2020 Dodge Ram 1500 Classic WIring Harness for Curt Trailer Brake Controller

Question

Question:

I have a Curt Venturer 51110 brake controller I bought last year for a 2004 Avalanche. Is there a wiring harness for my 2020 Ram that would work for the controller?

For your 2020 Ram 1500 Classic and Curt Venturer Brake Controller # C74VV you can simply use the wiring harness # C51458 to connect it.

It will be a simple plug and play with your factory wiring connectors.
