If you need to get a 7-Way installed on your 2016 Dodge Durango, you will want the Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness w Brake Controller Adapter # TK22113. Most of this will be plug and play, but you will also need to run a couple wires up to the battery for the 12 volt power port on the 7-Way. I have also found Tekonsha wiring harnesses to be the best and longest lived out of all the brands we carry, so it is highly recommended.
One of the other nice things about the Tekonsha # TK22113 is that it comes with a pigtail to connect one of their brake controllers. The Tekonsha Primus IQ # TK90160 will snap right into said pigtail and all you need to do is figure out where to mount it. This controller is easy to use and set up, and for the price, it's hard to beat.
I do need to mention that the wiring will not include mounting brackets, so you will need to also grab the # PK12711U bracket and the # 18140 No-Drill Mount as well. These will make the mounting a lot easier.
