Trailer Hitch Installation - 2007 Chrysler Pacifica - Video
Today we are going to be installing hitch part number 87432 from Hidden Hitch on a 2007 Chrysler Pacifica. And this installation will also apply to Draw-Tite part number 75522. Looking underneath the vehicle, we are going to go ahead and point out the attaching points for the trailer hitch. As you can see, we have got the exhaust here in the way of accessing the frame rail, so the first step is going to be to lower the exhaust. And on models with dual exhausts, you are going to want to do it on both sides. Before you do lower the exhaust off of the rubber hangers, you are going to want to support the main cross tube of the exhaust, because once you remove the muffler the exhaust will want to fall down. If we do not support it, it will damage the exhaust system. I am just going to use a basic, old tow strap up here. Another way to lower the exhaust down, other than removing the muffler off of its hangers, would be to just go ahead and unbolt the bracket that is holding up both of the hangers as well - which is what I am going to do. more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2004 Chrysler Pacifica - Video
Today we are going to install part number 87432 from Hidden Hitch. We will be installing this class 3 receiver on a 2003 Chrysler Pacifica. This also will apply to part number 75522 from Draw Tite. To begin our install we actually took down our spare tire. Which is optional but it makes things easier in the long run. Basically what we are going to do here is take out this one bolt here. That should be held up here. And hardware will be pulled through this oval hole here and through the small square hole. 2 more bolts will be coming from the inside out here. It will be the same thing on both sides. Now on the passenger side obviously your exhaust will be in the way so we are going to want to lower it. We lower it by removing the rubber hangers and then getting the exhaust out of the way for more working room. It is also a good idea to use a strap to keep the exhaust from going down all the way. more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2008 Chrysler Aspen - Video
Today on this 2008 Chrysler Aspen, we are going to install part number V82280 from Valley. All right, first we will go ahead and show you where the hitch mounts up to the frame of the vehicle. It actually mounts on the side of the frame using the existing bolt holes that are there. Right now there are bumper bolts that are going through the frame and the bumper bracket. Those will get replaced by the bolts that come with the hitch. What we want to do is go ahead and loosen these bolts up and replace the bolts one at a time because if we take out all of the bolts at one time, the bumper is going to come down on us. So what we are going to do is replace one bolt at a time. On this back bolt here, this is one of two that actually stays with the vehicle. more

Today we are going to install part number 36455, a Draw-Tite Class II receiver hitch, on a 2009 Chrysler Town and Country. This hitch is going to attach to the frame by using these bolts right here. So we will take these bolts out and they will be reused in the installation of the hitch. As you can see, on the passengers side the exhaust is blocking our access to these bolts. So we will need to get that out of the way. This is going to be the first of two exhaust hangers we are going to take down we will start taking this one off first. OK, we have got our exhaust down and out of the way. We actually put a little strap on it just to hold it out of the way so it is a little easier to see what is going on. When we undo the flash bolt right here, this is actually connected to a bracket inside the frame for the bumper, so this actual part of the bumper here - it is actually going to - when we let go of this bolt the bracket is going to tilt up inside the frame. So you want to take care when you take out the bolt to be careful you do not move the bracket around too much. more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 1997 Chrysler Concorde - Video
Today we are going to be installing hitch part number 36170 from Draw-Tite on a 1997 Chrysler Concorde. The instructions do not state this, but the first thing I am going to do is actually to lower the exhaust off the two hangers. There is one here at the rear and one a little bit more forward. We are going to go ahead and lower the exhaust off those two. It is going to give us a little bit more working room. To lower the exhaust I am going to go ahead and just lower the two bolts on each hanger. And now that I have got the exhaust lowered, I am going to remove the inboard side endcap bolt here on the end of the frame rail. What we are going to do is actually replace that with a new bolt and reverse it and turn where the head is on this side, as opposed to the nut. That is going to give us a little more room when we go to put the hitch up into place and drill our holes. And in that bolts place, we are going to go ahead and put the new 3/8 bolt with a conical-tooth washer. And we want to make sure the head of the bolt is on the forward side of the frame. That is going to give us extra room when we go to drill our holes later. And we are going to reuse the existing nut that was already in place there, and then go ahead and tighten that down. And then here on the passengers side, we are going to remove both the inboard and outboard side ones. Those are actually going to provide attaching points for the trailer hitch. more

We have the hitch hung by one bolt on each side to hold it up. Next we will snug that bolt down and watch the hitch wrap around that center bolt. Sometimes it helps to snug that bolt down and it pops around the center bolt. more

All right, with the bolt removed, I am going to kind of pull the exhaust down just a little bit. And you can see there is a weld nut here. That is going to provide the rearmost attaching point for the trailer hitch. You can also see in the forward side we have got two existing holes. We are going to use those as the forwardmost attaching point. You will also note that on the exhaust hanger here there is a little tab that held the hanger in place here in that indentation in the frame.

There is also a weld nut here at the forward side, and then just a hole at the third mounting location. more
