Solution for Connecting 7-Way Trailer Connector to Aftermarket Trailer Hitch on 2005 Dodge Durango
Question:
This is to replace a factory original hitch, however the factory hitch included a 7 pin blade socket. THIS part has no opening, bracket, or any other provision for the towed vehicles electrical connection. Please advise.

The aftermarket Draw-Tite Class III Max-Frame Trailer Hitch # 75292 does not come with a built-in bracket to install the factory 7-way trailer connector. To attach this connector to the aftermarket hitch, I recommend using the Curt No-Drill Bracket, Long # C57202 and the Mounting Bracket and Installation Hardware # 18138. These brackets will allow you to install the 7-Way connector on the new trailer hitch without needed to drill into the vehicle's fascia to install a mounting bracket.
An installation video is attached for you that will give you an idea of how the plate and mounting bracket are installed.
If you need a replacement 7-Way connector for your 2005 Dodge Durango with factory tow package, the Hopkins Endurance Quick-Install # HM42190 is a great option.
