Expert Answers about Dodge Journey


  • Will 8-1/2 Inch Drawbar Generate Trailer Sway
  • A drawbar that is 8-1/2 inches long from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of ball hole is considered the standard length. For most applications, a standard length ball mount will offer the right amount of clearance to couple a trailer to the ball and will not generate trailer sway. I have included a FAQ article about choosing the correct ball mount/drawbar for you to check out.

  • What is Needed to Use Saris Door County Bike Rack on 2018 Dodge Journey
  • So good news is yes, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76225 that fits your 2018 Dodge Journey is 100 percent compatible with the Saris Door County Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - Electric Lift - 2" Hitches # SAR42RR. You could use the Dodge wiring harness, assuming it is a 7-way, but my guess is it's going to be quite pricey compared to aftermarket parts (as is the norm). But to answer your question regarding what is needed for your '18 Journey for the electrical connections,...

  • Correct Size Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars for a 2018 Dodge Journey
  • The correct size Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars for a 2018 Dodge Journey will be dependent on roof configuration. If you have a bare roof then you'll need to use a 60" long bar part # TH711520 along with part # TH480R and part # THKIT1658. If you instead have raised side rails then you'll need to use a 53" long bar part # TH711420 along with part # TH710401.

  • Correct Curt 4-Way For 2020 Dodge Journey With Incandescent Bulbs
  • Nope, the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56330 for your 2020 Dodge Journey is for LED taillights so it won't work with your incandescent lights. The correct 4-way for your '20 Journey is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56109.

  • Can I Put A Front Mount Trailer Hitch On My 2018 Dodge Journey
  • The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2", part # C31033, that fits your 2018 Dodge Durango is not compatible with your 2018 Dodge Journey. Unfortunately, your Dodge Journey is not rated for a front mount trailer hitch. You do have the option of going to a fabricator and having the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver - Weld On - Class V - 2", part # 41990-07, welded onto the frame of your vehicle. I have included a product description link below.

  • Vehicle Trailer Towing Connectors for a 2018 Dodge Journey
  • Although I don't know if your 2018 Dodge Journey already have wiring for the light functions on a trailer, I can let you know how to find that out and offer some solutions for if you don't. To figure out if your Journey has wiring you simply need to check the back of your vehicle and see if there is a 4-Way flat connector that looks like the picture I attached for you. You may also want to check inside the hatch of your Journey as well. If you cannot find a connector then that means you...

  • Installing a Trunk-Mount Bike Rack on 2014 Dodge Journey
  • All trunk-mount bike racks confirmed to fit your 2014 Dodge Journey can be seen on the link provided. All will mount to your Journey's rear hatch in essentially the same manner, with the carrier's lower arm resting on the upper tier of the bumper cover. Please note that your rear wiper cannot be used with any trunk-mount carrier installed. Also note that the fit of bike racks is to a degree vehicle-specific so without knowing what rack you intend to use I cannot confirm its fit. Your Journey...

  • Will T-One Wiring Harness Work on a 2016 Dodge Journey?
  • The T-One Wiring Harness, # 118495, you previously purchased is not a fit on your 2016 Dodge Journey. Your new vehicle will need the T-One harness # 118536. This connector will work as long as you have LED lights, as you mentioned. I have included a video install of this harness on a 2016 Dodge Journey for you to take a look at.

  • Curt Trailer Hitch Installation on 2016 Dodge Journey
  • Some hitches do cause a full-size spare to no longer fit under the vehicle. Vehicles with the smaller donut-type spare tires usually avoid this issue. When we install this hitch on a 2016 Journey that vehicle had a donut spare. I reviewed the instructions for Curt Hitch # C13201 (these are linked for your reference) and while they do note the need to temporarily move the spare tire for hitch installation, no mention is made of the spare no longer fitting after the hitch is installed. It...

  • Would the Upright Bike Rack part # S64720 fit a 2012 Dodge Journey
  • As long as you have a roof rack that has crossbars that are narrower than 3-1/8 inches in diameter the Upright Bike Rack part # S64720 would work well on your 2012 Dodge Journey. If you do not have a roof rack with crossbars that run from side to side on your vehicle you will want to follow the link I attached to the right where you will be able to select your roof style and the correct racks will be listed.

