Recommended T-One 4-Pole Wiring Harness for 2011 Dodge Durango Without Factory Tow Package

Question:

Hello, I wanted to know which T connector to get for my 2011 Dodge Durango Express V6. It does not have any wiring for a trailer currently. Thank you!

For your 2011 Dodge Durango without factory tow package I recommend the T-One Wiring Harness # 118552 from Tekonsha.

This 4-pole wiring kit includes a powered converter which acts like a safety switch to protect the internal wiring inside the truck in the event of a bad short or other wiring fault on the connected trailer. It is a lot less costly to replace a trailer harness kit than the internal wiring in your Durango.

This Tekonsha kit installs mostly by just plugging in connectors at the Durango's tail lights and one included wire needs to be routed to the engine compartment for connection to the battery. A helpful article and installation video are linked to illustrate the process.

There is a lower-cost option from Curt, part # C56133, which is easier to install but which does NOT protect your truck's wiring. With this harness a short-circuit could affect the vehicle.
