Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Dodge Durango
Question:
I have a 2017 Dodge Durango V6. Ill be towing 3000lb camper. Loaded weight close to 4500 to 5000lbs. Could you recommend the best hitch for my needs. One that doesnt require the cut out on the bumper to be removed. I would like a hitch that is just blow the bumper. Thanks,

For your 2017 Dodge Durango the Draw Tite Hitch part # 75713 would be the hitch I would recommend. It has plenty of capacity, installs below the rear bumper, and does not require fascia trimming. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
For trailer wiring you then would want the part # 118617 which is a confirmed fit.
Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
