[@Tilley52]

It's been around for probably 10 years already. I saw them years ago at a local store. They were pretty pricey back then

[@CR500R]

However, one would wonder why Ford Motor Company didn't use them. 🤔

[@BigBirdNest]

@@CR500R this was my first thought as well, then I assumed it was because they figured they could screw over the small business man and design their own lol

I tried the link and it apears to be broken or the product is not indexed on the site correctly. Other than that, it is a cool product! EDIT: I found it by just searching the EZ Connect product.

[@hughtruex]

I have used his connectors for years. I have also had correspondence with Joe directly. The connector is outstanding and their customer support is second to none. Not cheap but great product!!!!!!

[@4x4trucks41]

Hands down a game changer!!! I know what my next upgrade will be.

[@tangydiesel1886]

This would be nice for going though fields and pastures. Many times I've had tree branches, stalks, and weeds grab the cable to the plug and pull it out, usually breaking something. Having it just pop out would be nice. Been trying to go to the zip breakaway cables for the same reason. Since they stay up out of the way.

[@22howards]

Been using these for a few years. Found out about them from a marine dock builder. The weakest link is the “o” ring which you can buy separately. E-z connector to 7-pin for non believers works well also. Joe is also VERY fair man.

[@22howards]

@@fbingha1 that said, replacing an O ring is easier than fixing a poor connection.

[@95dodgev10]

I like this concept. I do think only having one adapter to share amongst multiple trailers completely defeats the purpose of having this setup. Personally i would convert my trailers over to this setup permanently and then have an adapter incase i pull someone elses trailer or someone pulls mine.

[@hemitj]

This is an amazing product! I love the idea of using the 14pin setup for extra controls/options.

[@joelwingate7994]

They 14 pin one is super cool especially for powering lights and things on your trailer without a battery on it would make it super easy.

[@Aaron-P]

Like all great inventions, so simple & obvious, and absolutely mind boggling that no one thought of it earlier. I wish this company all the success. 😱🤯

[@RCRVadventures]

This looks like an awesome product! I have personally forgotten to unplug the fifth wheel an ripped the plug out when unhooking, breaking the housing. This is going on the upgrade list! 👍🏽

[@michaelprue9024]

Joe the inventor needs to partner up with Camping World and get these on the shelves in their stores. It’s definitely an upgrade I’m planning on making. These are really nice and the reviews just on this video are positive reviews, that says a lot.

[@StressLessCamping]

Boy this is absolutely game changing. I was wondering when someone would come up with this. It’s sort of the equivalent to the Apple MagSafe adaptor, except for trailers. Now if someone would invent this same darned thing for the AC (shore) power connection.

[@bishopgeorge1333]

Wow, man their you go again spending my money, this is a game changer. Hey sir, can you get me a job at etrailer, lol.

[@firefighterrobbie]

I like this. I have three trailers with the seven plug system. I may be worth getting it for all three trailers.

[@jackel440]

I remember seeing advertising for these plugs probably 8yrs or so ago. I wanted to get more info but lost the paper I had. So awesome to see that they are still out there! After dealing with another rotted plug on the back of my tow vehicle I'm ready to start converting my trailers and trucks to these.

[@smartvssmartass4694]

This is definitely the next best thing for so many different uses, that are actually useful! Let's all promote this guy! He's definitely got something huge!

[@peteengard9966]

How many amps can go through the pins? Some trailer brakes put out some current.

[@mrc1539]

I just use the seven pin round that is found on every semi and available at every truck stop. They work !

[@bobklittich5710]

Wow! A great idea! I’ve got to find out what is the maximum amperage through the connector.

[@LordFalconsword]

This should replace all current design connections. Period. Trucks and trailer for 2023 should begin using these.

[@TheBurnsStuff]

Hey JD, the link doesn't work. I'm not sure if its the link or etrailer's site. I'm curious of those who own this how it has held up. I'm highly interested since I'm constantly connecting and disconnecting.

[@riccochet704]

Wow. That's an amazing product. Thank you for showcasing this. I'm definitely a buyer for my trailers.

