This adapter plugs in to the OEM receptacle without any excessive effort and the flat 4 pin connector on my utility trailer also plugs into the adapter without any excessive effort. As a bonus there is a cover for the 4 pin side of the adapter to protect it the elements when not in use.

I found out shortly after buying this adapter that I didnt need it and returned it.



by:

I wanted one with a LED tester built into it to "trick" my SUV into thinking I had a trailer connected when really it was just a bike rack so the car didn't slam in it's brakes while reversing thinking it was something else. So I bought a different adapter.

The picture slightly deceived me into thinking this had LED tester because the plug is attached by a rubber string (that I thought was a wire). So add another picture of the other side and that would eliminate my confusion.

4 stars because it probably works the way 99% of people would want to use it for.

I see what you wanted to do however using a LED tester would not provide enough resistance to make the SUV think that a trailer was plugged in. Typically what I recommend is turning off the feature in the SUV when you are using the bike rack. I know it can be a bit of a pain.



by:

Everything worked out well. On time and fits perfect. Attach hitch setup and my new Ridgeline.
It comes with a 2" inch receiver and I have a full compliment of 1.25. stuff from my previous car. All from etrailer i must admit!
so I needed the 2-1.25 reducer, a good lock, and the 7-4 reducer for my goodies!
Thanks for the grest service

Best brake controller. Very easy to install and use.

Product came wired incorrectly. Had to cut wires to connect properly. Have been waiting for a replacement but has never came. So Ive been making do with exposure to weather with this.



by:

Excellent connector between 7 pole to 4 way. Easy to use and works great



by:

Not overly complicated but works great - I use it to connect a 4-pin flat connector to my vehicles because the 4-pin connectors on my vehicles have a spring-loaded dust cover on them that tends to "push sideways" the four pin connector coming into it, bending it to the side just enough to concern me. Using the 7 pin adapter alleviates this, and of course works great any time a 7 pin socket is the only one available. Would recommend.



by:

I used this outlet plug to have 12 volt to power our shuttle pump on the water wagon to pump chemicals into our chem farm mix tank works really well easy to wire and very nice looking very durable .



by:

Very fast seevice and good communication with etrailer. Item was exactly as described and fit well.



by:

Works well with hitch and harness I purchased for e-trailer.

Nice quality.

Working as it should. No issues. Nice item.



by:

It works, it doesn’t have indicator lights so it doesn’t make my Rivian think I’m towing unless I actually am. The cap is difficult to remove as it’s recessed into the unit, overall it does the job.



by:

Used this for wireless tow lites. Worked exactly as described.



by:

Great product but superior customer sup port



by:

This Pollak 7 Pole to 4 Way Connector Adapter is exactly what I needed and works great. I just used it a couple days ago, and after having it for over a year, it's just as reliable as day one. I highly recommend it.



by:

A good quality adapter

by:

Arrived quick and is exactly what I ord ered!



by:

Bridges the gap!

Although I am commenting on this product, I actually would like to comment on the following products. I purchased a brake system, tow bar, base plates and wire harness from etrailer. All of my orders were filled in a timely manner. When I reached out for technical assistance, the advisors were readily accessible. All of the products were installed by me. All of the products were very easy to install by using the video and instructions.



by:

Does what it is supposed to do. Just make sure to push it in all the way for a good connection



by:

The trailer connector was easy to use and worked as advertised with no problems.

Still operating like new. Great product.



by:

Once I got the receptacle for my 2021 VW ID.4 I needed the convert. This is retained nicely by the door on the receptacle so that it does not fall off enroute.

The adapter works GREAT and the shipping was very fast! Thank you!!!!

  • Stealth Hitch And Wiring Harness Option For A 2024 Kia Telluride S
    Hello Michael, thanks for reaching out. You are correct that you will need both the # 391KIATELL20 kit as well at the # SH53GR towing kit in order to tow a trailer with your 2024 Kia Telluride S. This kit does come with the 7-way and this is currently the only version of this wiring harness made by stealth hitch. There are 4-flat harnesses for the Telluride made by other brands, but since you are doing a stealth hitch, you will need to use their towing kit/wiring harness as well. Then to...

  • Exhaust Clearance Concerns on the Yakima EXO Swing Away Storage System and License Plate Kit
    Yes, the Yakima EXO Swing Away Storage System w/ 2 Enclosed Cargo Carriers item # Y74ZR is compatible with the 2" receiver on your 2018 BMW X1. As far as exhaust heat goes, the shank on the swing away has a 2" rise to lift the carrier up and away from your exhaust. On our test vehicle the closest part of the frame was 6" away from the bumper so you shouldn't have any issues with exhaust heat causing damage. Given the size of this system I strongly recommend using the License Plate and...

  • Comparing Curt and Ford OEM Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2022 Ford Maverick
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C84BR is not the same shape as the Ford OEM hitch but the installation process is similar. Like the OEM hitch, the Curt hitch will bolt onto the frame and sit behind the rear bumper so the end result will be the same. When installing the Curt # C84BR you have the option to either cut a hole in the bumper insert panel or completely remove it. The OEM hitch calls for the removal of the panel so if you do choose to remove this it will look identical to the...

  • What Type of Connector Does the Kuat Piston Pro X Need to Power the Lights?
    It depends on which harness you have. If your CR-V has a 4-way connector then you are good. The Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack item # KU48VR you were looking at requires a 4-way to control and power the lights. I have attached a picture of the connector below. If your CR-V has a 7-way connector you will need the Pollak 7 Pole to 4 Way Connector Adapter item # PK12716.

