  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2016 Dodge Journey
  • For your 2016 Dodge Journey with LED lighting you would want the Curt trailer wiring harness part # C56330 . Modern vehicles use more delicate turn signal wiring setups that can't handle the amperage load of trailer wiring so you have to use harnesses like what I mentioned so that you can tap into the turn signals and then draw the power from the battery directly. This harness actually installs pretty easily. It installs in line with your vehicle's wiring instead of requiring splicing.

  • Towing Capacity and Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2018 Dodge Journey
  • I took a look at the online owner's manual for your 2018 Dodge Journey. If you have the 2.4L engine you can tow a trailer that weighs up to 1,000 pounds. If you have the larger 3.6L engine the maximum trailer weight is 2,500 pounds (with 1 to 2 people in the vehicle). This capacity drops with more passengers (2,000 pound capacity with 3 to 4 people and 1,500 pounds with 5 to 7 people). I do recommend also verifying this information in your copy of the manual or by checking with your local...

  • We have confirmed with our contacts at Draw Tite that the hitch part # 75648 is a fit for your 2015 Dodge Journey Crossroads so we can guarantee it will fit.

  • 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)....

  • Trasmission Cooler for 2013 Dodge Jorney With 3.6L V6 Engine
  • With your fluid temperatures getting that high I absolutely recommend adding a supplemental transmission cooler to your 2013 Dodge Journey with a 3.6L V6 engine, the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler # D13503. This is a plate-and-fin cooler, which means it uses smaller plates that cover more area than other coolers in order to agitate transmission fluid. Because you cannot over-cool fluids, the rule of thumb with transmission coolers is that size matters so the large 11"...

  • 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.

  • Can Swagman Original Bike Rack 63124 Install on 2009 Dodge Journey
  • As long as you have a 2 inch hitch installed on your Dodge Journey like the Draw Tite # 76225 the Swagman part # S64400 will fit and work well. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level...

  • Ball Mount Recommendation for a 2012 Dodge Journey Towing Scoota Trailer to Tow Level
  • To pick out the correct rise/drop ball mount you need to measure from the bottom of the trailer coupler to the ground with the trailer perfectly level and then measure from the top of the hitch opening to the ground. The difference between those two dimension is the rise/drop you need. It sounds like you measured your correctly already but I just wanted to mention that to be sure we're on the same page. Sounds like you need a rise of right at 1-1/2 inches. The Curt aluminum ball mount...

  • 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...

  • Which Trailer Wiring Harness for 2013 Dodge Journey with LED Taillights
  • The Curt T-Connector, part # C56330 is a fit for your 2013 Dodge Journey with LED lamps. I have confirmed this with Curt. Tekonsha also offers a similar wiring harness, part # 118536. The Tekonsha connector is rated for a higher amperage than the Curt model, and is a bit higher rated by our customers. Because of this, I'd personally choose the Tekonsha connector over the Curt model. Both these connectors will plug inline with the factory wiring harnesses, and would require no cutting or...

  • Towing Capacity and Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2016 Dodge Journey 4 Cylinder
  • According to the vehicle owner's manual the 2016 Dodge Journey with the 2.4 liter 4 cylinder motor has a maximum gross trailer weight capacity of 1,000 pounds and tongue weight capacity of 100 pounds. Based on this you would not be able to tow a 1,700 pound trailer. There aren't a lot of trailers that are under 1,000 pounds so if you have a different tow vehicle with a higher capacity I recommend using it for towing. If you do find a trailer that is within the vehicle capacities then the...

  • Carrier Recommendation For Carrying 3 Wheel Recumbent Bike On 2014 Dodge Journey
  • Due to the size and weight of the three wheel recumbent bike you would not be able to use a trunk mounted bike carrier for your 2014 Dodge Journey. The only option that we currently have for you is the SeaSucker Trike Rack for 1 Trike # 298-BD1005. This rack is made in the USA and uses vacuum cups to mount to the roof of your vehicle, allowing you to carry your trike.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2015 Dodge Journey Crossroads
  • I spoke with my contact over at Curt and he said the old hitch 13335 is not a fit for the Crossroads models because of an exhaust bracket interference issue. The redesigned version, # C13201, will fit both the regular and Crossroads models of the 2015 Dodge journey. If you want to go ahead and replace the hitch with the new version then I also 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...

  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76225 is a confirmed fit for the 2017 Dodge Journey SXT AWD. It is the only trailer hitch we carry from any of our manufacturers that currently is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. I reached out to my contact at Draw-Tite to confirm the fit. I also recommend the Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock 2" Trailer Hitches # 63232 which will lock your ball mount or accessory as well as give it an anti-rattle feature. Let me know if you'd...

  • Recommended Coupler Lock For Adjustable Ball Coupler
  • The HITCH-LOCK Trailer Guard Coupler Lock by Dutton-Lainson # DL13980 is a great option for both keeping your trailer coupler locked in place and deterred from theft. You of course need an external padlock like the Master Lock Padlock # ML1KA for this application. If you are just looking for a lock when the trailer is not coupled, I recommend the Trailer Coupler Lock - Gorilla Guard for 2" Couplers # 63228 or # 63227 in 2-5/16 inch.

  • Recommendation for Locking Side Mounted Trailer Jack and Further Securing Trailer
  • I am not aware of any locking device for a trailer jack keeping it from raising or lowering. Thinking outside the box, you could wrap the handle in place using a lock like # 107KADSPT which would remove the option of raising or lowering the jack with that handle. You can lock the jack from swiveling up or down without much issue. You simply utilize the pin hole locations that aren't being used at the time and run a lock through it. For instance the Bulldog Round, Bolt-Thru Swivel...