[@ALMX5DP]

Would be cool if OEMs got onboard with it. Doesnt seem to be roadside repairable though if the connector does get damaged. I know the standard 7-pin connector can be purchased anywhere and spliced in if you had a mishap mid-trip.

[@servicetrucker5564]

That’s why you carry spare parts

[@CR500R]

@@servicetrucker5564 It's a nice idea and all to carry spare parts. However, the great majority of folks can be absent minded and forget little accessories at home, or another vehicle. What ALMX5DP is talking about is wide-spread product availability. This is a great product, but it hasn't taken off yet to be so standard that you could walk into any truckstop or farm/ranch supply and pick one off the shelf. The proprietary nature of this plug would leave you having to order new parts from them if you had a mid-trip mishap.

[@ronjclm8590]

I never heard of a 14 pin trailer connector. It would be GREAT for my Boss V-plow connector. The big rectangular connector is always a PIA to press together and align the pins.

[@txshirle]

I converted my first 5th wheel to the EZConnector and it worked great until one time I went to connect and found the trailer end laying in a cow paddy. I had intermittent problems after that, usually with the trailer lights. That said it worked great before that incident. I kept a couple of the adaptors in the glove compartment of my truck so if had to use a tow vehicle that did not have the EZconnector I could still connect. It's a great product but the harness and adaptors are not inexpensive.

[@brettostler5705]

Wow! Game changer..

[@How2Wrench]

Totally agree…absolutely a game changer!

[@kurtschulmeyer1041]

I'm looking into this!

[@lilredcummins]

To restate the point of the ezconnector , as "95dodgev10" said, using the adapter to go back to the old style plug should be used ONLY for trailers that you borrow or pull for a friend. If you OWN the trailer, you should be changing the trailer connecter plug on all your trailers to remove the old design. Again, using the adapter regularly defeats the purpose of Joe's connector. Fantastic design.

[@OregonSlimMF]

Excellent video. Another solution that just makes you think of how simple and easily implementable the fact it's just now coming up is ridiculous.

[@michaeljay3109]

been using for a couple of years. great unit. only once I had a small fault. and it was my fault. didn't ensure connection was complete and tight. travelling on very dusty outback roads, I managed to get dust on the contacts, tail lights and indicators worked but of course the dust decided to build up on the brake contacts. not a great issue at the time, but lesson learnt, I run a dry cloth over the plug and socket every time I hook up and ensure the "o" ring seals

[@ricwestdoesitwork]

That EZ Connector is very cool JD. That guy I hope realizes what you did for him. The invention is a super cool game changer.

[@Lil-ox-MEMENTO-MORI]

I have never seen this before. I need no car manufacturer or anywhere. Why I have never seen. It is beyond me. This is a very great innovation. And I would love to put it on my truck and trailers.

Protect your RV/Trailer plug with Optronics ACP7S at Oreilly Auto/Amazon. The best cover I've found for your trailer plug while storing

[@danielwalker3936]

Would love a seamless way to replace the connector on my 2022 F250 that looks factory, but can’t seem to find it on the website or etrailer.

[@paulparadis916]

I would assume that depending on the pin size of the connector that the current rating would differ. Next question is how many plug-in and disconnect cycles has this been tested for. Basically life expectancy. It would be nice if they made a grab handle on the cable when disconnecting instead of pulling it by the cable. I think eventually over time that cause issues. It looks like a unique product for sure but I think at some point in the those springs will stop working. There's no doubt about it that the industry needs something different. Good interview Just my 2 cents. JD try to find out the amount of failures in the field and what was a common fault.

[@eddiesica3649]

I'm getting some of them ,I love them . "Fantastic"!!!

[@bubbascoutdog]

Yeah but you HAVE to CHANGE out ALL your plugs initially for ALL your trailers! What’s THAT going to cost you??? And I have several tow vehicles, change all THAT out too! Between my trailers and my tow vehicles, I’m looking at SIX sets of plugs!!!

[@jdcrow807]

Did not see a replacement for 2020 Super Duty bumper plug. Will have to wait. Great concept. I also am a fan of the Ford built in 4 way. A 7 way connected is a bit big for some smaller trailers (jet ski) I hope to see this expand.

