Features to know about

Get More Out of Every Trip: Class III Strength with a 2" Receiver

This hitch is built for everyday hauling and weekend adventures alike. With a 3,500 lb maximum gross trailer weight and 350 lb tongue weight, it’s ready for light to moderate towing, bike racks, and cargo carriers. The 2" x 2" receiver opening works with the most common hitch accessories, so you can hook up what you already own without the need for special adapters.

Built to Last: Fully Welded Steel with Dual-Layer Protection

The robust steel construction is precision, robotically welded for consistent strength and a perfect fit. A gloss black powder coat finish over a protective base coat keeps rust at bay and holds up against road grime and weather. The round-tube design keeps things looking tidy while adding durability that feels heavy duty without being bulky.

Simple to Install: Bolt-On Design and Complete Hardware Kit

No welding or fabrication required. This hitch bolts directly to the frame using existing holes, so installation is straightforward with basic tools. Everything you need comes in the box — hardware kit, instructions — making it ideal for DIY installs in your own driveway.

Ready for Everyday Use: Designed for Towing, Racks, and Carriers

From small trailers to multi-bike racks or cargo platforms, this hitch gives you versatility without hassle. It’s a solid Class III build rated for towing and accessory use, so whether you’re hauling gear for work or heading out for a weekend ride, it’s built to handle it safely and securely every time.

This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.

by:

a very tight fit but a fit none the less! very pleased to find hardware fishwire included!



by:

Easier to remove tips and rear hanger bolt than to separate hanger rubber mounting. Took me approximately 3 hours doing install and light wiring with no assistance. Little lower than I expected. Received shipment 3 days.



by:

Works great, mounted a motorcycle carrier to it and i now transport my 250KTM on it, on the back of my ‘17 Dodge Charger R/T.



by:

The receiver and wiring kits were easy to install. They have performed well.



by:

Installation was not as easy as expected. The car was new and the exhaust was welded all the way to the transmission. Instructions say to drop 1 muffler, I dropped the entire exhaust and the hitch fit like a glove. 2 hour install. Very satisfied with all of your products that I have purchased.



by:

easy install.



by:

Not quite an easy installation with newer welded exhaust systems, but once in place everything fit well. The receiver is almost hidden from a casual view. Removing the bolts holding the exhaust hangars in place was easier than trying to get the fitting out of the rubber.



by:

Haven't used the product yet, it just arrived, but I will say the etrailer customer service was top-shelf. They were experiencing quite understandable supply-chain issues, and when I called seeking expedite -- I had ordered this hoping to use it on a first vacation-weekend since lockdown -- they proactively explored and offered alternatives, and hone those didn't work out they moved heaven and Earth, or at least lots of boxes, and got me what I needed when I needed i. A+++++ for etrailer.,



by:

Excellent perfect fit hitch. Installation was more complex than expected, and as shown in the videos. Dropping the exhaust pipes unto themselves was easy. But we had to do extensive work on the lower rear facia and adjacent quarter panels. There was no way the exhaust system could be dropped without first spreading out the lower rear quarter panels and pulling back the lower rear facia. Perhaps because mine is a Limited made the issues. By the by, our installation was made on a lift in partnership with a very experienced Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep technician. Nonetheless, as with all my many e-trailer purchase, everything worked out just fine. In addition, the custom Curt wiring kit was extremely easy to install. In that case, the on line videos were perfect and spot on.



by:

I got it today and the hitch was broken through the box and scratched up. Other than that it made it here.



by:

Was very easy to install, instructions easy to follow. Is working just as I wanted.



by:

Perfect fit just have to space the exhaust down with 1/4” spacers

My husband couldn’t believe how fast we got it. We are using them for all related needs from now on. Looks perfect installed!

Awesome product. Shipping was fast and install was easy. Wiring harness was easy plug and play. Ive used mine tow a little trailer on my Dodge charger.

Showed up on time. Looked great and easy to install only took 15mins.



by:

This is a very solid product, and the fit is perfect for my 2021 Dodge Challenger GT. I am very happy with this purchase.

Installation may be more or less difficult depending on your year model and trim level. Complete removal of the driver's side muffler is a huge help if it is a bolt on for your application. Lowering the passenger side exhaust on my particular example is nearly impossible without removing the rear lower fascia panel. The exhaust pipe extends into the finisher which limits the amount of movement without the panel removal. I was able to complete the install without removing the fascia, but it was tight. Install took about 1.5 hours in the garage with the rear end up on ramps. Watching the installation video was helpful to get a basic idea of the required steps.



by:

The trailer hitch looks great. Shipping was super fast. The directions and the online video were very helpful. Total install took around 1.5 hours and I’m no mechanic.

@Jim That'll be exciting! I hope that you get to take them out as much as you can too :)


by:

Installed on a 2017 392 T/A and I absolutely love it. The fishing wire included for the bolts made it a surprisingly easy install but I did have to use a pry bar to get the holes to line up so don't freak out, it'll stretch. Also way beefier than expected



by:

My hitch was installed today by Dominic at Springs Trailers LLC, 2631 E. Platte Ave in Colorado Springs. Installation was fast and excellent. I would highly recommend the Curt Class 3 hitch for my 2023 Dodge Charger along with the T Connector for the wiring. All items were delivered promptly (a day early). I highly recommend Curt products.



by:

Overall it was an easy install. Parts are welded and constructed very well together and tuck up nice almost out of sight. Would and have recommend to others. All hardware was heavy duty as well and didn't needed any adjustments for fitment.

