Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2012 Dodge Charger

Question:

I am am confused as to what I need to order as far as having a light hookup at the hitch for any light duty trailer I plan on pulling. I am going to order the hitch from you but also wanted to wire it. The ones I am seeing seem awful complex? Does the plug get attached to the hitch frame? Any help would be appreciated Thanks

For your 2012 Dodge Charger you would want a Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring # 118560 like you referenced, or you could get a Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56135.

I attached a copy of the installation instructions for the # C56135 for you to check out, but to install it you will basically need to access the tail light harnesses of both your driver and passenger side taillights and plug the connectors from the # C56135 inline with those harnesses. You will then need to run the wire with the ring terminal to the fuse block that is near the spare tire. Nothing gets attached to the hitch.

When the 4-way is not in use it will be stored in the trunk area of your vehicle. When you want to use it you will open the trunk, connect the 4-way to your trailer and then shut your trunk on the wires of the 4-way.
