Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendations for a 2015 Dodge Durango
Question:
Is there any difference between 118617 and C56336 ? I have a 2015 Dodge Durango SXT and I was going to purchase the Curt Hitch 87608

Expert Reply:
I will be happy to compare the wiring harnesses for you. Tekonsha wiring harness # 118617 and Curt harness # C56336 both install and function the same way on your 2015 Dodge Durango. The Tekonsha harnesses have proven to be the most reliable but Curt recently redesigned theirs so I would say they are on par with each other. If it were me I would use the Tekonsha harness. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.
Hitch 87608 is actually a discontinued Hidden Hitch brand trailer hitch and is the same as Draw-Tite hitch # 75713 (they even share the same instructions, linked for reference). The comparable Curt hitch is # C13182 so any of these hitches is a fit for your Durango. I have linked videos showing example installations for you.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend 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 a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
