• What is the Difference Between Max Carrying Capacity and Weight Distribution Capacity
  
• Absolutely, I am here to help! The max carrying weight of a hitch is how much the hitch can pull if you were to just hook your trailer up to the hitch and not use a weight distribution system. The Gross Trailer Weight or GTW of this hitch is 5,000 lbs. and the Tongue Weight or TW of this hitch is 500 lbs. The GTW is how much weight the hitch can pull behind it and the tongue weight is the downward force that the tongue of the trailer applies to the hitch of the tow vehicle. So the hitch...

• How to Determine if a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee has a Factory Tow Package
  
• The most definite way to determine if you have a tow package or not is to contact a Jeep dealership and give them your VIN number. They will be able to tell by looking at your VIN number whether or not you have the tow package. If you have a factory installed trailer hitch with either a 4-way trailer connector or a 7-way connector then you have the towing package also. The connector should be under the rear bumper on the driver side. If you find that you do not have the towing package...

• Wiring 2007 Dodge Ram 3500 For Installation of Flat Bed
  
• We don't offer a direct part, but I know how you could fabricate a pigtail. You'd need part # 118381 that would plug inline with the harness that plugs into the rear of the 7-way. You could simply cut the 4-pole off and wire the yellow wire to the left turn, the green wire to the right turn, ground the white wire and run the brown wire to the running light and jumper it over to the running light on the other side. This set up would provide you with a quick disconnect. You'd need to wire...

• Correct Tow Wiring Harness for 2008 Jeep Liberty
  
• If your Liberty was equipped with the tow package, it will have the 7-way trailer connector on the rear of the vehicle. Part # 118381 would plug inline with the wiring harness leading to the 7-way. Since you do not have the factory hitch, you probably do not have the tow package and would want to use part # 118554. Installation is pretty simple. Access the rear of the tail light assemblies, plug the connectors inline with the existing connections behind the tail lights, and run the power...

• How Do You Determine If a 2006 Jeep Liberty Has the Tow Package Wiring?
  
• With your 2006 Jeep Liberty, the factory tow package wiring is not easy to distinguish. If you have a factory 7-way that makes it easy as you know that the tow package wiring is there. The main difference between the tow package and no tow package is the wiring for the tow package gives you the rectangular connector under the vehicle that the 7-way # HM42190 plugs into. You can also use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118381 which plugs into the...

• Which Trailer Wiring Harness Fits a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with Factory Tow Package
  
• In 2004, the Jeep Grand Cherokee either came with a factory installed 7-Way harness at the rear of the vehicle or no trailer connector. The towing prep package may not necessarily include the 7-Way but it could still have the tow package. This sounds like the case for your vehicle. Since it states that it has the towing package, then you will need Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118381, that you have referenced. You will need to locate the factory wiring harness behind the bumper...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch To Tow 2 Horse Trailer with 2004 Dodge Ram Truck
  
• With the trailer load you will be carrying, using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 13333, would put you near or slightly over the tongue weight capacity of the hitch, which is 600 lbs. If you were to use a weight distribution system when carrying your horse trailer you would be ok to use the Curt # 13333 Hitch. Tongue weight is calculated to be about 10 to 15 percent of the Gross Trailer Weight. I would recommend using the Curt Class V Trailer Hitch, part # C15409. This hitch...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Connector on 2003 Dodge Ram 3500
  
• When you say that everything works fine, are you referring to the lights on the truck, or the lights on a trailer when its plugged in? If the problem is with the lights on the trailer, unplug the trailer and use a circuit tester like part # 40376 on the trailer connector as each lighting function is activated. This will help determine if the wiring problem is on the truck or in the wiring on the trailer. If you find the problem is on the vehicle wiring, the easiest course of action...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Lights Not Working with Wiring Harness # 118381 on a 2002 Dodge Durango
  
• First, in order to use Trailer Wiring Harness, # 118381, your 2002 Dodge Durango will need to be equipped with a factory tow package. If it does have a factory tow package, check the owners manual to find the fuses and/or relays related to the tow package to determine if anything is missing or needs to be replaced. If the Durango does not have a tow package, you will need to use a different wiring harness, # 118334. This harness plugs in line with the vehicle tail light wiring. I have...

• How to Install a Brake Controller in a 2005 Jeep Liberty
  
• To install a brake controller in your 2006 Jeep Liberty with a factory 7-Way you will need to hardwire the wires from the back of the brake controller to the vehicle. This vehicle does not have a brake controller port that you can plug the brake controller into. I am including a link to the installation instructions for the Prodigy P2 brake controller # 90885. This is our most popular brake controller because of how easy it is to set up and how well it works. The four wires on the back...

• Recommendation for a Trailer Hitch that Bolts to Bumper Support on a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500
  
• You are correct, your 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 does have a bumper support at the back that attaches to each frame rail with a support in the center that rests under the step bumper so you can place a hitch ball. The Curt Trailer Hitch, # 13333, that you have referenced attaches to the bumper support and uses the ball hole as an attachment point also, so it is compatible with your truck. The hitch can be used with weight distribution. I have included a link to the installation details for...

• Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for 2005 Jeep Liberty
  
• Of the three harnesses you mentioned, the # 118381 wouldn't work unless your Liberty has the OEM 7-way connector. The # 118381 would plug inline between the 7-way connector and the vehicle wiring harness. If your Liberty does not have the factory 7-way, your choices would be between the Tow Ready # 118524 and the Curt # C55382. Both harnesses would install in the same manner, plugging inline at the point where the taillight assemblies plug into the vehicle wiring. I'd recommend the...

• How to Wire a Itasca Navicon Motorhome with Valley 7-Way Wiring for Flat Towing a Jeep

• Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2005 Jeep Liberty
  
• If your 2005 Jeep Liberty has a factory tow package, you could use either the Hopkins harness, # 42475, or the Tow Ready harness, # 118381. The vehicles with a tow package have a factory connector made to add a wiring harness. Both products will perform equally as well. But if your Liberty did not come with a tow package, you will need to use Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118524. This is a circuit protected powered converter which is required to protect the sensitive electrical...

• Does Curt Trailer hitch # C13280 Install the Same on a 2002 Dodge Dakota as Shown In the Video
  
• Yes, though there may be some cosmetic difference in what you see in the video for the 1999 Dodge Dakota, installation on your 2002 Dakota Quad Cab will be the same. I have included a link to the video and to the installation instructions for you to view. To complete your towing set up, I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit, # 989900. For trailer wiring, use # 118329, if the truck does not have a tow package. If the truck does have a tow package and you want to convert it to a 4-Way,...

• Recommend Towing Components To Tow 4400 lb Travel Trailer With My 2003 R/T Durango
  
• Weight distribution systems and vehicle enhancement options are not usually recommended to be used in conjunction since they can cancel each other out. I would recommend a weight distribution system to help reduce vehicle sag. For a weight distribution system, you want to select a weight distribution system that falls within the tongue weight of your trailer which is 10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight when it is loaded and ready to be towed. You will want to make sure...

• Will a 2007 Dodge Ram and 2005 Ford Trailer Connectors Match to Tow the Same Trailer
  
• Wiring the trailer to match the pin out on the 2007 Dodge Ram should allow it to work with the 2005 Ford as well. The reason is that vehicles generally have the same pin out on the trailer connector, the two most common being a 4-Way flat and 7-Way blade style. To make sure everything matches up and just to be on the safe side you can use a circuit tester like # 3808 to test the functions on the vehicle side connectors. On the trailer side you can either trace each wire back to determine...