[@BigfootDadExploresMontana]

[@seanwillhite192]

This is amazing thank you JD for bringing us such great content!

[@qforce3310]

First time seeing looks sweet. I’m having a problem from my open bay car hauler 7x20 giving me the caution on the dash had the truck rewired and had the trailer checked all passed. However when connecting I get the warnings and the tone’s killing me. Trailer was built to order in June of this year picked up in July 12th 2022. Had this problem day one twisted the cable fixed it the one and only time ever. Truck is an F250 and none or my other trailers does this the Big Tex 35ft no problem. Don’t understand.

[@chucknSC]

I actually don’t have problems with the standard connectors. Looks a solution fighting an industry standard. I’d spend $300 just for my truck and my 3 trailers. Then if anyone else towed my trailers, I’d need adapters, which I’d spend an hour trying to find it.

[@mrmotofy]

His claims of not using dielectric is false...it does NOT hinder your electrical connection. It actually minimizes corrosion. His statement is easily proven false.

[@ThePackDad]

I'm supposed to be using dielectric grease ?!? Have spent the last 3 years researching, 2 years owning and 6 months customizing and upgrading, about 15 trips and have never once heard this. Shameful I missed this if it's in my manual.

[@Licoricedisc]

Over 30 year Journeyman, IBEW Electrician, and I would not use this... bad idea. That is not a good electrical connection just 'touching' the contacts together. There will be dirt, oxidation etc. on the contacts that will also cause a unsatisfactory connection. I'm very surprised this has been passed by any testing authority.

[@akdm82]

It’s a great idea, but two things. I followed the link and didn’t see a way to find the one that will plug right into my wiring harness. Also, it is a bit pricier than I expected. Maybe I’ll give it some time and it will come down in price. I hope. 🙄😬 I think what I would do is mount the new type plug to my truck and the new end on my camper trailer and then get adapters in case I needed to tow a different trailer and get a 4 way adapter for my utility trailer. The problem is that would probably cost about $300 or so. If I’m understanding what I’m seeing here. Yikes. 😮

[@JustWatchN-j4c]

Make this for a commercial semi truck and trailer, and he’s rich overnight. With semi trailer pigtails being almost $150 to replace every time a driver forget to unplug it. This would only make since for a small trucking company with todays “steering wheel holders” from the hiring pool.

[@janicewilliams2194]

I would refer to this as "A man and his master plan with a valid connection." It's an awesome invention.Thx 4 sharing.

[@dennisschemine840]

Went into the ETRAILER to order this EZConnector system and while I found the piece for the truck the adapter for the 7 wire cord isn't listed on their website. I even did a chat with ETRAILER and the employee couldn't find that adapter either. So..by any chance do you know the part number for the cord adapter? Thanks

[@hansjansen7047]

That 14 wire cord would replace the two seven wire ones now used for heavy trailers in Ontario and Michigan. they require power to ABS systems and lift axle switches and diagnostic returns back to the tractor. We're not allowed to lift axles electrically anymore but lights in the trailer would be nice and maybe a backup camera.

[@pmurphy12667]

I installed this this past summer on my Off grid trailer and Silverado and love it! Totally agree game changer. We off road and go overlanding over serious 4x4 trails and my 7 pin kept coming loose. No more with the Ez connector. Best product out there!

[@openyoureyes3113]

Also kind of work does a theft proof not everybody would have this plug-in. On all my trailers I wire my plugs different I put my trailer brakes on the stop light Wire. I put my right signal to the left and the left signal to the right. But I do have an adaptor on every trailer So if somebody I know wants to borrow the trailer they use the cord. I just have a little plastic box to put the adaptor in. However this trailer plug-in Looks to be incredibly awesome!

[@peternielson4815]

Winner!

[@lard1892]

Too expensive......just use semi truck connectors, made ten times better. But I know quite a few people still have problems plugging in a simple lamp in they're house

[@johnbeeck2540]

Awesome solution! Almost 500K Subs!

[@robbiesapp3606]

If you want to buy this and then use an adapter to adapt it to each trailer, you might as well save your money and keep everything OEM. Using the vehicle connection with the adapter still gives you the corrosion problems he's trying to save you from having because you're still using the 7-way connection. If you're going to do it, change out the vehicle and trailer connections and be done!

