• The Demco # DM9713093 would be delivered partially assembled.

Assembling the dolly requires basic hand tools and is uncomplicated if the instructions are closely followed. Someone...

• Trailer Hitch With Best Clearance That is Most Hidden for 2014 Dodge Journey
• The trailer hitch that is both the most hidden and has the best ground clearance for your 2014 Dodge Journey is the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76225. The reason for this is because it has a fully concealed crosstube and installing it requires cutting the fascia, as you can see by the accompanying photo. The way this installs makes the receiver sit up higher compared to other hitches, including the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12134 you referenced. I definitely recommend the Draw-Tite...

• Recommendation for Trailer Wiring Harness on 2011 Dodge Journey
• On a 2011 Dodge Journey the hitch wiring does not run to the rear of the vehicle, and the vehicles wiring is not designed to handle the draw of the trailer lights when using a T-One wiring harness that will just plug into the vehicles taillights. You will need a wiring harness that will use a powered converter and have a separate power wire that runs directly to the vehicles battery. The correct wiring harness for the 2011 Dodge Journey with LED lights is the Tow Ready Wiring Harness,...

• Connection 12 Volt Power Wire for 7-Way on a 2009 Dodge Journey
• Whether you are talking about the 12 volt power wire from a 4-Way powered converter or the 12 volt circuit from a 4- to 7-Way adapter, such as # 37185, they both connect to the vehicle positive battery terminal. It sounds like you are talking about the 7-Way so for it you will need a 40 amp circuit breaker, # PK54540, and enough wire, # 12-1-1, to reach from the front of the vehicle to the rear. You would change the number in the quantity box on the wire page to the amount of feet needed....

• Finding Location To Attach Ground Wire For Hopkins Backup Sensor System On 2015 Dodge Journey

• Does the Prodigy RF Brake Controller Need 12 Volt Power in 7-Way to Work
• The Prodigy RF brake controller # TK94FR requires 12 volt power and the brake light signals to function in the 7-Way in order to work. On the 7-Way you have there should be a black wire which will be for 12 volt power. Using about 25 feet of wire # 12-1-1 (sold by the foot) attach one end to that black wire, route the wire under the vehicle, avoiding areas that can pinch or burn the wire such as suspension and exhaust components, and up into the engine compartment over near the battery.

• Should the Trailer Hitch or Trailer Wiring be Installed First on a 2014 Dodge Journey
• Installing the wiring harness # 118536 first on your 2014 Dodge Journey could make it easier. This is because you will need to route a connector from the left side of the vehicle to the right side. The hitch could potentially get in the way. Take a look at the video I have linked showing installation of the wiring on a Journey. Notice that the hitch is installed in this video and it wasn't really in the way. Ultimately I don't think it is going to matter which you install first. You could...

• Finding the Brake Light Switch on a 2010 Dodge Journey to Wire a Brake Controller
• Finding the stop light wire to connect to a brake controller can be tricky depending on the vehicle. Especially if there is very little space in which to work. You will start by locating the brake light switch under the dash and above the brake pedal. There should be several wires running to it. I have included a picture that shows what it might look like. Using a circuit tester, like # PTW2993, test each wire until you find the one that has a signal ONLY when the brake pedal is pressed....

• Correct Wiring Harness for a 2012 Dodge Journey SXT
• I spoke with my contact at Tow Ready and verified that your 2012 Dodge Journey SXT will not have to be reprogrammed if you install the Tow Ready T-One Wiring Harness, # 118536.

This wiring harness will only fit the 2012 Dodge Journey and it will not fit the 2009 to 2011 Journeys. I know some Dodge vehicles will come with a factory trailer connector tucked...

• How to Install a Prodigy RF Brake Controller in a Vehicle with a 4-Way
• To install the Prodigy RF in a vehicle and use the part # ETBC7 is pretty easy as you only have to run the black wire from the 7-way to the positive terminal of the battery. Since you don't necessarily need everything that comes with the # ETBC7 you may be better off just getting the # 37185, some 10 gauge wire # 10-1-1 (sold by the foot), and a circuit breaker # 9510 since that is all you would need.

• Using Trailer Brake Assembly on Opposite Side of Trailer
• The brake assemblies are specific to the correct side of the trailer, a right hand brake assembly could not be used on the left side of the trailer. The assembly should be mounted so the magnet is at the bottom and the larger of the two brake pads is pointing to the rear of the trailer. I've heard of folks mounting the assembly upside down on the opposite side of the trailer, but the brake assembly will never work correctly if installed that way.

• Is Fascia Trimming Required to Install a Trailer Hitch on a 2010 Dodge Journey RT
• I did some checking and Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75648 does not indicate that any fascia trimming is required to install it on a 2010 Dodge Journey RT. The hitch is listed as a fit for all models of the 2010 Dodge Journey. We have also not heard any customer complaints about rear fascia trimming on RT or any models.
