There is a 4-pole wiring harness available for the 2020 Dodge Durango without factory tow package but the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118384 is for vehicle's with the tow package.
I recommend to use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118617 which plugs in behind the vehicle's taillights. This will give you a 4-pole flat at the rear of the Durango. I have attached a video for your reference.
The hitch I recommend is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98901 which has a nice matte finish to resistant dings and scratches. I have attached an installation video of the hitch as well.
If you plan on doing some towing you may consider the 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 you are not sure how much rise/drop you may need in a ball mount to tow your trailer level, I recommend to take a look at the helpful article I have attached about how to figure the amount of rise or drop you may need.
