Expert Reply:

I checked the owners manual of your 2015 Dodge Durango V6 and the towing capacities depend on the transmission style.

For light duty RWD models and AWD light duty models the capacity is 3,500 lbs trailer 350 lbs tongue weight.

For standard RWD and AWD models the capacity is 6,200 lbs with 620 lbs tongue weight.

For a hitch for your vehicle you would want the Curt Class III part # C13182 that has been confirmed as a fit and has more towing capacity than the vehicle would. This means that the vehicle would be the lower rated component so it would be the overall towing capacity.

For trailer wiring you would need part # C56336.

If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
