  • Solution for Connecting 4-Way on Dodge Journey to 7-Way on Trailer to Power Signal LIghts.
  • If you only need to power the basic signal lights on the trailer you plan on borrowing (and not power/control electric brakes on the trailer if it is equipped with them) then your best option will be to use the Hopkins 4-Pole to 7-Pole Adapter # 37185. This will plug right into the 4-Way flat plug on your Dodge Journey to provide you with a 7-Way connector at the other end to plug into the trailer. If you just need the lights to work then the additional blue, black, and purple wires coming...

  • Need Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness for 2013 Dodge Journey
  • We offer several trailer hitch receivers for the 2013 Dodge Journey. Both 1-1/4-inch Class II and 2-inch Class III hitches are available. Since you intend to tow I recommend a 2-inch Class III hitch as this will provide more capacity, but you can see all available hitches on the link provided. I recommend Draw-Tite # 75648 which includes all required mounting hardware and instructions. It bolts on without need for welding. This 2-inch hitch has a 400-lb tongue weight rating and a 4000-lb...

  • Recommendations To Add a Roof Rack To A 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • Though I do have an option to add a roof rack to your 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan, it will require quite a bit of customization. You may be able to go through Dodge for crossbars that will attach directly to your flush rails, but I am not 100% sure of that, unfortunately. The option we will have will require the removal of the flush rails and then the installation of the Thule Roof Mounted Top Rack System - 54" Long # THTP54. This will end up requiring drilling to get installed, but it will...

  • 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...

  • Could the Curt Vertical Receiver Adapter # C45013 Work on a 2012 Dodge Journey Factory Hitch
  • The Curt Hitch part # C45013 is specifically designed for use with Curt stealth hitches only. Due to pin hole locations, it most likely will not match up with other stealth hitches. But I did attach picture of this product with all of it's dimensions listed. You might compare this drawing to you hitch to see if it would match up.

  • 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"...

  • Towing Capacity and Parts Needed to Tow Trailer with 2013 Dodge Journey Crew
  • I tracked down the online version of the owner's manual for your 2013 Dodge Journey Crew and it lists a towing capacity of 1,000 pounds if you have the 2.4L engine or up to 2,500 pounds if you have the larger 3.6L engine. This particular capacity though is dependent on only having 1 to 2 persons in the vehicle. The capacity goes down as the number of occupants grows: 3 to 4 persons - 2,000 pound capacity 5 to 7 persons - 1,500 pound capacity To set your Journey up for towing you will...

  • Recommended Tie-Down Strap for Cargo Carrier and Lawnmower
  • The etrailer Cam Buckle Cinch Straps w/ Buckle Protectors - 1" x 13' - 293 lbs - Qty 4 # E98876-4 is my recommendation for your cargo trailer and lawnmower. The cam style straps will hold well and will help resist damage that could happen from overtightening a ratchet style strap. The buckle protectors will also help protect paint and plastics.

  • Which Wiring Harness Is Recommended for a 2011 Dodge Journey
  • The correct wiring harness for the 2011 Dodge Journey is the Tow Ready Wiring Harness, part # 118536. This harness is needed because the 2011 model uses LED tail lights. This harness is a universal application, so I have linked the installation instructions below, and I will also describe how to wire the harness to your vehicle. To install the hardwire kit on your vehicle, you will need to use the included circuit tester to locate the brake light circuit behind the vehicle tail light....

  • Weight Distribution and Sway Control for a 2009 Dodge Journey and Forest River Surveyor 180T
  • From what I could find, the trailer weighs about 2,367 pounds dry or 3,500 gross. That puts the tongue weight at about 350 pounds. This information is for a new model. There should be a sticker or plate on the tongue somewhere that lists the weights on it. When choosing weight distribution you also have to add the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle in the tow vehicle to the tongue weight of the trailer when loaded and ready to tow. For a 350 pound tongue weight I recommend...

  • Roof Basket Recommendation for a 2014 Dodge Journey with Factory Crossbars
  • Based on the dimensions you gave me the Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket # RMCB02 would be your best choice. This basket can fit crossbars that are up to 3-1/2 inches wide and are between 24 and 44 inches apart. Your spread of 38.5 inches would work well, and based on the difference between the center to center dimension you gave me and the inside to inside dimension you listed your bars should be 2-1/2 inches wide. Check out the review video I attached. The part # RMCB would...

  • Recommended Wiring Harness for 2013 Dodge Journey
  • I do have a solution for you, however the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118495 referenced in your question is confirmed to work with just the 2010 Dodge Journey. For your 2013 Dodge Journey, I instead recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118536 if your vehicle has LED tailights or # 118567 if you have Incandescent Bulb taillights. Regardless of the which harness you need, these will simply plug into existing wiring behind the driver and passenger side tail lights...

  • 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...

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch # C13201 Fit with Spare Tire on 2016 Dodge Journey
  • The Curt Class III Round Tube Receiver Hitch # C13201 is actually confirmed to fit your 2016 Dodge Journey with the spare tire in place.

I have attached a customer review that speaks a bit about this process on his 2016 Dodge Journey that you can check out along with an installation video. Please let me know if you still have trouble fitting the hitch...
