Excellent product. It bolted up with very little trouble and appears to be very solid.



by:

The hitch went on without a hitch :-) The hardest part was moving the exhaust system out of the way but even so the entire process including the wiring took under two hours.



by:

the hitch was alittle intimidating until i watch the video on installing it. very informative. then i went to the garage and 1,2,3 i had it on in no time.



by:
2007 DodgeMagnum

Super fast delivery, ordered on Sunday night and it was on my porch Wed afternoon!
The hitch/harness were an easy install & both sets of directions were vehicle specific and extremely well written, nice job.

Thanks for the great service!



by:

Product bolted right up, no problems. It was harder to drop the exhaust pipes than to install the hitch. It was a better fit than I expected and I received it sooner than expected as well. I have already recomended your service to others and plan to make an additional purchase. Thanks for great service.



by:

I love this product. Went in without an issue. I would highly recommend buying the ball mount at the same time and save your self on shipping. I tried to find one locally and nobody carried the longer ball mount.



by:
2007 Dodge Charger

All worked well. Mounted as described in video which was very helpful. Please note I had to re-tap the threaded holes in my body to accept the 3 bolts wthout the backing plates. The threaded holes had light corrosion that kept the bolts from running up. Tap size is M12x1.75. No fault to the hitch just installed on older car. The hitch is well thought out and the quality is nice.

Best there is!So I ordered the CL-III hitch and wiring harness for my Dodge Magnum SXT. Order placed late afternoon on 27 Dec- arrived early afternoon 29 Dec, that is seriously quick shipping. After I placed the order, I rec'd email confirmation and with the usual customer service statement "feel free to contact me...". Well, I did, I immediately emailed and asked how I could upgrade my shipping, that I needed the hitch no kidding in time for my last move retiring from the Army. The shipping was updated, confirmed and was so without incurring more charges. Product fit as stated, very easy install, and quality of the Curtis product is awesome. T- connector for the Dodge CAN-Bus electrical system was clearly labeled, well packaged and instructions were complete. Total install time for me using basic hand tools was just under an hour for both hitch and harness. This is my third order from eTrailer and will definitely do business with them again.

Very impressed with this Curt hitch. I was a more than a little apprehensive of adding a hitch to my '07 Dodge Charger R/T. This hitch has an incredible high gloss finish and it tucks up neatly under the car whereas it's not nearly as noticeable as I feared it would be. In my opinion it does not distract at all from the appearance of my car. It took about an hour to install. Great product and I ordered it on a Thursday and received it on Monday.Would order another Curt hitch from Etrailer.com in a heartbeat.



by:

Trailer hitch i ordered came super quick. Was exactly what I ordered and extreamly happy with my purchase
Also it was not damaged like another website i ordered from which also came late and was not what i ordered.



by:

As a soldier I had not time to place the package on my vehicle as of yet But what I can say Is that my package came early and with all the components to it and it was the cheapest at the time for all that I ordered your prices are the best I have seen in months keep them low and you will have more come to buy from you.

You have my recommendation

Kudos to you, Jim! I'm glad that the install went on smoothly as well as the wiring harness :)

2009 Chrysler 300C

I recently ordered 13465 class III hitch and this C55546 vehicle wiring harness for my 09 Chrysler 300C. It was very easy to install and times provided were very close. It took me just about two hours to install the hitch and harness. I did however stray a bit from the instructions on the harness though to make it more permanent and secure. Drilled hole in trunk floor pan and ran harness through it with some wire loom and a grommet. Then drilled a small hole in flat part of safety chain bracket on hitch to secure harness to hitch. I was a first time customer and would diffently use etrailer.com again.

2010 Dodge Challenger

Hitch mounts right up with no installation problems. A lot easier if you have a helping hand but doable by your self as I did. Use it mostly for bike rack but towed a buddy's railbuggy home when it broke down once and it held up good.



by:

The product fit perfectly, arrived very well packaged with all needed hardware. While it took longer than advertised to get on the car, it may have been my struggle with mufflers that had to be moved out of the way for attachment to car. The only surprise was the load capacity on the hitch receiver. I thought I would receive a 5000lb capacity unit, but received a 3500lb unit. More than enough for my towing needs so I'm happy with the installation. The unit is barely visible when the ball is not in the receiver. That's a nice perk.



by:
2006 DodgeMagnum

This receiver is very well designed and the coating on it is well done and appears quite durable. It tucks up under the car so far you barely notice it is there. Installation was EXACTLY as described in the instructions and video. Lowering the exhaust is NOT a big deal. My toughest hurtle was cleaning out the M12-1.75 threads that had corroded a bit on my 2006 R/T AWD Magnum. Not having the right tap, I had my local muffler shop clean those out, then I installed the hitch. Easy Peasy.

