The Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers # 3020-P that you referenced is a correct fit for your 2000 Dodge Dakota. Since your truck has the factory installed tow package all you will need in addition to the harness is a brake controller, such as the excellent Tekonsha Prodigy P2 # 90885.

This easy-to-use unit offers reliable operation and is among our most popular brake controllers. For you reference I have linked the written instructions as well as a video showing installation in a 2003 Dakota.

Installation requires you to locate the (usually blue) 4-pin connector under the dash and to the left of the brake pedal. This connector is shown in the video at the 1-minute mark. To this blue connector you will attach the white plug from the harness # 3020-P. The other end with the black plug connects to the back of the P2 or other compatible brake controller.

The entire install process is also detailed in the first section of the linked article.
