Expert Answers about Dodge Journey


  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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)....

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2013 Dodge Journey that Will Work with a Trailer that has LED Lights
  • For the trailer wiring harnesses for the 2013 Dodge Journey the indications in our fit guide that specify with or without LED lights pertain to the vehicle tail lights. So if your Journey has LED lights you can use # 118536. If it does not have LED lights use # 118567. Both wiring harnesses are compatible with trailers that have LED or regular incandescent lights. I have linked videos on both harnesses for you.

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2017 Dodge Journey Crossroads with LED Tail Lights
  • We do have trailer wiring harnesses that plug in line with the tail lights on your 2017 Dodge Journey. But they also require power from the vehicle battery. The reason is that the vehicle wiring cannot handle the additional power draw from trailer lights. With power coming from the vehicle battery that problem is eliminated. And it also adds another level of circuit protection between the trailer and vehicle. You can use wiring harness # 118536 for your 2017 Journey with LED tail lights....

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2010 Dodge Journey with Dual Exhaust
  • For your 2010 Dodge Journey I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 76225. You can see the video of this installation on a 2010 with dual exhaust attached. This will allow you to tow but will also allow you to utilize hitch mounted accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier. I also recommend you get the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118495 for your trailer wiring and then the ball mount compatible...

  • Would Curt Ball Mount C45036 Fit a 2014 Dodge Journey R/T with Curt Hitch Installed
  • Yes, if you had the Curt Class III hitch part # C13201 installed on your 2014 Dodge Journey the ball mount part # C45036 would be a confirmed fit. It would provide you with 2 inches of drop for towing your trailer. If you are unsure of how much drop you need you basically will want to go with the drop that will allow your trailer to be towed as level as possible. I attached a help article on this for more info.

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Dodge Journey
  • I have fit information for trunk racks on your 2013 Dodge Journey, but we do not have any info for the Fiat Freemont although they are the same vehicle essentially. The Thule Passage 3 Bike Rack part # TH911XT that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2013 Dodge Journey and would work well. I attached a review video for you to check out as well. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing...
