RE: Trailer hitch wiring
talk to my servicedept. today and they said it would be $75 to hook up the wiring. $150 hitch, $170 wiring, $75 install = $395 total. Isn't thay more than the tow package? and you don't get the tran. cooler, heated mirrors, battery etc... why would you build a truck without a hitch?

I agree not everyone is going to pull a trailer, but when you put a trailer ball bumper mount on a truck like the dakota has (a reciever without the 2" square hole) at least add a four pin plug at the rear.

It's better to have something VS nothing.

I called the accessories department where I bought the truck & harness, talked to the guy I bought it from. It was frustrating, he knew exactly what wire it was & where it went but he couldn't tell me for liability reasons! Once I figured out how to play the game-ask questions, he could answer yes or no- I'm not making this up

Kinda suprised that they dontcome witha plug under teh dash for the trailer brake controller to plug into from the factory. Most vehicles I;ve wired up for trailers had 7 wires already tucked away in teh rear (f/s GM trucks/SUV's were our mainstay with some Fords and dodges).
mo, do youintend on towinga trailer with trailer brakes? If not, just get one of those flat 4 kits from the auto store for $25 and it plugs in to the factory harness by the rear bumper/spare tire area. Nice thing is theres no cutting wires (other than putting one screw in the frame or use a bolt inafactory hole) for teh ground).
