Need to Get Tow Package on my Durango
Hi all,
Recently I have had the need to tow things and I would like to get a the tow package for my 2000 durango (4.7). Where would I be able to buy the tow package that I need? Also would I need to add things like a transmission cooler etc?
My neighbor has a laredo Jeep and he went to the dealer and they charged him 500 bucks. I noticed that his bumper has some slit cover in it now. I dont think the durango would need that bumper mod they did.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

It depends on what you are wanting to tow. From Advance Auto Parts you can purchase a Class IV hitch tha simply bolts to the frame for around $200 and that is rated to 7,500 #. Also you can just purchase a simple plug and play adapter for the 4 prong trailer light plug.
Basically what it is, is a pigtail that you plug one end of your left tail light into this box and there's another end you plug into the tail light, and visa versa for the other side. It runs around $20.
If you're wanting to pull more than 4,000# keep in mind you'll most likely have trailer brakes and need a trailer brake controller. This means you'll spend an extra $150 plug you'll now need a 7 pole on the back that you'll have to wire electricity, reverse lights, and wiring from the brake controller.
I did this on my Durango so once you answer how much you'll wanting to be towing I can help you out more with pictures and such. Hope that helped!

There will be a blue connector to hook a brake controller to under there if you have the factory installed tow package.
