Trailer Hitch Installation - 2000 Dodge Durango

Video Transcript for Trailer Hitch Installation - 2000 Dodge Durango

Today we are going to be installing hitch part number V81600 on a 2000 Dodge Durango. The first thing you want to do is to go ahead and remove your spare tire. That will give you a lot more room to get the hitch up into place. We are underneath the vehicle now and we are going to go ahead and point out the mounting location for the trailer hitch. There are three attaching points on the passengers side and there are four on the drivers side. So the first thing we want to do is to go ahead and put all the hardware into place. It will consist of carriage bolts and blocks for most of the locations. On the mounting locations for the vertical tabs on each side there is actually a carriage slot built into the trailer hitch, so that we do not need a block in those locations - we only need a carriage bolt. For the two here on the drivers side I am actually going to use the fish wire that was provided in the installation kit. We are going to feed that up through the hole and then out through the larger hole here in the side of the frame. I am just going to wrap that around our carriage bolt and then pull that down into position. Then another carriage bolt and block here in the crossmember. And then we can go ahead and put the hitch up into position.

It may help to have a second set of hands here to get the hitch up into position. We want to go ahead and do the final two attaching points, which are the two tabs here at the end of the frame. All right, and now that we have got all the fasteners in place, we can go ahead and torque our bolts down. You want to check with the instructions to verify the specific torque rating for each individual bolt. OK, and with all the bolts torqued down, our installation is complete. And you want to make sure you put your spare tire back up into place when you are done. And this will conclude the installation of hitch part number V81600 on a 2000 Dodge Durango.
