Features to know about

Haul More Without Hassle: Class III Strength and 2" Receiver

This hitch gives you solid towing power with a 5,000 lbs maximum gross trailer weight and 500 lbs maximum tongue weight. If you’re using weight distribution, those numbers rise to 6,000 lbs GTW and 600 lbs TW. The 2" x 2" receiver opening makes it easy to attach common accessories like cargo carriers, bike racks, or a ball mount for towing. It’s built for everyday utility—sturdy enough for small campers, boats, or trailers without feeling overbuilt.

Built to Last in Real-World Conditions: Fully Welded, Powder-Coated Steel

The hitch is made from fully welded steel and finished with a gloss black powder coat layered over a protective base coat. That combination gives it solid corrosion resistance and the kind of durability you want for long-term use in all weather. The round-tube design keeps it looking clean under your bumper while adding a bit of style that sets it apart from square-tube options.

Straightforward Install at Home: Bolt-On Design, No Welding Required

Installation is about as direct as it gets. The hitch bolts onto the vehicle’s frame using the included hardware—no welding needed. Most setups can be handled in a driveway with basic tools. The fit is designed for precision alignment with existing mounting points, so you’re not fighting with off-center holes or extra fabrication work. Once bolted up, you’re ready to connect your trailer or gear rack and hit the road.

After about a year of towing with the bumper hitch, I saw that the hole for the ball was almost twice as big and the bumper was beginning to crack. I put off getting a tow bar because I thought it would be 3 or 4 hundred dollars. Then I found the Curt trailer hitch on the internet for less than $150! The instructions were very clear and I was able to install it myself in about 45 minutes.

E-trailer hitch has worked extraordinarily well...great product, fit and durability.

A known issue .. the packaging is lousy. Both ends broke through on opposite sides of the box. Only real issue - one end was bent inward at an incorrect angle. Fortunately, I was able to put it in a large vise and straighten it.

Still working like it is brand new.

Easy no-drill installation on my 2000 Dakota. Nice hitch that feels solid. My only complaint is packaging. The mounting fins/tabs pushed through the cardboard box on box sides. Each side of the box had a hole that was approximately 2 inches x 8 inches. I was worried this could let the hardware packet fall out of the box. Luckily, they had the foresight to tape the hardware and instruction packet to the receiver with lots of packing tape.
Package it in a more puncture resistant manner and it would get 5 stars.
by:
Packaging needs to be greatly improved, my hitch was sticking out of the box in two places when it arrived. One arm was bent bad enough that I had to put it in a vise and beat it with a hammer to get it back in place. Overall the hitch is excellent.

Product fit just like they said it would on my 99 Dakota sport 4x4 extended cab. I had to make adjustments because of rear bumper to bumper accident in the past but everything fit great. Ended up selling the truck but helped add value to truck.

I love my new trailer hitch for my ‘02 Dodge Dakota! Perfect fit, arrived earlier and had the right hardware for mounting. Looks great!
by:
Easy to install. My only challenge was the rusted bolts on my truck. I will also have to buy a new hitch component since the one I have does not line up with the holes on this Hitch Receiver.

Great customer service. First unit arrived damaged, but was quickly replaced with a new one. Perfect fit for my truck. Web site is super easy to use and instructions for installation are clear and accurate.

This product from Curt is a great piece.
It installed just as explained in the video.
I've used it to pull a 24' trailer with a car on it
and it worked as intended. For sale, my old one!

Do you have a question about this Trailer Hitch?
  • How To Install a 7-Way Trailer Connector On a 1999 Dodge Dakota
    Yes, assuming that plug you have found does indeed contain the trailer brake and battery charge circuits you can clip this off and then hardwire in a 7-way for which I recommend using the Hopkins Endurance Quick-Install 7-Way Trailer Connector with Universal Pigtail Harness part # HM47210. I can't tell you what color wires go where though so you will need to test this yourself. In order to complete your towing setup you will need a brake controller, the Brake EVN # TK63VR with the Tekonsha...

