Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2018 Dodge Journey
Question:
What trailer hitch should I get for my 2018 Dodge Journey?
asked by: Bill
Expert Reply:
For your 2018 Dodge Journey the trailer hitch I recommend is the Draw Tite hitch part # 76225 because it has a concealed crosstube which means it will be mostly hidden, has a 2 inch opening which is the most popular size and has best capacities, and because it has the best price too. Check out the review video I attached for more info as well.
For trailer wiring then you'd want the Tekonsha kit part # 118536 for if you have LED taillights or part # 118567 for if you have incandescent lights.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in 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 include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
