I tow a camper with a max wet weight of 3750lbs and 375tw with brakes and a WDS. thank you

That is great information thanks so much, and we can get your 2017 Dodge Durango R/T with the factory tow package set up with the 7-way and also the brake controller. I'll go ahead and list out the parts for you first:
- Hopkins 7-and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket w/ Mounting Bracket # HM40975
- Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR
- Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness # RED77FR
The only thing I recommend, in order to protect the connector from moisture, and increase its durability, is using Dielectric Grease for Electrical Connectors # 11755.
And for the brake controller, the Redarc Liberty is an excellent choice for a brake controller as it is simple to use and out of sight due to its control knob, which also keeps a big brake controller unit out of the cab of your Durango. It is a plug-and-play controller as well with the adapter, so you won't have to do any tricky wiring.
