I have a 2017 Dodge Durango gt. Which wiring harness would I need if it was not built with a factory trailer plug? Im not sure if the gt would fall under the limited category

Expert Reply:

The trailer wiring harness I recommend for your 2017 Durango is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 118617.

You just locate the connection points behind the tail lights, plug the harness connectors in, and run the hot lead wire to the positive battery post.

When working with electrical connectors I recommend using dielectric grease like part # 11755. This keeps dirt and moisture out of the electrical connections and helps prevent corrosion.

If you do not have a trailer hitch on your Durango I recommend part # 75713. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening.

If you plan on doing 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.
