05 wiring for towing
Ok guys, I own an 05 dakota with no factory towing kit installed so, I installed a Drawtite class 3 hitch. Now I need to add the wiring for a boat trailer.. Can anyone tell me or direct me to a site or link that sells a harness that just plugs into our taillight setup? I assume our truck had no trailer wiring harness unless it came from the factory with all the towing stuff? The Mopar site has a complete trailer wiring plug in harness kit but wants 169 bucks! There must be a better way?

I know it's not much cheaper but at least it's plug and play,plus it's factory stuff.

George,
Try this website. They offer plug in kits for vehicles with and without the factory towing option.

Go to any RV dealer. Most will have what you're looking for or can order.
Don't let the stealerships rob you blind!
Might even try Walmart! Yea that's right! They carry (or use to) lots of
stuff like that including Reese Class 5 hitch setups.
