Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for a 2006 Dodge Durango
Question:
My camper tow vehicle was rear ended and in the shop and wont be ready for our Christmas holiday. My wifes vehicle is a 2006 Dodge Durango and rated to pull our Jayco, but it does not have a tow package. It looks like I will need a receiver, 4 pole wiring harness and adaptor kit to have a round 7 way connector for lights and electric brakes. Is this the way to go? I assume from there, I can use my other vehicles brake controller and Reese weight and sway system that I purchased from you for my 2009 Ram 1500. And of course I need to receive and install it before Christmas.

You are on the right track. First you will need a trailer hitch for your 2006 Dodge Durango. For that the Curt hitch part # 13072 would be a great option and is also rated for use with weight distribution.
For trailer wiring you will need to first start with a 4-way. For that you will want the part # 118390. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well.
