Expert Reply:
Larry, since your 2011 Ram Dakota only has a 4-way it was likely added to your truck like the Tekonsha # 118323 since it appears your Dakota would have either came with a 7-way or no trailer wiring from the factory. Since you were unable to locate any wiring connectors under the dash for a brake controller this confirms my suspicion. You can use our 7-Way Kit # ETBC7 which will provide you with a 7-way that will connect to your current 4-way. It also includes the wiring needed to install a charge line and Brake Controller # 90195.
