Looks identical to the factory unit, made by the same company that makes the original but it must be different specs because my trailer plus is so loose it feels like it's going to fall out. the plug will move in and out about 1/4 inch where the original feels very snug. Un fortunately this part is non returnable (electrical connector) but I needed one quickly. I will be buying a GM original and throwing this one in the trash. Very disappointed.

Curt - Dual-Output 6 & 4-Way Connector (Plugs into USCAR) (Part No. 55664)
Description
A CURT custom wiring connector (sometimes called a T-connector) is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that eliminates the need for cutting, splicing and soldering when installing vehicle-to-trailer wiring. Most vehicles do not come ready to tow. Unless your vehicle has a towing package, it is probably not equipped with a trailer wiring connector. This is where CURT's custom wiring connectors come into play. A custom wiring connector uses a single original equipment plug to plug into a special socket provided by your vehicle. Though this option is not available on every vehicle, some automotive manufacturers design their vehicles to be easily equipped for towing by supplying a socket, integrated into the vehicle's electrical system, to readily accept a custom wiring connector. With a CURT custom wiring connector, there is no need to tap into the taillight assembly because a special socket is already provided. This special custom wiring connector actually provides two connector sockets for a multipurpose option. It plugs into an OEM USCAR connector and offers a 4-way flat and 6-way round connector (see application info to verify fitment with your vehicle). It also comes with a mounting bracket for easy installation. CURT custom wiring connectors are designed to be long-lasting and simple to install. They come with dust covers to keep your connector clean when not in use.

Product Features:
Plugs into USCAR socket to provide 4-way and 6-way trailer wiring connectors
Fits USCAR-equipped vehicles with factory tow plugs
Simple plug-and-play design eliminates the need for cutting or splicing
4-way flat output connects tail lights, brake lights and turn signals
6-way round socket adds connection for electric brakes and auxiliary power
Dust covers included to keep connectors clean when not in use
Slit loom keeps wires contained and well protected
Metal bracket securely mounts wiring to the vehicle or trailer hitch