  • Will a Sportrack Vista XL Roof Mounted Cargo Box Install on a 2010 Dodge Journey
  • The SportRack Vista XL Roof Mounted Cargo Box attaches to the factory crossbars using the supplied U-bolts. The U-bolts will accommodate cross bars up to 4 inches in diameter. The factory crossbars will also need to be 25-7/8", 27-7/8", or 29-7/8" apart. You will need to measure the cross bars on your 2010 Dodge Journey to determine if this is compatible with your vehicle. If you do not have a roof rack on your vehicle check out the link I provided that has all of the different roof racks...

  • Does 7-Way of ETBC7L Have to be Mounted to Fascia Using Draw-Tite Hitch 76225
  • Greatly appreciate the nice words, and I wish I could be as helpful here, but the 7-way of the # ETBC7L does have to be mounted to the fascia of your 2018 Dodge Journey when installing the Draw-Tite # 76225. The reason for that is how this specific hitch installs, directly behind the bumper and with the receiver dropping down. So there isn't enough room for a second bracket to stick out either forward or backwards for the bracket of the 7-way to latch onto. There also isn't enough space...

  • Fit of Rightline Gear Cargo Hatch Waterproof Saddlebag RL100B90 on 2012 Dodge Journey SXT
  • Since your 2012 Dodge Journey SXT has factory-installed roof side rails you can use the Rightline Gear Cargo Hatch Waterproof Saddlebag # RL100B90 so long as you have 40-inches between your tail lights. This light spacing matters so that the bag does not block other motorists' view of your brake and turn lights. The waterproof Rightline offers a substantial 13-cubic-feet of cargo volume capacity (and 100-lbs of total cargo weight capacity) so it can handle big loads of camping or other...

  • Can Curt Trailer Wiring for 2016 Dodge Journey be Used with LED Trailer Taillights

  • 4-Way Wiring Harness for 2018 Dodge Journey GT With LED Taillights and Incandescent Turn Signal
  • For your 2018 Dodge Journey I recommend the # 118536 Tekonsha T-One Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector. This wiring harness is a custom fit for your 2018 Journey with LED taillights. It has a quick and easy installation and plugs in to existing wiring. I spoke with Tekonsha and they said that this would be the correct wiring harness even though your turn signal uses an incandescent bulb. I have attached an installation video of the wiring harness on a 2018 Journey for your...

  • Hitch and Wiring Harness for 2010 Dodge Journey
  • The towing capacity of the vehicle itself is based off of the engine and transmission and a number of other factors and not simply just the trailer hitch. Since your Dodge Journey did not come equipped with the factory towing package you should stay under the towing capacity and tongue weight recommendations in the owner's manual for the 3.5 liter engine without towing package. This is the capacity of the Journey as determined by Dodge and unfortunately it cannot be increased by adding...

  • Will Thule Passage 2 Bike Rack # TH910XT Fit My 2009 Dodge Journey
  • Yes, the Thule Passage 2 Bike Rack, # TH910XT, will fit on your 2009 Dodge Journey. The only footnotes are that the rear wiper can not be used when the bike rack in installed and that the lower arm of the bike rack needs to be positioned on the upper tier of the bumper. The # TH910XT bike rack is a 2 bike rack and has a 70 lbs. weight capacity. It has the No-Sway Cage cradles which prevent bike-to-bike contact and bike-to-vehicle contact. The dual support arms fold down when not being...

  • How to Determine if Engine and Transmission Cooler Will Fit
  • The way to find out specifically if the Derale Electra-Cool Combo Engine and Transmission Cooler Assembly w/ Fan # D15200 will fit your 2018 Dodge Journey is going to require some measurements. The reason for this is that these coolers aren't specifically made to fit any specific vehicle, they can be mounted so long as you have the room in your Journey to do so. If you take a look at the cut out I added for you, the directions specify that it can be "mounted anywhere space permits." This...

  • Will Curt Cargo Carrier for 2 Inch Hitches Work on 2018 Dodge Journey?
  • The 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs # C18153 does not come with a hitch pin. You can use the Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches - 2-5/8" Span # 63232 which is my recommendation or a regular hitch pin and clip like # C21500. It will absolutely work well on a 2018 Dodge Journey as long as you have a 2 inch receiver.

  • Issues with Exhaust Making Contact with Hitch on a 2020 Dodge Journey
  • I'm sorry to hear you are having this experience with this hitch # C13201. You can make a few minor adjustments exhaust hangers to allow more space between the exhaust and the hitch. You can do this by rotating the hanger or sliding the hanger on the pins so that it is further away from the hitch. We have not had many issues with this hitch making contact with other components on the 2020 Dodge Journey.