[@NorthernKitty]

I hope someday something like this becomes the new standard. I had a traditional 7-pin socket installed on my van this summer. It failed the very first time I tried to use it and I had to replace it with another. It was too loose to hold the plug and so the plug kept breaking contact and thus would disconnect the brakes from my brake controller. Nothing like wasting 90 minutes (time to go to hardware store and back, then remove old socket and install new one) and $20 for absolutely no reason. And then, of course, it leaves you feeling from then on that your new socket is going to fail any day as well. And feeling like maybe I should always carry a spare replacement and the tools necessary to replace it - what if this happens at the campground the day I'm supposed to move my trailer?

[@Gary-rh2tc]

Would this work with a brake assist tow vehicle? I have a class C motorhome and tow a Jeep. Unfortunately, I can’t always get a solid connection and the brake assist doesn’t always work. Thanks

[@lexpcock3521]

I think tha real invention should be wireless trailer lights....Bluethooth iz everywhere...should have happened long ago.....Apple has been doing this connection for years with laptops?

[@bobsgradinginc.9308]

I switched my trailers to the semi truck pin style connector after frustrations with the plastic rv plug wearing out This looks to be my next upgrade Thanks for showcasing innovative products for the folks who tow

[@crashweekly7925]

So my only thing is, if they have been around for 10 years and doing well and have contracts with major manufacturers etc, why is the display sign a cheaply printed piece of paper or banner taped to an old wobbly table, 2 pails of bricks and no tent to shade from the sun with the company logo on it? It seems like a great invention and I am not knocking that one bit, but the first thing people see when they go to a show is how well the product is presented and how professional it looks. It honestly looks like this guy just showed up one day with 2 tables and some buckets and wires and setup shop. I would have a harder time believing in this product just based on the display he has and if they would honor warranty issues etc. And I know that there are companies out there with all the fancy setup that do not last but they at least look the part. This is just my opinion on the matter, some may feel the same and some might not . Maybe he is going for the "I'm a small start up looking for investors and don't have money for the fancy tent etc. But I wouldn't say to anyone that they have been around for 10 years, at this point the company should be profitable if they are in manufacturing facilities for AGV's etc.

[@thefoxman4]

Nice idea but you are going to have to get truck mfg to buy in. And get the rv /trailer industry to buy in. And still let's throw out I have 6 trailers. All but one have the industry standard 7way rv. Other has 4 pin. I am not planing on changing. Have only had to replace 3 ends so far. Agin great looking product but don't see going far. Also don't need to run more adapters.

[@bigdaddysshop8180]

I think this is a great product,but I don't understand why you wouldn't unplug ANY connectors if you're putting a trailer? You're right there unhooking the hitch.

[@iangolightly604]

One thing I noticed watching the video, was the lack of a visual reference of a proper connection. When connecting the pigtail of a semi to a trailer, the lid on the trailer side will stay at an angle until the pigtail has been pushed all the way in, and then drop down, securing the connection while staying level. It gives the user an obvious clue as to whether the connection is secure and proper. The E-Z connector is lacking this feature, as evidenced by at least one commenter below. One possible solution to this issue could be a colored end on the plug, which when properly connected wouldn't be visible. If not properly connected, this color (red possibly, indicating danger?) would stand out as a sour thumb.

[@alkraus8818]

Just add a top piece on the PLUG so the O-Rind on the Snap Cover allows the O-Ring to lock into place. That will ensure a solid connection and protect the O-Ring. Then you have a winner!

[@Aussie_Damo]

Do not use this for DC-DC connections as the pins and wires aren't big enough for over 12v 15+ amps. I don't see the difference between having a seal on the lid of a 7pin female adaptor on the car and the trailer and having a cable with 7 pin male plugs? Having a camera connection in the 14 pin would get electrical interference aswell. Not to mention if a 7 pin corrodes then this will aswell as the connector is the same metal but the 7 pin makes a better connection.

[@truraza]

If they have one that will work with a 2024 Sierra with the extra plugs for cameras under the cover, I am SOLD.

