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

  • Can Weight Distribution Be Used on a Vehicle with Load Leveling Suspension
  • What you will need to do is hitch your trailer up to your 2015 Dodge Durango and do whatever it takes for the suspension to level. If that means you have to drive it around the block that is what you would need to do before setting up your Strait-Line weight distribution system.

  • Recommended Brake Controller and Plug-In Adapter for 2017 Dodge Durango
  • For your 2017 Dodge Durango Citadel with Tow Package, I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake Controller with wiring harness, # 90195. This is a proportional brake controller for 1-4 axle trailers that will apply the same braking pressure to your trailer as is given to the tow vehicle, which in this case is your Durango. The Prodigy P3 has some really nice features like the color LCD screen that makes everything really easy to read and understand. It has great safety features and 3...

  • How to Pick Out a Weight Distribution System for Use with Reese Dual Cam Sway Control
  • We have exactly what you will need, but to get the correct rated components we will first need to know more information.

This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of...

  • Brake Controller Install Kit for a 2000 Dodge Durango with 4-Way
  • You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118381. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well.

  • Sway Control Recommendation for Curt Weight Distribution System on 2014 Dodge Durango Towing Camper
  • I recommend taking a look at the Curt Friction Sway Control, # 17200. This friction style sway control is going to reduce the side-to-side movement of your trailer caused by wind, curvy roads, passing traffic, etc. With any weight distribution system it is a good idea to remove the spring bars and sway control anytime you encounter a tight maneuvering situation (which happens more often when backing up a trailer) to avoid damage to the system. For normal forward travel, including regular...

  • Recommended Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Hitch Adapter
  • It sounds like your 5th wheel trailer already has what it needs and you just need the adapter for the Ram Gooseneck if I understand correctly. If your gooseneck hitch has a round tube, then I recommend the Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter # KPG5-R30IP. If it has the square tube, then I recommend the Ram Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter Inner Tube - Square - 30,000 lbs # KPG5-Q30IP which has a 4 inch tube. Both options have a plate that is 9-7/8 by 9-7/8 inches....

  • For just 2 bikes the only platform style bike rack that is compatible with a travel trailer is the Swagman Platform-Style 2 Bike Rack # S64663.

I've attached some review videos that you can check out.

  • Easy to Install Brake Controller Recommendation for 2018 Dodge Durango
  • Accessing the brake controller install port on your 2018 Dodge Durango isn't too difficult. It's behind the interior panel that's to the left of the emergency brake pedal. I attached a picture that shows this, but we have an even easier solution that doesn't require accessing that nor does it require mounting a brake controller to the dash panel of your vehicle as well. So the easiest to install brake controller that also works really well is the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180. Basically...

I have attached an article on how to accurately measure tongue weight. This system can handle up to 1,000lbs in TW. The above system is rated for 800-1000lbs TW.

  • 7-Way Trailer Connector Recommended for 2019 Dodge Durango
  • You can add a 7-way trailer connector and complete the brake controller wiring by using the Tekonsha OEM 7-way harness, part # TK22113. The harness plugs inline at the connection point between the taillight assemblies and the taillight wiring harnesses on the driver and passenger side. The body harness would be routed under the passenger side of the vehicle to the battery area where the black and red wires connect to the positive battery terminal. The blue wire in the harness connects...

  • Wire Color for Brake Switch Wire on 2003 Dodge Durango for Brake Controller Install
  • When we had the chance to install a brake controller on a similar 2007 Dodge Durango to your 2006 model we probed the wiring at the brake switch with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 and found that the wire color was white with a brown tracer so that is what I would look for. I attached a link to this install video for you to check out for more info as well.
