I don't have the towing package on my 2000 Dakota sport. What will I need to do for wiring to tow a small uhaul utility trailer? I bought a hitch but I looked under the bed and found a wire coiled up with two ends on it that comes out of the wire that leads to the back lights. Will it be as simple as soldering on a plug to those wires?

I should be fine towing a trailer that weighs about 800 pounds all loaded? It's the 3.9 5 speed

 

There are kits that just "T" into the tail lights and gives you all the 4 circuits,

White = Ground
Green = Right turn
Yellow = Left turn
Brown = Tail lights

Quick and easy! All for $20

 

Ok thanks!

Would that be all I need? Just hooks into the tail light plugs?

 

That is all you need.
unscrew tail light lense ,connect and feed wires down to hitch area.

 

curious as to how this would work for both sides as it appears it only plugs into one side?

please educate me.

 

I used the Hoppy kit from Autozone. $20. T-taps the chassis/body interconnects on either side of your spare tire.

 

I'm not sure the brand that I ended up buying. Cost me 15 bucks. Two plugs just t into the brake light plugs. Worked great for the uhaul
