  • Replacement Parts for Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution System
  • Based on your photo, it appears you have the dual cam system of the Reese Strait-Line. I researched your trailer to find a GVWR of 5895. Based on this, we can make some calculated assumptions on the tongue weight. The tongue weight of a trailer is typically 10 to 15%, so that would put you at 590 to 885 lbs. That will make the correct system the Strait-Line Weight Distribution System w Sway Control # RP66084. For the replacement parts you will want the following: Replacement Head...

  • Roof Rack Options For 2014 Dodge Durango Naked Roof
  • You have several options to choose from. If you are wanting a flush fit, without any over hang of the crossbars, then I suggest the Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack with Vortex Aero Crossbars Part # RR35SR. Its black aluminum construction gives it a sleek factory look, and the roof rack has built in locks to prevent theft. Another great feature is the Aero Crossbars, giving you many different options when choosing cargo baskets or other carriers. If you do not mind the over hang of the crossbars...

  • 2014 Dodge Durango Tow Mirror Recommendation
  • While we don't have custom fit tow mirrors for your 2014 Dodge Durango we do have universal style mirrors that we know fit well and recommend highly. I recommend the K-Source Dual View Tow Mirror part # KS3990 for your vehicle. We know these fit your Durango well as we had the chance to install them on a similar 2018 Dodge Durango. See attached install video link. The dual lens feature is really nice too since it basically gives you a third angle that you can view behind you when towing.

  • Troubleshooting No Running Lights on 2005 Dodge Durango Trailer Connector
  • Try checking fuses 7 - 10 on your 2005 Dodge Durango as they are all for the parking (running) lamps. If all of them look okay then what you need to do is either trace the wire for your trailer running lights from your 4-Way/7-Way and replace/repair anything that is in bad shape or you can run new 16 Gauge Wire # 16-1-1 from your trailer connector to those functions either at the front of your Durango or by the OEM lighting at the rear. It may be helpful to install a diode like part #...

  • Replacement Brackets for Westin Grille Guard on 1999 Dodge Durango
  • The only full Westin grille guard we carry for the 1999 Dodge Durango is part # 40-0145 and its replacement brackets are part # 40-014PK. If instead you just have the Safari light bar, part # 30-0005-1085 or # 30-0000-1085 then instead use part # 30-1085 for the brackets. If the guard you have doesn't appear to be any of these send me some pictures of it and I'll see if I can track down which model you have and its replacement brackets.

  • Does 2018 Dodge Durango Need to be Flashed to Install Brake Controller
  • While I don't know off-hand whether or not you'll have to get your 2018 Dodge Durango flashed to use a brake controller like the P3 # 90195 with the Adapter # TK93VR, there is an easy way to figure that out. At the very least you should see the 12V power pin active, but if you plug in your trailer and the lights are working then you shouldn't have to take your Durango in to a dealer. If you don't have a trailer then you can use a circuit tester like part # PTW2979 to test your 7-Way pin...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2015 Dodge Durango SXT with LED Tail Lights
  • I recommend Tow Ready trailer wiring harness # 118617 for your 2015 Dodge Durango SXT with LED tail lights. This wiring harness plugs in line with the vehicle tail light wiring but draws power for the trailer lights from the Durango's battery. Since the power for the trailer lights comes from the battery and not through the tail light connections it won't harm the LED lights on the Durango. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation for you as well as a link to the...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution/Sway Control System for 3500-lb Camper Trailer
  • Apart from the white-knuckle sway effects from sudden wind gusts and air blasts from passing semi trucks, there are some other basic considerations to help you decide if and when you need a sway control system for your trailer set-up. The linked article on weight distribution/sway control (WD/SC) systems may help you on this point. Although we do offer basic friction style sway control devices like # 83660 and # 17200 that can help counteract trailer sway these are not going to be able...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Brake Assemblies that Sound like they are Activating in Reverse
  • The issue is not brake controller related since it persisted when the controller was disconnected. If I were you I would jack the trailer up in the air to see if the wheel can be turned by hand in either direction. You should feel a slight drag on the drums as you do so as that's the proper brake assembly adjustment. To see how to manually adjust trailer brake assemblies check out the video I attached, fast-forward to the 4:35 mark of the video. If the problem persists you'd want to...

  • Upgrading 1,000 lb Tongue Weight Equalizer System to 1,200 lb System Recommendation
  • If you have a 1,000 lb tongue weight Equalizer like part # EQ37100ET and your trailer has a tongue weight of 810 lbs this would be an ideal setup. Now realistically your tongue weight is going to be a bit more once the trailer is loaded so swapping to 1,200 lb spring bars like part # EQ90-01-1299 would be the best overall solution.

  • How To Determine The Total Tongue Weight Of My Trailer For Weight Distribution

This can be done by using a tongue weight scale such as the Trailer Tongue Weight Scale part # e99044 to measure your trailers loaded ready to tow tongue weight. In addition to the trailer's tongue weight, you will also need to add any cargo stored behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle in order to determine your towing setups total tongue weight.

  • Using A Thule Bike Adapter Bar Correctly
  • You will always have trouble loading the second bike if your first bike is placed on the rack at that angle. The Thule Bike Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes, part # TH982XT, should be used around the stem and the seat post of your bike. I am guessing that your quick release seat post collar, I can see it in the photo, loosened and that is what caused the original problem. If your quick release post is tight you should not have a problem putting the frame adapter around...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2024 Nissan Rogue
  • To add a hitch for a bike rack to your 2024 Nissan Rogue, I recommend the etrailer item # e93ZR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Nissan with included hardware. It is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver so it will work great with most bike racks on the market. It also has a 525 lbs maximum tongue weight so you will have plenty of capacity. I have linked an installation video below so you can see how to get this hitch set up.

  • Replacement Trailer Taillight Assembly Lens for 2016 Wildwood Forest River 21 RBS
  • The number on the lens is how the lens is rated, not a part number. But lens # 30-92-012 has the same lens rating as what you have described and based on pictures I have seen of the 2016 Wildwood Forest River 21 RBS 5th wheel trailers it is the same light so this lens will work.

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for 2014 Dodge Durango and 5K Wolf Pup Trailer
  • To choose a weight distribution system you will need to go by the total tongue weight of the set up. This is calculated by taking the tongue weight of the trailer, when loaded and ready to tow, and adding to that the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. Trailer tongue weight is usually 10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight. The 437 pounds could be the dry tongue weight since it is less than 10 percent of the 5,000 pound gross trailer weight. So if we...
