  • Hitch and Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2014 Dodge Durango
  • For a hitch for your 2014 Dodge Durango you would want the Curt Class III hitch part # C13182. This hitch will be largely out of plain sight on your vehicle when installed and would do a great job for towing. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and...

  • Can Tekonsha OEM Replacement 7-way Connector TK22113 Be Installed On 2018 Dodge Durango W/O Tow Pkg
  • Yes. The Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness w Brake Controller Adapter - 7 Way Trailer Connector # TK22113 you were looking at can still be used on your 2018 Dodge Durango as is was designed for vehicles without the factory tow package like yours. Your vehicles should still have the trailer brake controller port, though it will be taped up near the emergency brake pedal which can make it a little tricky to find. For a trailer brake controller I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy...

  • Trailer Brake Controller for 2005 Dodge Durango
  • I was able to find a picture (seen below) that may help you with locating the blue connector. Remember that it may have a cover or even be wrapped in tape making it hard to identify. If you don't have this connector than your 2005 Dodge Durango SLT does not have the factory tow package wiring. Either way I suggest using the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180. As long as the 7-Way was wired correctly for lights and charge line than this will work with no wiring required...

  • What Roof Accessories are Compatible with 2018 Dodge Durango
  • The great thing about the Rhino Rack roof rack part # RR37GR that you referenced is that the bars are basically compatible with all roof rack accessories made by the popular brands like Thule, Yakima, and Rhino Rack etc. For a fork mounted Rhino Rack bike rack we have the MountainTrail part # RBC035 which would work great, and for a kayak carrier we have the # S510 which is a J-style kayak carrier. If you were looking for something more specific let me know and I'll see what would be...

  • Recommended Compression Fittings For Dodge Durango 2011 Citadel 5.7L Transmission Cooler
  • The insta-dapt comes with all of the Derale kits. It is unfortunately not always a fit as it is a universal adapter. You have a couple options, you can flare the lines you have or I recommend using compression fittings. To ensure you choose the correct compression fitting for your vehicle, you will want to measure the diameter of your transmission lines. The most common size is 3/8 inches, but it would be safe to measure first. I have attached links to the compression fittings that we...

  • How to Balance a Load When Towing With a 2020 Dodge Durango
  • If you are referring to rubber spacers/washers that would install between the frame and the Draw-Tite 76196, allowing it to flex and level out when there is more weight on one side, then we do not. We also highly discourage installing the hitch in this manner. These have specific torque ratings for the install to keep everything secure to the vehicle. If these are not followed, there could be a catastrophic failure while towing a trailer or carrying an accessory, which would be very bad....

  • Can Transmission Fluid Be Cooled Too Much on a 2005 Dodge Durango
  • First, transmission fluid cannot be over cooled so you would not have to worry about that. In the winter time, it would just take longer to warm up. Or you could use a special thermostat adapter, # D15719. This will only allow 10 percent of the fluid to get through until the temperature reaches 180 degrees. You would also need mounting brackets # D25793. For a supplemental cooler, go with the largest one that will fit in the space you have. The most popular cooler for a 2005 Dodge Durango...

  • Where Does Blue Wire of 7-Way Kit for 2015 Dodge Durango Go
  • The blue wire of the 7-way kit part # TK22113 goes to the reverse light circuit of your 2015 Dodge Durango. The good news is that if you trailer does not need a reverse light circuit you don't have to connect this circuit but it's there in case you do.

  • Hitch, Wiring and Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2013 Dodge Durango
  • Lets start with the hitch, for that our most popular hitch with other owners of Durangos is the Curt Hitch part # C13182. This is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch opening with plenty of capacity. I attached an install video for you to check out. Next we need wiring. You will need to start with a 4-way. For that I recommend the Curt Upgraded Trailer Wiring Harness part # C65133. Now you will need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install a brake controller. For that you will...

  • 2015 Dodge Durango R\T Trailer Hitch Recommendation
  • The Curt Hitch part # C13182 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for all models of the 2015 Dodge Durango so it would work well on your R/T model. It will fit with your factory spare as well. It is recommended that you lower it temporarily to install the hitch though. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop....

  • Recommended Highest Rated Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2018 Dodge Durango SRT
  • At this time the highest rated trailer hitch receiver for your 2018 Dodge Durango SRT is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75713 which has a 900lb tongue weight rating and 6000lb trailer weight rating. When using a weight distribution system the tongue weight rating stays at 900lbs but the trailer weight rating gets bumped up to 7500lbs. From what I can find it appears the 2018 Durango has a towing capacity of 6200-8700lbs depending on specific...

  • Recommended Receiver, Wiring, Brake Controller & Hitch For Towing a Travel Trailer With 2020 Durango
  • Yes, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT38MR will give you a receiver that mounts behind the removable tab on your bumper for your 2020 Dodge Durango. Do be sure to check your spare tire size as this receiver will only allow you to keep your spare tire underneath your Durango if it is on a 18" or smaller spare tire. For the wiring you will first need a T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118617 for connecting to your tail lights. This will then connect to the Universal Installation...

  • Integrated Anti-Sway vs Friction Bar Anti-Sway with Weight Distribution System
  • The free-standing friction anti-sway devices like # 83660 can help control trailer sway once it has started but as you note they do NOT allow you to back up the trailer without first releasing their tension control or completely disconnecting them. These also DO NOT provide the same anti-sway effectiveness as the weight distribution (WD) systems that have this feature built into their design. The better systems available today actually operate to prevent sway from starting, rather than...

  • Recommended Towing Mirror Extensions For a 2020 Dodge Durango
  • I recommend the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors # 7070-2 for your 2020 Dodge Durango. I have found that these tend to be the better of the universal towing mirrors available. There is less moving parts than some of the other systems that do tend to fail. And with the adjustable arms it is more easily customized to hug around your mirror. I have linked a video below showing the mirrors being installed on a 2018 Durango so you can see how easily and snug the extensions are fit to the Durango.

  • Selecting Weight Distribution Set-Up for Trailer with 800-lb Tongue Weight
  • A weight distribution/sway control system (WD/SC) added to your trailer will help correct for any rear-end sag in the Durango from the substantial 800-lb trailer tongue weight (TW) as well as stop any trailer sway. As long as you have access to the front of the trailer frame to allow mounting one, you can install a WD/SC set-up. WD/SC system are chosen based on the total tongue weight of the set-up. This includes the actual measured TW of the loaded trailer plus the weight of anything...

  • What Anti-Rattle Device Should I Use For My 2 Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver?
  • The correct anti rattle really all depends on what kind of accessory you are using. If you are using a hollow shank accessory, I recommend using the Curt Anti Rattle Kit Part # C22321. All you have to do is insert the bracket into the shank of your accessory, then insert the threaded hitch pin, tighten it down and your accessory will be as solid as the hitch. You will need to have a wrench whenever you install or remove the accessory. Here at etrailer we use Part # PTW38106-24 in the...