  • How Much Can the Bumper Tow On a 2004 Dodge Dakota
    I looked up the towing capacity of the rear step bumper on a 2004 Dodge Dakota in the owner's manual for you and it can handle up to 2,000 lbs. If you need to tow a heavier trailer then you will need to use a frame mounted trailer hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13145 which should allow you to utilize the full towing capacity of the vehicle.
    view full answer...
  • What is the Towing Weight Capacity of a 2004 Dodge Dakota
    The towing capacity of your 2004 Dodge Dakota is 3,400 to 4,650 lbs. If you were to install the Curt Class 3 Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13145 which has a Gross Trailer Weight of 5,000 lbs and a Tongue Weight of 500 lbs your Dakota would be the limiting factor and you would still only be able to haul up to 4,650 lbs. Please keep in mind that the Tongue Weight of your trailer should be between 10-15 percent of the GTW of your trailer.

  • Curt Class III Receiver Hitch for 1999 Dodge Dakota
    Curt actually offers two different Class III hitches for the 1999 Dodge Dakota. The Curt # C13280 features a square crossbar tube that will be concealed behind the truck's bumper. The only visible portion of the hitch would be the receiver tube right under the back bumper. The Curt # C13145 uses a round tube crossbar, most of which would be visible from behind the vehicle. Both hitches would install in the same manner, as you can see from the instructions I'll link to, and both hitches...

    Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 75081, is designed to fit the 1998 to 2003 Dodge Durango. It will not fit a 2002 Dodge Dakota. But we do have hitches that will fit your truck.

    Yes, you will need to remove one existing bolt on your driver side frame rail in order to install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13145 or any trailer hitch for that matter on your 2003 Dodge Dakota Sport. In regards to your spare tire, this will not need to be removed or lowered to perform the install whereas most others do require this. As you mentioned, this trailer hitch is a no drill option for all 97-04 models. For a trailer wiring harness, I highly recommend the Curt T-Connector...

  • Recommended Hitch to Fit on a 1995 Dodge Dakota
    The Hitch # C13145 will fit your 1995 Dodge Dakota as long as it does not have the optional rear spoiler, lower rear fascia, or a roll pan or tube bumper. If you plan on doing some towing, you will also want to pick up a wiring harness. The wiring harness that I recommend for your truck is the Tow Ready T-One Harness, # 118329. This harness will simply plug into your tail light assemblies and does not require any cutting or splicing. The final items that you may need to complete your...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch That Is Least Visible On 1994 Dodge Dakota
    The trailer hitch I recommend for your 1994 Dakota with the least visibility is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # C13145. This trailer hitch is designed with the receiver tube even with the horizontal bar of the hitch. Most hitches have the receiver tube welded below the bar, making it more visible. None of the aftermarket hitches will be completely hidden as they are mounted below the truck frame but this hitch is the least visible of the hitches we offer. If you plan on doing...

  • Will Curt Hitch # C13145 Fit 2003 Dodge Dakota With Aftermarket Bumper Installed
    The Curt trailer Hitch, part # C13145, is a fit for your 2003 Dodge Dakota if you do not have a tube bumper or aftermarket fascia installed. I spoke with my contact at Curt and they took the measurement for me that may help you out. It measures 4-1/2 inches from the frame to the top of the receiver tube. If you can measure from the frame under your Dakota where the hitch is to be mounted down, and you have more than 4-1/2 inches to the bottom of your bumper you will have plenty of room...

  • Difference Between Curt Class III # C13145 and # C13280 for a 2003 Dodge Dakota
    The primary differences between the Curt # C13280 and # C13145 are cosmetic. The C13280 would be mainly concealed behind the rear bumper, while the C13145 would be visible. The hitches have identical capacities, so either would work great from a functional standpoint. Because there's not an important difference between the two, I'd personally choose the C13280 because of its lower cost. It just so happens we offer a small trailer designed for carrying kayaks and other items that would...

If you plan on doing some towing I recommend 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 the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level,...

  • Difference Between the Curt Hitch # C13145 and # C13280 for a 2001 Dodge Dakota
    The hitch opening will be in the exact same spot between the Curt Hitch # C13145 and Curt Hitch # C13280. The only difference between these hitches is that the # C13280 is a square tube hitch whereas the # C13145 is a round tube hitch. Either hitch will work with your factory spare, if you check out the install video I attached for the # C13280 you will see that a full sized spare is still able to be installed with the hitch.
