  • Parts Needed to Tow Small Trailer with 2013 Dodge Journey
  • We can help you get setup with basically everything you'd need to tow with your 2013 Dodge Journey but we do not offer small trailers like you'd need so you'd need to find a local trailer shop for that. For a hitch though the Curt part # C13201 is a great option with plenty of capacity and is easy to install if you wanted to tackle it yourself. I attached an install video for more info on this as well. For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # 118536 for if your Journey has LED taillights...

  • Options for Replacing 16 Foot Long Bunk Boards for Pontoon Boat Trailer
  • I have a couple of options for you to replace the bunk boards for your pontoon boat trailer. The first option is to use two sets of the bunk boards that you referenced, CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards, 7 Ft Long # CE27845. If it would work for you to use two sets of these boards, with some space in between each set, this would offer you 14 ft worth of pre-carpeted bunk boards for your trailer. These 7ft boards are the longest pre-carpeted bunks that we currently offer. The other, more...

  • Best 3 Bike Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2011 Dodge Journey
  • The trunk mounted bike rack I would recommend for your 2011 Dodge Journey is the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Rack part # TH56BV. I checked with Thule and this rack has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than 4-6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the cables also last longer. The cables store inside...

  • What Crossbars Do I Need to Install a Rooftop Tent on my 2017 Dodge Journey?
  • I confirmed with my contact at Rhino-Rack that the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 will hold the maximum roof weight of your 2017 Dodge Journey's factory crossbars when not in motion. With my research, I discovered that the roof weight capacity of your 2017 Dodge Journey is 150 pounds. However, this is most likely the dynamic weight capacity (weight capacity while the vehicle is in motion). To find the static weight capacity (weight capacity while the vehicle is stopped),...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2016 Dodge Journey
  • For your 2016 Dodge Journey with LED lighting you would want the Curt trailer wiring harness part # C56330 . Modern vehicles use more delicate turn signal wiring setups that can't handle the amperage load of trailer wiring so you have to use harnesses like what I mentioned so that you can tap into the turn signals and then draw the power from the battery directly. This harness actually installs pretty easily. It installs in line with your vehicle's wiring instead of requiring splicing.

  • Recommended Coupler Lock For Adjustable Ball Coupler
  • The HITCH-LOCK Trailer Guard Coupler Lock by Dutton-Lainson # DL13980 is a great option for both keeping your trailer coupler locked in place and deterred from theft. You of course need an external padlock like the Master Lock Padlock # ML1KA for this application. If you are just looking for a lock when the trailer is not coupled, I recommend the Trailer Coupler Lock - Gorilla Guard for 2" Couplers # 63228 or # 63227 in 2-5/16 inch.

  • Troubleshooting Curt Trailer Wiring on 2011 Dodge Journey that Left Tail Light Stays On
  • What you described sounds like a shorted out converter box. What most likely happened is that your trailer wiring has a short in the wiring somewhere and it shorted out the converter box as what you described is characteristic of a shorted out converter box. What you will need to do is find and fix the short in the wiring and then replace the trailer wiring harness. Look for any cut or exposed wiring and fix as needed. Corrosion can also be the culprit so you'd want to clean that up if...

  • Recommended Pop-Up Trailer Cover for 32 Inch Tall 1993 Coleman Fleetwood Chesapeake Trailer
  • The Adco Pop-Up Camper Cover - Gray - 10' to 12' Long # 290-2892 has dimensions of 144" long x 85" wide x 42" high. This cover has grommets to allow you to use rope for additional tightening around the bottom of your trailer for a more custom fit. This cover will help with some ground clearance, but utilizing the rope will be important to have a good fit. To keep animals from utilizing it as a shelter you may need to use some spray to deter them as they will seek shelter anywhere they...

  • Towing Capacity and Trailer Hitch Receiver Recommendation For 2019 Dodge Journey
  • Based on the information I could find in the owner's manual for your 2019 Dodge Journey if it has the 3.6L engine it has a 2500lb towing capacity with 1-2 passengers and luggage, a 2000lb towing capacity with 3-4 passengers and luggage, and a 1500lb towing capacity with 5-7 passengers and luggage. If you have the 2.4L engine then you are limited to a 1000lb towing capacity. The 2018 and 2019 Journey use the same trailer hitch receivers so I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2010 Dodge Journey
  • The 2010 Dodge Journey has that upper spoiler-like piece with the third brake light in it at the top of the hatch. Because of that there is only one style of trunk mount bike rack I recommend: the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top racks # HRF2 for 2 bikes and # HRF2-3 for 3 bikes. These racks have an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over that spoiler so no weight is put on it (since the spoiler is not meant to support weight). I have included a link to a video that...

The most popular hitch option for your Journey is the Curt hitch, # C13201. If you like the Draw-Tite hitch, # 75648, it will also fit.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2010 Dodge Journey with Dual Exhaust
  • For your 2010 Dodge Journey I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 76225. You can see the video of this installation on a 2010 with dual exhaust attached. This will allow you to tow but will also allow you to utilize hitch mounted accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier. I also recommend you get the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118495 for your trailer wiring and then the ball mount compatible...

  • Vehicle Wiring Harness For Installing A 7-Way and Brake Controller On a 2017 Dodge Journey.
  • For your 2017 Dodge Journey I would recommend using a wiring harness with a converter. The converter protects the factory wiring from becoming overheated due to excess voltage running through the wiring. It does this by acting as a relay, it sees the power going to the taillight and sends power from the vehicle battery to the trailer lights. While there are some kits that will work without a converter on your Journey you will need to make sure it is the right kit for your Journey. I recommend...

  • Best Trailer Hitch for a 2018 Dodge Journey SXT Blacktop Edition
  • There are no exclusions in regards to a trailer hitch for your 2018 Dodge Journey SXT Blacktop Edition. Therefore, I recommend using the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76225 because this is the only option we have for you that maintains a concealed design which simply means that the receiver tube opening is the only part of the trailer hitch that will be visible once installed which you can see from the attached photo. In order to find a local installer you will simply...
