How Does Brake Controller Install in 2017/2018 Dodge Durango with Factory 7-Way
Question:
Thank you so much for the information. I’m assuming the connection point is behind the hush panel beneath the dash. I’m so glad I found your online advice.

I wasn't sure if you meant 2017 or 2018 Dodge Durango but the good news the fit info applies to both of them. Since you have a factory 7-way at the rear of your vehicle all you need to install a brake controller is the correct install harness part # TK93VR which plugs into a port under the dash.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. This will be the last brake controller you buy. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well.
