.



by:

It worked exactly as it should. I did mess up on the hole location. I put it to hight and didn't allow for the depth. I had to make a 1/4" spacer to fill the gap.. my mistake.



by:
2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty

I haven't installed it yet, however, I cut the inside bed wall in preparation for a spray-in bed liner before installing.
It looks just like the picture and description, arrived undamaged and ready for install. Great installation instructions!

Still using and I really like the hitch and other items I purchased a year ago. After installing the Curt fifth wheel hitch, Ive used it several times and I will be using it a bunch over rbe next several weeks. Easy to maintain and use.



by:

It was exactly what I was looking for, perfect length this saved a lot of time.



by:

Worked perfect. Unfortunately 1 yr later at the bumper location (where the splitter is installed) I don't have reverse lights on my trailer. They still work from the new mount in the box, just not from the bumper location. It's possible it never worked from the beginning, as I didn't have a trailer with reverse light at the time, but I do now and they don't work... I understand I'm just outside of the 1yr warranty period too. My fault for not checking right away.



by:

This wiring harness made adding a plug in the bed of the truck for the gooseneck trailer a breeze. I didn’t really need the 10’ harness but I just looped and zip tied the excess. One year later and the plug still works great.

  • Best Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500
    The fifth wheel hitch I most often recommend is the Companion by B&W, because of how well constructed, durable and easy to use it is. The Companion uses an extremely strong 1 inch thick hitch jaw that tightly holds the fifth wheel king pin. This provides for a great ride, unlike some of the entry level hitches where the king pin can rattle around in the hitch, transferring each one of those bangs and crashes to the tow vehicle. The actual hitch you need will depend on whether your hitch...

  • Recommended Underbed Gooseneck Hitch for a 2013 Ram 2500 Diesel
    Since your 2013 Ram 2500 has a diesel engine you will want the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch item # BWGNRK1313. This kit is made specifically for the Ram 2500's with diesel engines and fits both the 6-1/2' bed and 8' beds. It has a 30,000 lbs capacity The hitch ball of the B&W gooseneck hitch has a square shank that fits directly in the base and is secured with a steel locking pin. This square base, along with the powder-coated steel construction of the hitch, is why...

    Yes, the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails with Installation Kit item # C16200 will fit your 2004 F-150 Crew Cab. This is a universal kit so it will fit most trucks you just have to drill holes in the frame. A way better option would be to use the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails item # BWRVK2404. This kit is custom fit and mounts in pre existing holes in your F-150's frame. This kit fits all of the bed lengths of the 2008 F-150. It will provide you with a set of industry...

It has a 30,000 lbs capacity. The Ram Adapter item # KPG5-R30IP replaces the inner tube only and can be bolted on to your Big Tex 25GN's existing outer tube.

    The Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # C16115 will work great with the Lippert Turning Point pin box. It has a 16,000 lbs capacity which will work great with your Reflection 269RD 5th wheel trailer. A rotating pin box is the best option for your short bed 2014 F-150 because a slider will not give you enough clearance to turn and back into tight spaces with a 5-1/2' bed.

You have two options to get more clearance when turning or backing in with your 2018 Ram 3500 with a 6-1/2' bed and I have listed them below: The first option, and the one I highly recommend if you don't already have a Reese Goosebox, is to not change out the king pin on your 2021 Alliance Paradigm 340RL and use a...

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation For 2016 Chevrolet Silverado With Factory Tow Package
    Based on the dimensions of your truck and the trailer you can probably execute about 50 degree turns with a stationary fifth wheel hitch. That can be tough and can cause a lot of issues if a shorter turn is required. My recommendation is to replace the pin box on your trailer with a Sidewinder. The pin box on the trailer should have a plate or sticker, identifying the model. I have attached a link to our product page for the Sidewinders we offer. You can use the filter on the page to select...

You may have clearance issues with such a short bed, however, so I highly recommend adding an offset ball, the 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches # BWGNXA4085.

Out of all of our towing products my recommendations all include part from B&W because they make some of the best towing equipment on the market (made in the USA!) which is backed by a lifetime warranty. If you will be bumper pull towing then I recommend the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount which comes to fit both a 2" hitch as part # BWTS10049B or a 2-1/2" hitch as part # BWTS20049B. What makes this ball mount so great is that it comes with...

  • Recommended B&W Turnoverball To Use B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch On 2011 Ford F-250

This will allow you to use the B&W Companion 3000, and is a great option since when you do not need the hitch, you can remove it and your bed will not have above bed rails getting in the way.
