Recommended Trailer Hitch And Running Boards For 2017 Dodge Durango GT.
Question:
Hi, Will the DZ16201-16241 running boards fit my new 2017 Dodge Durango GT? Also, does the CURT 13182 trailer hitch fit?

For your 2017 Dodge Durango GT, the DeeZee NXc Running Boards with Custom Installation Kit - 5" Wide - Aluminum - Black Powder Coat # DZ16201-16241 are a confirmed fit. There is no drilling required as brackets bolt into existing holes in the vehicle rocker panels.
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III - 2" # C13182 you mentioned is also a confirmed fit for your vehicle. This hitch is not compatible with tow hooks, so if present, they will be permanently removed.
If you will be towing with this hitch, I recommend the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 3" Drop, 3-1/2" Rise - 10K - Black, # BWTS10047B, which will give you all 3 sizes of hitch balls along with the adjustability to haul different trailers level with a 3 inch drop and 3-1/2 inch rise. This hitch also stores the ball behind the shank to save your shins when not in use.
For wiring, I recommend the Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness w Brake Controller Adapter - 7 Way Trailer Connector, # TK22113. This wiring harness connects behind each of your tail lights to factory clips. The power wire is run to your car battery and this modulite protects your factory wiring in your vehicle. This kit includes the adapter to plug in an electric brake controller, like # 90195 to make you tow ready for a trailer with brakes.
If you need further recommendations, let me know and I'd be happy to help.
