Expert Answers about Dodge Dakota


  • How To Control The Electric Brakes On A Trailer Being Towed By Multiple Trucks With Air Brakes
  • The Hayes Air Brake Control, part # HA100400C, is designed for use with air brake systems of tow vehicles and automatically operates electric trailer brakes in synchronization with air brakes. So, it will do what you're wanting. However, it is not designed to be used as a temporary braking solution, so the installation requires tapping into the vehicle's air lines. I wish there was an easily transferable solution that would do what you're wanting, but there isn't any type of adapter or...

  • Availability of 1-7/8 Inch Trailer Ball w/ 1 Inch Diameter Shank
  • The shank diameter of the trailer ball needs to match the hole diameter of your ball mount, which can be accomplished a few different ways. You could use a ball with a 3/4 inch shank like # 19256 as long as you used a reducer bushing like part # C21100. Another option would be to use a 1-7/8 inch ball with a 1 inch diameter shank like part # 19260. What might be the best option would be to use an interchangeable ball system like the Convert-A-Ball # 903B. This system includes a 1 inch...

  • What are the Specifications of the Swift Hitch Portable Back Up Wireless Camera System # SH02DIGITAL

I included a video for you as well.

  • Recommended Trailer Brake Controller For 2004 Dodge Dakota Towing Small Travel Trailer
  • For your '04 Dodge Dakota I highly recommend the Tekonsha BRAKE-EVN # TK63VR. This controller is one of the best bang for your buck options on the market as you get a very reliable proportional controller for quite a bit cheaper than the rest of the controllers like it on the market. Being proportional is a big deal as that's what allows the controller to match the braking to the trailer to the braking you're applying to your truck for a super smooth and safe stop each time. Since you...

  • 2003 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab Bumper Replacement
  • I have a bumper solution for you, but the part # 63000-93800 that you referenced will NOT fit the quad cab models of the 2003 Dodge Dakota. Instead you would want the part # 31012 as it has been confirmed as a fit.

  • Replacement Suspension Air Bag for 2000 Dodge Dakota Extended Cab with 4wd
  • I have a solution for you, but the Firestone # F2445 kit you were looking at is not a fit for your 2000 Dodge Dakota. It sounds like you have an AirLift system because of the straight sided bag-Is it possible that the Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL59501 is what you have? If so, you can use the Replacement Air Spring for Air Lift SlamAir or Ride Control - Qty 1 # AL50203 to replace the damaged bag on your Dakota. There are no AirLift kits confirmed for your truck...

  • Is There a SportMaster Replacement Cover for 2003 Dodge Dakota SLT Quad Available
  • We do not carry any SportMaster products nor have we, so we will not have any replacement parts for their products. From what I can tell looking into the SportMaster covers they appear to no longer be around in business. If you do not have any luck finding a replacement tarp still available you can get a new cover here like the Access TonnoSport Soft, Roll-Up Tonneau Cover # A22040149. This cover is made in the USA and has EZ-Dials for cover tension adjustment, a trigger latch to secure...

  • Availability of Custom Towing Mirrors for the 2008 Dodge Dakota
  • We have several universal fit towing mirrors that would work well for your Dakota, but no custom slip on mirrors like the # CTM3000 you mentioned. Two of our best sellers are the K-Source Universal Clip-On mirror, part # KS3891 and the Cipa Deluxe Door Mount Mirror, part # 11650. The mirrors are sold individually, and can be used on either the driver or passenger side of the vehicle. I have linked you to some product demonstration videos featuring the mirrors I recommended.

  • Availability of Tailgate Assist for 2004 Dodge Dakota
  • I checked the confirmed fits for each of the tailgate assist products we offer, all of which can be seen on the link at right. None of the DeeZee products are designed for the Dakota; my DeeZee contact confirmed this. However, I also checked with my contact at Hopkins, maker of the Tailgate EasyLift # 74211. He confirmed this will work on Dakotas up through the 2007 model year.

  • Availability of Class IV Hitch for 2008 Dodge Dakota
  • Most Class III hitches will have a Weight Carrying Capacity and a Weight Distribution Capacity. There is not a Class IV hitch available for the 2008 Dakota, but the Curt Class III receiver, part # 13230 has an 8000 lb capacity when used with a weight distribution system. The W/D system will use leverage provided by spring bars to transfer a portion of the trailer tongue weight to the front axle of the tow vehicle, thus allowing the hitch to bear more weight. Although the hitch is rated...

  • Availability of Hitch for a 2001 Dodge Dakota with Dual Exhaust
  • We have several hitches that are confirmed fits for your 2001 Dodge Dakota. I spoke to my contact at Curt and he said whether the hitches will fit with your after market dual exhaust depends whether the pipes come straight out behind the truck or whether they are are angled. If they are angled you should not have a problem. Also the hitches will not fit if you have the factory or aftermarket fascia, or roll pan or tube bumper. I have included a helpful link to those hitches. A popular...

  • Curt Hitch for 1991 Dodge Dakota
  • None of our hitch manufacturers offer a Class II hitch with a 1-1/4 hitch opening for the Dodge Dakota, but if you were wanting that size because you had a hitch mounted accessory which needs that size receiver, you can simply use a 2 inch Class III receiver like the Curt # C13280 and a reducer sleeve like part # HT02 which will reduce the receiver size down to a 1-1/4.
