Replaced OEM 7-pin trailer plug

[twinbubba]

For the last few years with both my Titan and now my DMax I have had to use a 7-pin to 4-pin flat adaptor when towing my boat or utility trailer. Furds have both, I don't know why GM does not.
Anyway I found a plug made by HopkinsMfg (Hoppy part #40955) that has both the 7 & 4 pin, fit in the hole left from removing my OEM 7-pin and plugged directly into the OEM wiring harness. I had to drill 4 holes for mounting screws but the install looks clean. I paid $25 for it at AutoZone.
Now I can get that darned adaptor out of my glove box.

Just thought that some of you that need both 7 & 4 pin might like to know there is a cheap, easy to install, solution. I think I paid about $12 for that darned adaptor.

I did the same thing and have been using it about 1.5 years and have had good luck out of it. Great product.

Your truck should've come with the adapter. It is kinda retarded though.

Agreed. I have to carry an adapter around with me also.

i installed that very 4-7 plug on the burban and installed a brake controller works great, i just need to install a dmax in it now so it can lug the trailer faster than 45 in the hills
