I just picked up a mopar hitch receiver and wiring kit from my dealer for $380 bucks. Took me about 2.5 hours to do it all and it looks factory. Instructions come with the harness and the hitch. A Dremel tool with a rotory file bit works great for cutting out the hole in the bumper. Heck the template is on the bumper from factory no locating necessary.

The hitch receiver p/n is 82212597AB, the wiring kit p/n is 82212196AB. I did fail to mention in my previous post that you will have to take it to the dealer and have your computer updated to get the lights to work. I worked it out with my dealer to get update done when they updated my radio to get it to work with iPhone 4s. They also updated other systems with the durango all under warranty.

I had my dealer do it. Hitch was $257. Wiring harness was $103. Install was $235 for 3 hours of labor. It goes through the bumper and looks totally factory. They even added it to the VIN # of my Durango so it'll be covered by any Dodge dealer & it shows up as original equipment. I couldn't be happier.
