You have assembled a correct group of parts for installing a brake controller in your 2003 Dodge Dakota without a factory tow package.
The controller and harness you referenced, Curt Venturer # C74VV and wiring adapter # C51515, work together. In addition to these you'll need the # ETBC7 brake controller installation kit that you referenced. If your truck does not already have a 4-pole flat trailer connector then the harness you selected, Tow-Ready part # 118329, will be the last item you need. view full answer...
The circuit tester used in the video you referenced, see link, is the Draw-Tite circuit tester, # PTW2993. This tester has a spring-loaded clamp that secures the wire and allows you to easily pierce the wire coating. It does poke a small hole in the wire insulation, but because of the design, the damage to the wire is very minimal. We have a video review of this tester which shows the parts included with the tester and how it is used.

Most tailgate light bars use a 4-pole flat type trailer wiring connector, so the vehicle will need to have such a harness. If the connector on your son's light bar uses a 4-pole flat connector like the one in the linked photo, and if the Dakota has no existing trailer connectors, then the part you referenced, T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118329, is an excellent choice.
You can refer to the linked installation video, which shows a 2001 Dakota. This harness installs easily, by plugging... view full answer...
The easiest way to connect the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR to your 2005 Dodge Dakota with factory 7-way is by using the Tekonsha Wiring # 3020-P with the Redarc to Tekonsha Adapter # 331-TPH-017. This will give you a plug and play installation so you do not have to worry about splicing wiring together.
If you already have the Tekonsha Wiring # 3020-S you will then need the Universal Redarc Wiring # RED69FR to splice with this. This will then connect the Liberty Controller... view full answer...
In order to safely tow your 2006 Dodge Dakota Pickup behind your motor home, you will need a hitch on your motor home, base plates on the front of your vehicle, a tow bar and a few accessories. This Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch part # 31228 is intended for the front of a vehicle for use with snow plows, winches and tow hooks, so that would not work for your application. However, we carry the products you will need to get the job done.
You will need base plates for your vehicle. The Roadmaster... view full answer...
There are 5 items you will need to flat tow a vehicle: base plates, tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. With the tow bar and base plates out of the way we can focus on the rest. But before you do anything else consult the truck owners manual to determine if there are any special requirements, parts, or procedures to flat tow it. I was only able to find information on a 2004 so that may be different so checking your owners manual is key.
For safety cables I recommend... view full answer...
There is not a replacement ball mount available for the Convert-A-Ball Adjustable Cushioned Ball Mount, CAB-UM, but there is what I believe is a better solution to your dilemma.
The Convert-A-Ball Interchangeable Ball Set, item # 906B, would give you the ability to change out balls just as quickly as changing out the adjustable ball mount and would be much easier to store in the vehicle. This kit has 2-5/16 inch and 2 inch balls.
If you need 1-7/8 inch and 2 inch balls the Convert-A-Ball... view full answer...

For a brake controller its easy to recommend the popular and reliable Tekonsha Prodigy P2, part # 90885. Yes, there are less costly units available, but the P2 offers excellent user-friendly features like built-in diagnostics,... view full answer...

You will actually need the Roadmaster base plate to Demco tow bar adapter # RM-032. The adapter # RM-033 does not come with the quick disconnects and # RM-034 is if you had Demco base plates. So the one that you need is # RM-032. view full answer...
The RoadMaster Explorer Tow Bar is a car mounted tow bar so there is no adapter available to adapt it to Blue Ox Base Plates.
The only option available for the 2004 Dodge Dakota with the Explorer Tow Bar is to use RoadMaster base plates. You have 2 options for base plates on that vehicle. If it is 4 wheel drive then you can choose the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, item # 266-1, and if it is 2 wheel drive you can choose the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, item # 271-1.

If you can let me know what brand base rails you have I can definitely see if we have mounting brackets that will match up with your 2000 Dodge Dakota.
According to my research though it looks like the parts are universal fitments so you could just install the B&W Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit # BWRVR3200 which gets you all new hardware, brackets, and rails that match each other so you know everything is fresh and matches. Sometimes there are differences in mounting holes which... view full answer...
It sounds like your 2000 Dodge Dakota did not come with a factory towing package. In order to install a brake controller it will need to be hardwired.
Since you have a 7-Way connector, look to see if there are 7-wires that all lead to somewhere or if there are only 3 or 4. The truck may have had a 4-Way installed at some point and someone added the 7-Way later to match a trailer they were towing.
If this is the case then you will need a brake controller installation kit # 5506 for 6... view full answer...

I have an adjustable ball-mount hitch solution for you. Unfortunately, the Flash E Series Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w Chrome Balls - 2" Hitch # AM3410 does not come with a 1-7/8" ball option. Also, we do not carry any reversible 2-ball assemblies that work with the # AM3410.
With that being said, a great solution is the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 7" Drop, 7-1/2" Rise # BWTS10049B. With the Tow & Stow, you get the 1-7/8" ball with the 2" and 2-5/16" balls. It also allows you... view full answer...

The 2004 Dodge Dakota came with 2 different wiring situations. It could have come with a tow package that included a 7-Way trailer connector, or it did not come with a connector at all. To add a 4-Way to a model that does not have tow package, you would need # 118323 that you have referenced.
I have included a link to the installation details and a link to a video that shows a typical installation. The harness plugs in line with the tail light wiring behind each tail light. view full answer...
