• Parts Needed to Install 7-Way in 2018 Dodge Journey
• The Tekonsha # 22551 is a universal style of 7-way that could technically fit your 2018 Dodge Journey but it would not be the easiest solution so it would not be what I recommend. Instead you'd want to start with a 4-way custom fit for your Journey with the # 118567 for if you have incandescent taillights or # 118536 if you have LED. This takes care of the taillight circuits in the easiest way possible. The harnesses easily install by plugging inline with the vehicle taillight connects....

• Can a 2019 Dodge Journey Be Flat-Towed
• The 2019 Dodge Journey is flat-towable with all four wheels down but the Lube Pump Kit Assembly part LP-BK01-022 is required for the transmission in order to prevent any damage while in tow. The lube pump is not something we offer but we do have all the other parts you will need to complete your setup which I have attached for you below. Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BX2408 Blue Ox Alpha 2 Tow Bar part # BX7380 Blue Ox Portable Braking System part # BLU37TR Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to...

• Troubleshooting Curt Trailer Wiring Harness Not Working on 2020 Dodge Journey
• Sounds like you may have had the wrong Curt trailer wiring harness installed on your 2020 Dodge Journey. Curt makes the part # C56332 which is correct if the light style of the vehicle is incandescent and they also make the LED version part # C56330. Is there any way you could confirm which harness you have?

• Best Trailer Hitch for a 2018 Dodge Journey SXT Blacktop Edition
• There are no exclusions in regards to a trailer hitch for your 2018 Dodge Journey SXT Blacktop Edition. Therefore, I recommend using the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76225 because this is the only option we have for you that maintains a concealed design which simply means that the receiver tube opening is the only part of the trailer hitch that will be visible once installed which you can see from the attached photo. In order to find a local installer you will simply...

• Trailer Hitch Fit Recommendation for 2013 Dodge Journey with LED Taillights
• Yes, the Curt hitch part # C13201 is a confirmed fit for your 2013 Dodge Journey with LED taillights. I attached an install video for this hitch on a similar 2013 Dodge Journey. Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If the ball...

• Could a 2010 Dodge Nitro with a 3.7 liter Engine Tow a 4777 lb Rockwood Trailer
• Before you do anything you will want to consult the owners manual of your 2010 Dodge Nitro to determine what Dodge recommends as towing capacities for your vehicle. I will say that all of the hitches we sell for your vehicle have a max capacity of 4,000 lbs which leads me to believe you would not be able to tow your 4,777 lb Rockwood trailer with your vehicle. With that being said, if you determine that you can pull your trailer you will definitely want a weight distribution system since...

• Trunk Mount Bike Carrier Recommendation for a 2014 Dodge Journey
• Thule does list the OutWay # TH56BV as a fit for your 2014 Dodge Journey. However, I recommend going with a different rack because of the exact issue you are describing; that upper plastic part at the top of the rear hatch. You don't want to much stress on it. So I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2-3. This rack has an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over that spoiler so no weight is put on it (since the spoiler is not meant to support weight)....

• How to Install a Brake Controller on a 2009 Dodge Journey
• Though I am not sure what the connector you are referring to is for, I can assure you that it is not for trailer wiring which means we would not have anything that plugs into it to operate the trailer lights. If you would like to add a 4-way trailer connector to your 2009 Dodge Journey then I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118474 which is almost completely plug and play. If the trailer has brakes then you will need a brake controller and a 4 to 7-way trailer wiring...

• Solution for Connecting 4-Way on Dodge Journey to 7-Way on Trailer to Power Signal LIghts.
• If you only need to power the basic signal lights on the trailer you plan on borrowing (and not power/control electric brakes on the trailer if it is equipped with them) then your best option will be to use the Hopkins 4-Pole to 7-Pole Adapter # 37185. This will plug right into the 4-Way flat plug on your Dodge Journey to provide you with a 7-Way connector at the other end to plug into the trailer. If you just need the lights to work then the additional blue, black, and purple wires coming...

• Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Dodge Journey AWD
• Your 2017 Dodge Journey is one of the vehicles for which two types of hitch are made, both a smaller 1-1/4-inch Class II hitch and a 2-inch Class III. In such cases we always recommend the 2-inch option since it will be compatible with more hitch-mount accessories and because it will offer a higher weight rating without much more additional cost. The Class III hitch I recommend for your Journey AWD is the etrailer # e98845 because it will offer easier installation than others and because...

• Is the Rightline Gear SUV Tent RL110907 Raccoon Proof
• While Rightline doesn't specifically state whether or not their Tent part # RL110907 is raccoon-proof I would think that it would take a pretty smart and persistent one to actually get in the tent. We have yet to hear from any customers who have bought this tent and ended up having any issues with raccoons either. If you were sleeping in the tent and something was trying to get in you would also hear them before they actually got in.

• 2009 Dodge Journey Brake Controller Installation with a Factory 7-Way
• The Mopar wiring harness includes the power line to the electric brakes. The wiring harness should be hard wired direct to the control module in the engine compartment. The brake wire may be tied off somewhere nearby as it does not get wired to the module. Another option would be to run the blue brake output wire from the Tekonsha P2 brake controller # 90885 to the brake output circuit of the 7-way. You could use the 10 Gauge Primary Wire # 10-1-1 for this. This is sold in 1 foot increments,...

• Roof Rack Recommendation for 2013 Dodge Journey R/T
• Since you wanted to maximize the bar length for your 2013 Dodge Journey the best roof rack option we have would be one that has the longest crossbars like the Thule Aeroblade part numbers # TH711520, # TH480R, and # THKIT1658 which comes with 60 inch crossbars. Your sunroof would not be an issue either. The Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK200 that you referenced is a great bang for your buck roof rack and has 54 inches of crossbar space. This could work...

• Class III 2-Inch Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness for 2015 Dodge Journey SXT
• For a 2-inch Class III hitch for your 2015 Dodge Journey SXT you will be better off using a custom-fit type made specifically for your vehicle; we have several such hitches that are shown on the linked page. The one I suggest is a USA-made Curt model, part # C13201, which is shown in the linked installation video. This hitch includes all mounting hardware and offers a 4000-lb maximum towing capacity. If you need a 4-pole wiring harness use part # 118536 if you have LED tail lights or...

• Could the Curt Vertical Receiver Adapter # C45013 Work on a 2012 Dodge Journey Factory Hitch
• The Curt Hitch part # C45013 is specifically designed for use with Curt stealth hitches only. Due to pin hole locations, it most likely will not match up with other stealth hitches. But I did attach picture of this product with all of it's dimensions listed. You might compare this drawing to you hitch to see if it would match up.
