  • The towing capacity listed for a trailer hitch like part # 75713 is increased to 7,500-lbs with a weight distribution system for your 2017 Durango RT. I did some research and found that your truck is capable of towing up to 7,400-lbs if it is a rear wheel drive and 7,200-lbs if it is an all wheel drive. The # 75713 hitch is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening. I have attached the towing capacity chart for a 2017 Durango from the owner's manual you can check out. The...

  • Recommended Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Hitch Adapter
  • It sounds like your 5th wheel trailer already has what it needs and you just need the adapter for the Ram Gooseneck if I understand correctly. If your gooseneck hitch has a round tube, then I recommend the Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter # KPG5-R30IP. If it has the square tube, then I recommend the Ram Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter Inner Tube - Square - 30,000 lbs # KPG5-Q30IP which has a 4 inch tube. Both options have a plate that is 9-7/8 by 9-7/8 inches....

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness For a 2005 Dodge Durango
  • I recommend installing the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13072 on your 2005 Dodge Durango. This will easily bolt to the impact structure behind your rear bumper. Since it uses this impact structure it will not hang down like the other Curt # 13297. I prefer Curt as they are made in the USA and have a lifetime warranty. The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118390 will give you a 4-way flat connector. This will allow you to connect to most small trailers and Auxiliary Lights # C53201. If...

  • What Does the Tow Haul Button Do On a 2013 Dodge Durango
  • The tow haul button is a common option on most trucks and SUV's suited for towing. The feature affects the transmission. It limits the number and frequency of shifts while hauling which helps improve performance and cuts down on wear. If your vehicle did not come with this, you're not out of luck. The same or similar benefits can be had for a plug-in style tuner, the Edge Gas Evolution CTS3 Performance Tuner part # EP99YR. The tuner will have an edge on the tow haul mode as well increasing...

  • How to Pick Out a Weight Distribution System for a New Travel Trailer
  • The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use. Once you know your tongue weight...

  • Weight Distribution, Transmission Cooler and Brake Controller for 2006 Dodge Durango
  • As a first step, I recommend you determine the towing capacity of your Durango. I have done some research on that vehicle, and saw several references that state that the Durango, regardless of the engine it has, can only tow 2000 lbs unless it is equipped with the trailer towing group. Check with your owners manual or or your Dodge dealer for more information. You then need to determine the as-towed, fully loaded tongue weight of your trailer. I will provide an article that shows how to...

  • Is Sway Control Needed for Hauling Motorcycle on 6X12 Patriot Homesteader Enclosed Trailer
  • Take the loaded trailer out for a few test runs, including a short run on an interstate. Crosswinds and turbulence caused by passing tractor trailers will quickly tell you if trailer sway will be a problem for you. If sway is a problem, properly loading the trailer will go a long way to controlling trailer sway. Make sure the bike is as far forward of the trailer axle as you can get it, because more tongue weight helps eliminate trailer sway. If moving the bike forward is not feasible,...

  • Trailer Hitch for 2016 Dodge Durango that Hangs Below Bumper
  • All of the hitches we offer install to the frame of your 2016 Dodge Durango and then hang below the rear bumpers. Aftermarket hitches typically do not go through the openings in the rear fascia that is designed for the factory hitches to fit through. One advantage to this is that the hitch accessories wouldn't be difficult to pin into the hitch since you wouldn't have to reach up under the bumper to get the pin through. The Curt hitch part # C13182 is confirmed to fit your 2016 Durango...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2023 Dodge Durango for Towing
  • For your 2023 Dodge Durango I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98901. This hitch features a bolt-on installation and a matte black powder coat finish. The finish gives it a nice OEM look and does a better job hiding dirt and scratches compared to a glossy finish. The hitch comes with a limited lifetime warranty and is made in the USA. Since you will be towing you're also going to need wiring. Assuming you do not have the factory tow package you can use the # 118617. If...

  • Tongue Weight Capacity of the Equalizer Shank
  • Basically the weight capacity for the # EQ90-02-4800 is 1,600 lbs. A lot of weight distribution systems are rated for tongue weight ranges. In this case there is really only a max capacity that it can be used with. Since this is a 2-1/2 inch hitch shank there is an assumption that it would be used on a heavier application that may be misleading.

  • Can the Mirror Face of the Towing Mirror KS3891 Rotate Vertically
  • The mirror face on the part # KS3891 can rotate vertically if you wanted it to. I attached a picture that shows the mirror in that orientation. The mirror adjustments are designed to be very stiff since there isn't a housing behind the mirror to protect the wind from moving it. Remove or loosen the screw behind the mirror (see pic) and then it will turn easier.

  • Can a 2001 Dodge Durango 4.7 4x4 Tow a Travel Trailer that Weighs 7,000 Pounds
  • Based on my research the standard towing capacity of a 2001 Dodge Durango 4x4 is 4,450 pounds and the maximum is 7,350 pounds. It depends on how it is equipped. The source that you need to check is the owners manual. I do not have access to one online but your copy should have the towing capacities listed. There also may be a towing capacity listed on the sticker in the driver side door jamb. Trailer brakes are a good idea, but they do not get added to the Durango. The trailer will have...

  • Recommended Towing Mirrors For 2014 Dodge Durango
  • The towing mirrors we offer for a 2014 Dodge Durango are a universal fit. We do not have a custom fit mirror available for your vehicle. I recommend the K-Source Universal Towing Mirror, part # KS3891. This clips to the lip of your vehicle mirror and features a ratcheting strap that secures the mirror. This mirror adjusts from 4-1/2 to 14 inches tall and 14-1/2 inches wide with a mirror face that measures 7-3/4 x 5-1/8 inches. This mirror has rubber pads on the straps to protect your...

  • Best Weight Distribution with Sway Control for 2015 Dodge Durango.
  • The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. If your third row seat is behind the rear axle then the weight of your kids should be counted as tongue weight. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well.
