Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes, the Curt trailer hitch # 13229 does come with the necessary hardware for installation on your 2005 Dodge Dakota. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation for you.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend 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 mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
And if your Dakota does not already have a trailer connector use # 118323 to add a 4-Way flat to the rear of the truck.