Product is still as sturdy and stout as the day i installed it. Absolutely no issues out of the receiver. Great purchase.



by:

The hitch is well made and fit perfectly on my 2021 Challenger. Doesn't hang too low or stick out too far. Looks great. Instructions were clear, took about 2 hours to install. Possible to install with only taking off one muffler but it's a tight squeeze to tighten the other if you don't drop both. Ended up using mine for a bike rack but have no doubt it would safely haul more.

Thanks for the great review Ed! Glad to hear the hitch fit perfectly on your 2021 Challenger and gave you the clean look you were hoping for without hanging too low. We appreciate you sharing the install tips too, especially about dropping both mufflers to make tightening easier for others installing the same hitch. The install looks great, and thanks for sharing the picture! How often do you get out to ride?

  • Trailer Hitch For 2023 Dodge Challenger GT AWD
    Hello Stephen. For your 2023 Dodge Charger GT AWD I recommend the Curt Class 3 Hitch # C13236. I double checked with Curt and they confirmed it will fit the GT model whether it is the dual or quad tip exhaust. Basically, it will fit all models of the 2023 Challenger except for the Demon, Hellcat and SRT models. To answer your other question, the quad tip models will have 4 exhaust tips (2 on each side), while the non quad tip models will simply have 1 tip on each side.

  • Will Curt Multi Fit Hitch C13900 Fit A 2019 Dodge Challenger?
    Hello Stephen, thanks for reaching out. Curt actually makes a custom fit hitch for the 2019 Dodge Challenger part # C13236. Installation does require the muffler to be removed and reattached. The # C13900 you mentioned is a universal hitch, so I do not have any specific fitment information for this hitch on a Challenger. In all likelihood the installation steps would be the same as the custom hitch and you would have to remove the exhaust, only the universal hitch will be harder to make...

  • What Does Curt Trailer Hitch C13236 Look Like Installed on a 2017 Dodge Challenger
    I have included a picture showing what Curt trailer hitch # C13236 looks like installed on a 2017 Dodge Charger. I think that the hitch and its positioning match the lines of the vehicle quite well which is not normally the case with trailer hitches. But this one blends nicely. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 1" Rise, 2-1/4" Drop - 7-5/8" Long - 7,500 lbs Item # C45030. It will accept a hitch ball with a 1 inch diameter shank such as # 63845...

  • Will the Trailer Hitch for a 2019 Dodge Challenger Work with Aftermarket Exhaust
    In order to install a trailer hitch on a 2019 Dodge Challenger with aftermarket exhaust, the best option we have for you is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13236 not the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76145. The Curt hitch as you can see has a smaller bracket profile than the Draw-Tite hitch so there will be a better chance of compatibility. That said, there would not be a way to confirm fit as none of the trailer hitch manufactures do any test fitting with...

  • Which Hitch and Bike Rack Should I Get To Carry E-Bikes On My 2014 Dodge Challenger?
    First let's get a hitch that will fit with your Borla exhaust but also have good ground clearance. The Curt Hitch Reciever Part # C13236 will give you 9-1/2" of ground clearance. Now, let's find a rack with the most ground clearance. The Inno Tire Hold 2 is going to be able to carry two electric bikes with a weight of 50lbs so you will be plenty good when it comes to weight capacity. This Rack has a rise in the shank so it sits higher than your hitch receiver when hauling. If you are still...

    We have had a chance to install the available trailer hitches for your Dodge Challenger on the 2018 model. Based on the measurements we took during those installs, the trailer hitch that is going to allow for the best ground clearance on your vehicle is the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13236. I also went out to our warehouse to take a quick measurement on this hitch from the mounting brackets down to the bottom portion of the receiver. I measured this distance to be 8-3/4 inches....

  • Trailer Hitch for 2023 Dodge Charger Police Car
    Since your 2023 Dodge Charger Pursuit has the V6 engine we know it isn't an SRT, Hellcat, or Demon. This means you can use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13236. This is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver, bolt-on installation, and a lifetime warranty. It also has a max tongue weight of 350 lbs which will be more than enough for your bikes and bike rack.

  • Recommended Ball Mount for Curt Trailer Hitch on a 2018 Chrysler 300
    Based on our research the top of the inside of the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13236 is going to be about 11-3/4" off of the ground when installed on your 2018 Chrysler 300C. To determine the best ball mount height to keep your towing setup level you simply need to measure from the ground to the bottom of your trailer coupler while it is on level ground and then choose a ball mount that has a rise/drop that will get you as close to level as possible. If your coupler is higher than the receiver...

  • Can Rear Diffusers be Kept When Installing Trailer Hitch on 2020 Dodge Challenger
    Thanks for the photo, and the rear diffusers on your 2020 Dodge Challenger would have to be removed in order to install a hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13236 which fits your car. Based on the photo, the diffusers go under the bumper a bit, so they would likely interfere with the hitch. It would be close, but from looking at the photo I think they would have to come off.

They also normally offer more weight capacity. In this case I do recommend the 1-1/4" hitch part # C12064 because it is a concealed cross tube hitch so the only portion...

  • Will The Curt Hitch C13236 Fit A 2018 Dodge Charger With Scat Pack And Diffuser?
    Hello Armando. The Curt Class 3 Hitch # C13236 will indeed fit your 2018 Dodge Charger. Just keep in mind that the drivers side muffler will need to be removed and reattached during installation. Also models with welded exhaust and exhaust tips riveted to fascia will require much more time and fascia will need to be removed and reattached, as well as the mufflers.
