• Recommended 4-Way Wiring Harness for a 2023 Dodge Durango
• To add a 4-Way wiring harness to your 2023 Durango, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C56336. This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your Durango's wiring harness behind the tail lights. It will provide you with a 4-way vehicle connector that will control your trailer's lights. I have linked an installation video below to help you get this harness installed.

• Is the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch for a 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan Strong Enough to Tow Utility Trailer
• It really just depends on the weight of the trailer. The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36296 that you referenced has towing capacities of 3,500 gross trailer weight and 300 lbs tongue weight. You will need to know the gross trailer weight and tongue weight of the trailer you plan on towing and as long as it does not exceed the capacities of the # 36296 and the towing capacities that are listed in the owners manual of your 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan you would be good. I attached an installation...

• How is the Height Measurement Calculated on the Demco Recon DM8550045
• I spoke to Demco about the height settings on the Recon # DM8550045, and it will be from the bed of your truck to the absolute top of the head. With your measurement being 15-3/4", the middle 17-1/4" setting or top 18" setting will be the way to go. I can also say that the # DM8550045 will fit your current B&W Turnover Ball Gooseneck hitch as long as you are not using a high-rise type ball. With you saying that your ball measured 4 inches tall, however, it is not this style and you will...

• What is the Mounting Hole Pattern for Dexter 6K Electric Trailer Brake Assemblies
• The mounting holes are actually closer to 2-1/8 inches for the closest ones and 3 inches for the bottom 2 holes on brake assembly # 23-105 and # 23-106. I have included a picture showing the measurements. It is very close and you could call it 2 inches but the brakes fit a standard 5-bolt mounting flange such as # 4-44-1.

• 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Mounting Slot Dimensions for Valley Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Adapter Plate
• The slots on the Valley Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Adapter Plate, # V70881, measure approximately 20-1/2 inches apart on center from side to side.

• Type and Size of Wheel Studs Used on Dexter Hub/Drum # 8-174-5UC3
• The Dexter Hub/ Drum Assembly you referenced, part # 8-174-5UC3 uses 9/16 x 3 screw-in wheel studs, like part # 25-11. We do not offer a 1/2 x 3 screw-in wheel stud, nor do our suppliers offer one. To remove the wheel studs, you would use two lug nuts jammed together, like a reverse of the procedure shown in the video I will link you to.

• Does Length of Ball Mount Affect Tongue Weight on Hitch Ball
• The length of the ball mount used in a trailer hitch does not affect the amount of tongue weight (TW) applied to the hitch ball by the trailer, but it does affect the amount of stress applied to the hitch's receiver tube by the ball mount. A very long ball mount would apply MORE pressure to the hitch tube than a shorter one, much in the same way that adding a cheater bar to a tire iron (to make it longer so you have more leverage) will allow you to put more pressure on the lug nut. This...

• To install a 7-Way harness on your 1996 Dodge Ram without the factory connector, you will need two separate wiring harnesses because they don't make just one that'll do the job.

• How Much Does the Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Rack Weigh
• The Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # S63360 weighs 25-lbs and it's a great choice; Swagman really makes nice back racks as you can see from all the 5 star reviews. This rack will tilt away from your vehicle to allow you to open the rear cargo hatch with the rack still installed. Since this rack does not come with any locks you may want to also add the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Swagman Bike Racks w/ 1-1/4" & Combo Shanks - 7' # S64031, which...
