This Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver opens up what your vehicle can do. With a 2" x 2" receiver opening, it’s built for bike racks, cargo carriers, and small trailers. The Class III rating gives you a 6,000 lbs maximum gross trailer weight and 600 lbs maximum tongue weight. When used with weight distribution, that climbs to 10,000 lbs GTW and 1,000 lbs TW. It’s strong enough for light to moderate towing and stable enough for carrying heavier accessories.
The hitch is precision, robotically welded for consistent strength and fit. The fully welded steel frame means no weak points or flex under load, making it a solid choice for towing campers, boats, or utility trailers. Each weld and joint is designed to handle real-world stress so you can hook up and go without worrying about hitch integrity.
Installing this hitch doesn’t require any cutting or welding. It bolts right onto the frame using the complete hardware kit that’s included in the box. The design lines up with existing mounting points to make installation straightforward with simple hand tools—perfect for a DIY driveway project.
The gloss black powder coat finish over a protective base coat keeps rust and corrosion at bay. It’s more than just tough—it keeps the hitch looking clean after years of towing and road exposure. The round-tube design adds a stylish touch that blends well with your vehicle while still giving you heavy-duty performance every time you tow.

Today on this 2007 Dodge Durango we will be installing Curt hitch part number 13296. The first thing we want to do in preparation to installing our hitch is to remove the spare tire to get it out of our way. Looking at the driver side frame rail at the inboard side we have got two attach bolts here and one free bolt here on the forward side. We are going to need to remove the two here at the rear of the vehicle and the third one we are actually just going to remove the nut from the outboard side. We are going to reuse this bolt for our hitch installation and that will be the same for the passenger side as well. For the forward bolt we just want to push it through. You can see they will not fully come out because it is hitting on the body mount here. We want to push it back far enough to where the bolt sits about even with the flange here at the bottom side of the bumper bracket. At the two rear most attaching points we are going to be putting in new bolts along with the flat washer. We just want to slide those through just about the same position as the forward most fastener. 01:00
The hitch is going to mount to the outboard side of the frame and we want to be able to get it up and around into position without hitting the threads of the bolt. We are going to be adding spacer blocks to the outboard side of the frame. This is going to shim up the extra space that we have for the curled under the edge of the bumper brackets. We just want to repeat that set up for the passenger side and put the hitch up into position. On the forward most fasteners we will be reusing the existing nut. On the two rear most fasteners we will be using the new flange nut that is provided with our installation kit. With all of the bolts into place we can start torquing them down. Check with the directions to verify the appropriate torque rating for each individual bolt. With the trailer hitch installed, from the ground to the top of the receiver tube is 19 inches and from the center of the pin hole to the back edge of the bumper is about two inches. With the bolts torqued down we just want to make sure we put our spare tire back up into place and our installation will be complete. This will conclude the installation of Curt hitch part number 13296 on a 2007 Dodge Durango.