[@twinshock175]

Viewing this product from my country Australia, this would bring all the benefits mentioned in the video to the variety of plug connectors that we run, and improvements would all be the same. Well thought out device.

[@davidfrank2824]

Any problem I see is if you hardwire the plug to the trailer. What happens if you're tow vehicle breaks down or it's in the shop and now you have no way of connecting this back to a seven-pin conventional outlet. I have several trailers that's friends borrow all the time and I know none of them are going to change their connector on their truck. Also what do you do when you have the five pin for 4 pin connector for smaller trailers is that another adapter you would have to buy. Don't get me wrong I think this is a good idea. I drove tractor trailers for 30 years and I could not tell you how many times I had to fight to get my light plug into the trailer.

[@dangerrangerlstc]

Pretty neat connector. Do they have an adapter to go back to the 7 flat pin? What if I have this style connector on my truck and trailer, but my buddy needs to borrow my trailer to haul something? Also a concern, is magnetic filings getting on the magnet preventing a solid connection. Driving down a dusty dirt road may have iron particles in the dust that would get on the magnet.

[@Handyman247llc]

This is the game changer I was looking for, Magnetic connection with no pin and sockets to loose electrical connection over time. I just bought a new tool trailer and this is what I will buy and install. Thanks for this breakthru News.

[@scottandcherylfreeone9539]

Dont stop there keep working back and keep the LIGHTS ON. Unless im the only one that can park a trailer with the lites working and the next time of use you have to over haul to go again.

[@F239141]

I tried to get a display from him about 8 years ago working at one of the major trailer parts suppliers, but my "expert" manager didn't see any need to support a small business that was 30 minutes from our branch and already a vendor for us.

[@karterfilms7259]

Seems cool but as I have 32 different trailers I tow and that I have others that I share with some business partners so I can’t see this catching on. I’m sure a lot of people are in the similar boat. That being said it looks like a good well thought out product. Hope he does well!

[@ronrose2322]

The problem is they went to a 7 way standard on everything. It will never be the standard because every one would have to change everything. Wishfull thinking though.

[@VidmanSeaBreeze]

I would love to use one of these with my TT...I do not like that he said dielectric grease is non conductive - it has been used since 1974 on ALL electronic ignitions as a conductive anti-corrosive grease for electrical connections especially for elctronic ignitions - that statement he said was absolutely a lie. Product is a great idea and needed not to say anything not true. Hope he sells a bunch and corrects his incorrect statement.

[@brianroe88]

I mean, using an adapter is just adding more problems? I get about 10-12 years out of the standard 7pin... I appreciate that it is an interesting product

[@KentOlsen]

My question is about misalignment. If I plug it in and the pins are misaligned, can the power pin make contact with the ground which would blow a fuse or worse?

[@melissasmess2773]

Take my money!

[@timmontenegro2605]

Beautiful. Genius invention .im truly gonna look into purchasing in one.i have a 31 ft.travel trailor. Times are aittle hard at this time.soon ill order one.god bless you all.awsum interview thumbs up.

[@charleskessler1905]

This is great for theft prevention as well. Odds is a thief doesn't have the adaptor. Makes it much harder to steal if they can't hook it up. Locked brakes, and no lights on a trailer will make most bad guys move on to a easier target.

[@burkepete110]

40 years of trailer towing ... I never ripped out a plug. They should show what the wad of gear looks like when the adapters are used. I wonder what the total surface area of contact is ... traditional vs this product. Contact surface of this new new connector looks to be less than what you get from spade type.

[@MikeC19100]

That is most definitely a game changer for hooking up any type of trailer connection. Given the option to have this new connector vs the original 7-pin connector I would definitely pay extra to get this new connector installed.

[@skywarrior1122]

I'm having trouble finding the plug and play kit for my Toyota 4Runner they mentioned in the video. Any ideas

Cute… try selling your trailer after changing it.. new owner would be slightly peeved it didn’t come with…

[@joelhanawalt5660]

Anyone have issues with the black wire overheating, or that location on this plug showing signs of heat issues? That would be my initial concern. Lare amounts of current going through those little round connection points and the resistance found in that spot
