Hi, Im getting ready to set up my 2015 Dodge Durango R/T for towing. Do you have any videos on installing the base plate and light wiring? Thanks

The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2411 that you were looking at is confirmed to fit your 2015 Dodge Durango, whether or not it features Adaptive Cruise Control. We haven't had a chance to install this particular kit, so we don't yet have a video available. I did attach the full install manual though that you can look through for reference. I have also attached an image that shows what tools you will need to have on hand.
For a lighting solution on the Durango I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 4-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15247. We do have an install video for this on your 2015 model Durango, which I have attached below, and it will work perfectly to illuminate the vehicle's signal lights in correspondence to those on the RV during travel. All the needed hardware is included.
In addition to a base plate kit and wiring, you will also need a tow bar, safety cables, and a supplemental braking system to safely flat tow your Dodge Durango. Just in case you don't already have these components I will quickly list my specific recommendations and attach videos on each as well.
Tow Bar - Blue Ox Alpha # BX7380 (safety cables are included)
Supplemental Braking System - Brake Buddy Select 3 # HM39524
