Will the Tekonsha Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness Fit a 2018 Dodge Durango W/O Trailer Wiring
Question:
There should be a bracket to attach to the left of the opening for the ball mount to which the receptacle can be secured but says that no bracket was included with either the hitch receiver or the wiring harness. Should a bracket have been included? If not, is such a bracket available or should the receptacle be attached directly to the receiver?

The Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness w Brake Controller Adapter part # 22551 is specifically designed to be used with a 2018 Dodge Durango that did not come with trailer wiring. The harness offers almost an entirely plug and play installation that will not require you to splice any wires.
If you also need a brake controller I recommend using the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 as this is our top of the line best selling brake controller. The popularity of this controller is due to it's easy to use display, integrated safeguards, and LCD screen.
I have attached a review video of both the harness and controller for you as well.

I have a 2018 Dodge Durango GT with a Draw-Tite 76196 Installed. I would like to install trailer wiring harness that support a 4 way and 7 way connector. Would also be able to add a brake controller in the future. What parts do you recommend?
