Some of the trailer wiring harnesses for your 2019 Dodge Durango have a separate power lead. The reason for this is to avoid the overloading of your vehicle's electrical system. All of the options that require a separate power lead included a power module to power your trailer's lights. LED's use less power to provide brighter lights, but one of the unintended consequences of this is they do not provide enough power for your trailer's lights.

If I have to recommend a trailer wiring harness for your 2019 Dodge Durango, it would be the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector, part # 118617. You will not have to do any wire splicing, it is a plug and play wiring harness.

I have included a product description link and a video installation link below.
