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

Very easy install. the fishing wires are a stroke of genius. The recommended dimensions for the belly pan modification is excessive. I only ended up having to cut a 4" wide slot about 10" long to clear the receiver. Very happy with the installation as the cross tube is completely hidden behind the bumper and belly pan. Surprisingly the foot activated tailgate lift sensor still works even though the hitch partially blocks the sensor.



by:

Easy instructions and all that’s needs to fit easily.
I did modify the heat shield cut and undertrim to a closer fit
But great product and the bolt pull through wires worked great.

Fit perfectly on a 2020 Pacifica AWD.
This
isn't a difficult install, but a few things will make it easier if you know them going in.

1. The van needs to be off the ground a little to make it easier. I backed onto some 6x6 pieces of lumber I had sitting around and that made getting in under the van much easier.

2. The AWD model has the heat shield integrated into the underbody cover. That heat shield does not need trimmed at all for the hitch to fit.

3. When fishing the bolts through on the passenger's side of the frame, there is a gusset inside the square tube that will not allow the plate and bolt to pass through if the fish wire is inboard of it. It goes just fine if the fish wire is outboard of that gusset.

4. I found it helpful to put a kink in the fish wire, about 4-6 inches from the leading side to encourage it to bend downward so i could get it out of the correct hole.

5. When making the cut to thr underbody panel - Read and reference Robert's review from 8/26/2023 and the images of the cutout and dimensions. They worked perfectly for me.

6. The most annoying / challenging thing on thr AWD model is the muffler hanger. It's in a challenging spot and was a real PITA to get popped off. Your best bet is to use a squirt of some lubricant and a pair of channel locks with the upper jaw on the metal male part and the lower jaw on the rubber. Squeeze until the rubber pops off the end, then grip the rubber by itself and twist it off. Look for a YouTube video by Sweet Project Cars called "FASTEST WAY to remove rubber exhaust hangers... BAM OFF." It's 56 se ones long and shows this method perfectly.

2022 ChryslerPacifica

Worked great on my 2022 Pacifica, I read the other review about issues getting the washer and bolt through. They are correct there is a split in the channel , if you send it on the bottom the washer will go through but not the bolt. But if you reach in the hole that you feed the washer through, you can feel the split . So feed the spring over the too , which is super easy , and works exactly like the video.whole process was an hour and half



by:
2017 ChryslerPacifica

Perfect fit and relatively easy to install. It's estimated to be about an hour.

A lift, installed this one before, a helping hand, all your tools at the ready and don't plan to put them away when finished, no interest in cleaning while you're there and do your trimming of the mat and heatshield per the suggested measurements...then it may take about an hour. However, if you're like me, methodical, tidy and OCD won't allow for trimming that looks like a hackjob when you're finished, then plan on 3, hope for 2 and probably land somewhere around 2-1/2 hours from beginning until shower time.

I've posted some pics with some measurements for the mat where the hitch protrudes, and simply trim the flange off the heat shield, so you can avoid the hackjob look. You will end up with 1 original nut left over. Also, the install video doesn't touch on the passenger side, which is where it gets interesting. However, the install video for the 2021 Pacifica uses the same hitch and offers a little extra for the passenger side.

Hope this helps!

This one is the latest of several Ive ordered over the years, for multiple vehicles. eTrailer is my Go-To place for a hitch. I cant seem to find a gently used vehicle I like, that already has a hitch installed. So Ill be back.

Great trailer hitch



by:
ChryslerPacifica

I bought this and installed it on a Pacifica for use with a wheel chair lift (not towing a trailer). The installation was pretty straightforward with good instructions. It’s been in use a year now with no issues.



by:

My Curt trailer hitch went on nice and easy. No filing or drilling was necessary. The install took 1 1/2 hrs to complete. I only needed to remove a small amount of the undercarriage fabric panel to complete the installation. The directions show a much larger but unnecessary fabric removal area. This is easy to see and navigate through. The heat shield also needed less removal than shown. This is easy to see once you’re up in there working. I also was able to perform the installation without raising the vehicle. A couple fabric screws in the drivers side rear wheel well are easier to remove with the wheel removed, otherwise a pretty straightforward install. Note that the Curt hitch is rated for 400 lbs tongue weight but the Pacifica is rated for only 350 lbs tongue weight. Oh, and you will need a helping hand for about 10 minutes in order to lift the hitch in to place. Tell the wife to stop complaining and the sooner we get this hitch in place the sooner she can go shopping.

