For just a replacement 7-Way connector, I recommend the Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole # PK12-707E. You will just need to splice in you Dakota's existing wiring to the appropriate locations on the connector.
In order to determine the wire functions on your vehicle, I recommend using a circuit tester like # PTW2993. You can have a buddy sit in the driver seat to activate each function on the vehicle while you test the wires that you mentioned. This is the most accurate way to test for function,... view full answer...
To flat tow your 2005 Dodge Dakota using the Roadmaster Nighthawk tow bar # RM-676 you will need crossbar # 910021-00, sold separately, and base plates # 52276-1. The tow bar comes with safety cables so you will not need to add any additional cables.
You will also need lighting and supplemental braking. For lighting you can use # RM-152. This will wire into the connector that is included with the tow bar and to the vehicle so the RV will control the Dakota's lights when it is being towed.

For your 2000 Dodge Dakota Club Cab 4x4, I recommend the Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL59501. This system has a 2,000 lb capacity and requires 6 inches from the outside of the frame to the inside of the tire. This is not compatible with an in bed hitch.
For either air spring option, I recommend the Firestone Air Command I - Analog Gauge w/ Standard-Duty Compressor - Single Function - 130 psi # F2158. This will allow you to adjust the air pressure in your springs... view full answer...
Transmission coolers are not vehicle specific so you will be able to use the Derale Dyno-Cool Tube-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit - Class IV - Economy, # D12904, if it will fit in one of three mounting locations.
You will need to measure in the engine compartment of your 2008 Dodge Durango to make sure a cooler will fit. The most efficient mounting point is between the grille and AC condenser core. The next most efficient place is between the AC condenser core and the radiator (25 percent... view full answer...

1997 - 2011 Dodge Dakota
2010 - 2011 Ram Dakota

Yes we do offer a replacement bolt kit for the hitches we offer like the Curt part # C13145 that you referenced. You'd just need the part # RHK and you'd be set. On the product page you'd enter C13145 in the box labled "Hitch Item Number" then just add it to your cart, once purchased we will ship you out the parts you need! view full answer...
I do have an option for you but they do not make a custom fit towing mirror like the K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors part # KS81850 for your 2007 Dodge Dakota because it is not a very popular tow vehicle. If you don't want to use a strap-on option like the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors part # KS3891-2 which are generally what I recommend in this case then I suggest something like the CIPA Deluxe Door Mount Mirror part # 11650 (2).
These mirrors actually attach to the door... view full answer...
If you measure and your bed ends up being 5 feet long you can use Rightline tent # RL110765. This model is for trucks without a bed cap/camper shell. view full answer...
The Aries grille guard # AA5041 for your 1998 Dodge Dakota does indeed have pre-drilled holes in the center crossbar for auxiliary lights. view full answer...
The problem with the Dakota Sport mirrors is that they are smaller than most truck mirrors, they are more similar to a car's mirror and that is why the custom towing mirrors for Dakotas don't fit them.
The part # 11953 that you referenced is a universal mirror that could work for you as long as your mirror is between 7 and 10 inches in height.
Another option you have is the K Source Universal Clip-On Towing Mirror, part # KS3891. As long as you have a lip on the edge of your mirrors,... view full answer...
You'd need to have a front hitch installed on your 2007 Dodge Dakota like the Curt part # 31228 so that you could use the hitch plate part # BDW20011 that you referenced with a 10k winch.
Then for a winch you'd want the # CU859112.
I know you said you wanted a 10k winch but the front hitch for your truck is only rated for 9,000 lbs like this Superwinch. view full answer...
I wish we had an adjustable height ladder rack we could recommend, but nothing we offer in this style of side-mount ladder rack is height adjustable. For an adjustable height ladder rack that does fit your 1997 Dodge Dakota the only option would be a rack like the Thule Xsporter part # TH500XT which is a confirmed fit. view full answer...
For a brake controller to use with your 2005 Dodge Dakota and cargo trailer, you can use any controller since they are not vehicle specific. I recommend using a proportional brake controller, like the Tekonsha P3, # 90195, that you have referenced. Proportional controllers offer the best and safest braking and reduce wear on both the towing vehicle and trailer brakes. The P3 would be good for the mountains because the self-leveling feature constantly checks and readjusts itself 400 times... view full answer...
If you had a Extang BlackMax tonneau cover on your 2005 Dodge Dakota 6-1/2 foot bed you'd have the part # EX2760 which means the correct replacement tarp is the part # EX1760. None of the numbers you mentioned are a fit since they are for different trucks. view full answer...
My chip recommendation is the Edge Gas Evolution CS2 Performance Tuner- Color Screen, part # EP85350. It comes with built in tunes and I like that it can be mounted to the windshield. This model is compatible with your 2002 Dodge Dakota with 4.7L engine and with the HDMI-style input you can connect EAS (Expandable Accessory System) accessories.
I have included a product description link and a video review link below. view full answer...
Using the breakaway battery charger to charge another battery on the trailer is not recommended. The larger battery you are using to operate the trailer winch would take an extremely long time to charge with a breakaway charger and would likely never charge fully with the limited amount of time the trailer is connected to the vehicle, even if towing long distances. The breakaway battery may not be charged sufficiently in this situation either.
The best bet for charging the winch battery... view full answer...
There aren't any safety chain loops on the Westin Fey Bumper part # 63000-97800. Safety chains would be better attached to a hitch.
For a hitch for your 1995 Dodge Dakota that has safety chain loops you would want the Curt Class III Hitch part # C13280.
For trailer wiring you would want the Curt Harness part # C55329.
For ball mounts I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag. view full answer...
Larger trucks like the full-sized Ram have grille guards available that can accommodate a winch. However, with a Dakota the only available winch mounting option we offer would be to install a front mounted hitch like part # 31097. The hitch and the grille guard would use the same mounting points on the outside of the front frame members, so it wouldn't be possible to install them at the same time since the presence of one would interfere with the other.