    I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e55ZR for your 2022 Subaru Ascent Premium. This Class III hitch has a 2" receiver and is completely hidden when the center bumper cover is attached. It has a maximum gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs, tongue weight of 750 lbs, and is compatible with weight distribution. It features a rugged, matte black finish for rust and corrosion protection and is made in the USA. If you plan on doing some towing and need wiring, you will also want the...

  • Comparing EcoHitch and OEM Hitch to Curt and etrailer Hitches on 2022 Subaru Ascent
    I'll start with the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7381. The price on any EcoHitch comes from the material used in the construction of the hitch. It uses a special alloy made of recycled materials and combines aluminum, steel, and stainless steel. You are right about the OEM hitch too, a lot of times they come with a wiring harness. On some vehicles if you get it with the OEM hitch the bumper may also be different to allow for an OEM look. For your 2022 Subaru Ascent that...

    Hey Edward, There is a single option for adding a hitch to your 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLE350 AMG so you can tow your boat trailer, form Stealth Hitches. The correct part is the following: - Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH57GR The # SH57GR gives you the ball mount and wiring needed for towing, and the cool part about this is that the ball mount can be completely removed when you aren't using it, so your Mercedes won't look like it has a hitch at all.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2019 Honda Passport
    Hi Al; we don't have any kind of package price but I can answer your questions. The # 76290 will work well but the etrailer # e44AR will help save you some extra money. The only difference between the two is the capacity. It looks like the 2019 Passport tops at at 5,000 lbs for the towing capacity so the additional capacity from the Draw-Tite won't make a difference. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector # CU86FR comes with everything you need to install...

  • Options For Converting Trailer With Hydraulic Surge Brakes To Being Controlled By a Brake Controller
    I have a couple options for your 1996 Jayco camper. The easiest option will be to add either the Hydrastar Vented Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes # HS481-8067 or for Drum Brakes # HS481-8065. This will allow you to retain all your hydraulic lines, brakes and drums on your trailer. Both kits include a breakaway battery, breakaway switch and the hydraulic actuator and wiring needed to install them. You will need an Adapter # PK12716 to plug your 4-way flat into the...

  • License Plate Holder & Brake Lights For Bike Rack
    Sure thing, we have both a license plate holder and lights you can add to your bike rack, and what you can use is the following: - Yakima PlateMate License Plate Holder for Bike Racks # Y02713 - Curt Auxiliary LED Indicator Lights # C53201 The # C53201 lights use 3M adhesive you can stick on the rack, and they have a 4-way you will plug into your motorhome. If your motorhome instead has a 7-way, you can still use this, you'll just need 4-way to 7-way adapter # PK12716.

  • Options For Replacing A Broken 7-Way Connector
    Hello Evan. I do have a solution for you, but I am afraid we do not offer a product that will fit your exact description. We do offer a few 7-way extensions that could potentially be used. Something like the TorkLift Wiring Harness Extension # TLW6021. This will plug into the old 7-way and give you a new 7-way plug. It is 21" long though, so you would have to come up with a way to hide all the extra cord. You can use that with a bracket # A10-9394VP for a clean installation. Keep in mind...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness For A 2021 Chevy Traverse
    Hi Motty, 2021 Chevy Traverse's have a factory connector at the back to plug into so you can go with either a 4-pole # C56394 or 7-way # C56393 connector depending on your needs. Personally, I'd go with the 7-way and if you need to connect to a 4-pole trailer wire harness you can just use an adapter # PK12716. Having a 7-way will allow you to install a brake controller and tow trailers with brakes so it's just going to offer more versatility. To mount the 7-way connector I recommend...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring for 2024 Kia Telluride LX
    Assuming you don't have LED tail lights and you're looking for a 4-way you can use the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C93FV. This plugs into the connection points in your rear cargo area. The 4-way will power the signal lights on your trailer. If you're looking for a 7-way for a trailer with brakes you can use the Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness w Brake Controller Adapter # TK74CR. The wiring harness also includes an adapter that would allow you to plug in a...

    Trailer wiring harness # 118549 gets the signals it needs through the tail light wiring on your 2012 Ford Focus hatchback.

This wiring harness is if the Focus is towing a trailer and will not work in reverse (towing the Focus behind a motor home).

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness for 2021 Toyota Highlander

This custom fit Class III hitch has a 2" receiver and a maximum gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs. It also has a concealed cross tube so only the receiver will be visible at the back of your vehicle. What sets this hitch apart is the matte black powder coat finish. This gives it more of an OEM look and does a better job hiding dirt and scratches when compared to a glossy finish. For...

    As your trailer has a 4-way you simply need an Adapter # PK12716 to connect to the Hydrastar Vented Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator # HS481-8067. The actuator, breakaway battery and module will all plug into each other through the included connector on the 7-way harness. If you need help selecting the correct coupler to replace your surge coupler I would need to see what you have along with the weights for the trailer.

  • Connecting Magnetic Tow Bar Lights With 4-Way to Motorhome With 7-Way

While you could do some cutting and splicing to get it to work, the much easier option is to go with a magnetic light set with a 4-flat, the Roadmaster Standard Magnetic Tow Lights # RM-2120.
