Hopkins Towing Solutions 41144 Vehicle Wiring Kit

summary: great product and easy to installPros: works great easy to install, even easier with the bumper off.Cons: cheap crimp style butt connectors included.Read below for my complete experience.Installed this product on a 2016 V6 Chevy Colorado LT at the same time I was replacing the lackluster factory hitch, with a class IV manufactured by Draw-Tite ASIN: B00RBG32I8. The install is straight forward. I had already removed the bumper due to the fact I was installing a new hitch, but I'd recommend going through the trouble even if you aren't replacing the hitch. The color coding does not match between the factory wiring and this product, but on the back-side of the cardboard insert of this product it does have an accurate color conversion for convenience. The included crimp style butt connectors are cheap and in my honest opinion should be skipped. I used heat-shrink style crimp on butt connectors such as ASIN: B079DQFC59 , to prevent any corrosion in the long term. I am an electronics technician, so I spent a little extra time weather proofing the wiring and connectors, but this is probably unnecessary. After completing the crimping, I removed the old "dummy" plug with a small flat head screw driver and tossed it in a box and snapped the new receptacle in place. I then reached back under the bumper and plugged the connector into the receptacle. This was for sure one of the cleanest and easiest installs of a trailer wiring adapter I have done to date. With the attention to detail and care that I put into the process, it took me all of an hour. One thing to mention is that unless you have the factory towing package that includes the brake controller (I doubt that if you're reading this you do" you will not magically have the trailer brake abilities. You will still need to purchase a trailer brake controller. The wiring will be dead ended at the drivers side kick panel. With the exception of the brake controller functionality the rest of the wiring worked great and is of top notch quality.

product worked well, instructions were perfect for the application.. 3 thumbs up.

easy to install and fit perfect on my truck

Exactly what I wanted thank you.

The instructions were great, easy to install. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was that the length of the wires seemed short. If I had made a mistake and had to re-do any of them, I don't know if it would have reached. Fortunately the chart on the packaging was accurate and everything worked well, but another 6" of wires would have left me some wiggle room if it didn't. Also, I substituted some heat-shrink butt connectors for the ones they supplied, and shrunk those into place with a heat gun. Not absolutely necessary but anything to prevent water & corrosion from giving me grief a couple years down the road. But the wiring all worked great!

Worked great when swapping a 21' Tundra box onto a 2007 Model. Fit in new bumper just like the OEM