Fit great had no problems bolting on to frame. Wiring harness hook up with no problem's



by:

Seriously great model and product. Looks OEM and installation 1-1 1/2 hrs with breaks in between.



by:

Relatively easy installation and the fitment on the vehicle looks great. The finish looks good, hopefully it will last and won't have the typical rust look in a few years.



by:
2022 ChryslerPacifica

Build quality is outstanding. Direction and install videos are a great help. BUT. My 2022 Pacifica has a bit different deflector pan. The heat shield is rivetted to the deflector. All came out in one piece, which is not a problem, just different from the videos.
The real problem came when trying to pull the bolt/washer combo thru the frame rails. There seemed to be extra "stuff" hidden in the rails, blocking the washer from passing thru. We wound up pushing the short washers up thru the square hole near the rear of the car, and holding them over the appropriate hole with a magnet, then fishing the wire and bolt thru and into position. The front bolt and washer went in fine. In the photo, you can see how little was trimmed out to clear the receiver. About 4" wide, and about 10" long.
All in all, I've gotta say the fish wires are a great idea.
I think you made need an update video to cover these couple of items.
Other than that, Nice Job!



by:

Hitch looks and fits great. Tucks out of the way. Using to haul Ebikes. Very disappointed with the video where it tells you to cut the bottom cover 7” x 32””. You only need to trim about 8”wide. Even though it’s underneath it looks like a hack job and you did away with several fasteners.



by:

It came quickly and has worked out well. I had trouble installing it myself and have a pro do it, which eliminated some of the savings that I hoped I would get by buying it myself, but I still got the equipment for less than I would have if I had bought from a dealership or mechanic.



by:

Hitch was quickly delivered in great shape. Installation was made easier after watching the install video on your website. Hides completely behind the bumper. Very happy customer!

Hitch met all expectations. Installation was smooth with van on a lift, instructions were perfect. Used receiver as anchor point for canoe on a cross country trip into the Rocky Mountains. Later used for the bike rack. Works as advertised.



by:

easy to install and I am 89.



by:

Great fit appreciated the videos.



by:
2017 ChryslerPacifica

Directions were clear. Tried installing it myself but definitely needed a second set of hands to hold it while threading on the bolts. Tucks up to the bumper nicely. Using it for a mountain bike rack.



by:
2021ChryslerPacifica

Haven't used it yet, but hitch for my 2021 Pacifica installed as advertised. It arrived when it was supposed to, with all necessary hardware. Spoke with a very helpful Davine W. at etrailer.com, when inquiring about a delivery date, only to later notice that a George J at etrailer.com had already emailed me the info. Very pleased with product and customer service.



by:

I purchased the trailer hitch from etrailer and they installed it for me. I am completely satisfied with both the hitch and the installation quality. When ever I need anything for my vehicle I always check in with etrailer FIRST. They're unbeatable.



by:

The install was painless and the video is all you need in order to install as it's very clear and direct. The only suggestion I have is in reference to the removal of the inner wheel well screws. They are very hard to get at with a standard ratchet if installing without a lift. I suggest purchasing a small 1/4 inch ratchet set prior to install as you then can get in there much easier and save yourself the headache of that step.

Hitch came to me bent called customer support and they had me a new hitch on the way same day. Great customer support. Fast shipping.

  • Which Curt Trailer Hitch For 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Limited Non-Hybrid
    Hey there Tom, good question as you correctly noted a couple Curt hitches for your 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Limited non-hybrid. The appropriate one for you really depends on how you want it to look on your Pacifica. One has a visible crosstube and one has a hidden crosstube. If you take a look below you can see the differences, and here are the part numbers for both: - Hidden Crosstube: Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C65CR - Visible Crosstube: Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13383 They otherwise...

  • Recommended Class III Hitch for 2020 Chrysler Pacifica
    For a non-hybrid Pacifica, we recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # C65CR. This US-made hitch installs so that the hitch crossbar is concealed behind the bumper. The only portion of the hitch that's visible is the receiver tube and safety chain hoops. For a hybrid model, use the Curt # C29UR which also has the concealed crossbar.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Limited to Carry E-Bikes
    Thanks for reaching out! I recommend going with the Curt Hitch Receiver # C65CR for a standard hitch or the Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT46GR if you want the option to remove the receiver for a complete OEM look on your 2022 Chrysler Pacifica. These will allow you to still use that liftgate function but you'll need to find the sweet spot for the sensors to pick up your foot motion since you'll be sticking a piece of metal up there with them.

    To transport a kayak with your 2022 Chrysler Pacifica we'll need to get you a trailer hitch so you can tow a roof rack on wheels since there currently (as of May 2023) aren't any roof rack options for your vehicle aside from what it comes from the factory with, and even that isn't compatible with the Hullavator.

  • What Hitch for 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Has Best Ground Clearance
    Hey Carlos, so I was able to find that you have the Draw Tite hitch part # 76046 installed on your 2017 Pacifica which is a design that has solid ground clearance but we do have the Curt # C65CR which has 1/2 an inch better ground clearance. That probably won't add enough clearance to make it worth the upgrade but it depends on how bad it is dragging. We don't have a roller wheel we can recommend either unfortunately.