Ford Edge

Quality & Fitment is very good, installed on Dad's 300C Heritage Touring everthing went very smoothly on install, visually inspected hitch welds and paint all looked to be very well done, purchased this hitch for use of a power chair lift so that dad would have more mobility options but as of today the lift hasn't been used due to weather! Also purchased the stabilizer strap, don't really care for the attachment point, extra care will need to be taken to not damage paint at forward edge of trunk lid, will use a microfiber chamois cloth changing frequently to avoid any problems!



by:
2007 Chrysler 300C

I recently purchased this hitch and wiring harness for my car so I could haul my Polaris rzr. The products were installed with ease, only issue I had was rusted threads on my car. A little spay or a tap solved this issue. The hitch handles the load well. I would recommend this supplier to anyone. Fast delivery and good service. Instructions are detailed and complete. Videos are a plus, very helpful.

I placed my order on a Friday evening around 9pm. I was not expecting to get any shipping notice until after the weekend. I received an email about 2 hours later saying my hitch was about to ship! No other company I've ever shopped online with was that quick. I choose the 3-5 day shipping and got it Tuesday afternoon. Both the hitch and wiring harness purchased are top quality. Only negative I have is that I have to download and print out the mounting instructions...

Im very happy with my trailer hitch. I thought I would be able to install it myself but once I saw the instructions, I decided to have a professional install it for me.



by:
2010 Dodge Charger

Instructions were pretty good. I had never installed a hitch before. Took about 2 hours with me doing it by myself. Instructions say novice takes about an hour. I think with 2 people, it definitely would take an hour or less. Will need to drive back of car onto ramps in order to get to exhaust hangers to drop exhaust lower so you can bolt in the hitch. This was for a 2010 Dodge Charger. I bought this vehicle used so I don't know if it had a custom bumper on it, but the hitch doesn't go out far enough so my bike rack looks like it would rub against the bumper. I'm going to have to get an extension, but I'm still very happy with the product.

  • Does The Curt 13465 Hitch Fit My 2008 Dodge Magnum?
    Hey Stephen, Yes, the Curt Class 3 Trailer Hitch, # 13465, is a great fit for your 2008 Dodge Magnum. I went ahead and attached a video of an installation on an older year magnum for you to get a better idea of what the install looks like. Even though it is a older year the install should be very similar. What are you looking to use the hitch for?

  • How to Determine Which Ball Mount Will Have Enough Rise for Curt Hitch on a 2005 Chrysler 300c
    The best way to determine which ball mount is right for your 2005 Chrysler 300c and your trailer is to take a few simple measurements. Since you don't have the hitch we can see by the video of the Curt # 13465, I've attached, that the hitch receiver is going to be 10-1/4 inches from the ground. You will then want to take a similar measurement from the bottom of the coupler to the ground. Then compute the difference. If the hitch height is greater than the trailer height, then •hitch...

    I have a solution for you but the Curt Trailer Hitch item # 13465 will not give you enough clearance to mount the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes item # SH22B.

  • What If I Exceed Weight Limit of Class 3 Hitch
    Exceeding the weight rating of the vehicle or hitch could cause engine damage, transmission damage, hitch failure and the hitch could rip out of the frame of the vehicle. The important thing to remember is that the Curt trailer hitch # 13465 is rated for 3,500 pounds. If the vehicle is rated lower you go by the lower rating. You would not want to go beyond the capacity specified in your vehicle owners manual. I cannot recommend using this hitch with an Equalizer hitch since it is not...

    The important thing to remember is that the trailer hitch is rated for 3,500 pounds. If the vehicle is rated lower, which in this case it is, you go by the lower rating. You would not want to go beyond the capacity specified in your vehicle owners manual. I have included a link to a video showing a typical installation for you.

  • Recommended Hitch and Related Towing Components for 2008 Chrysler 300
    Two sizes and weight classes of hitch are offered for your 2008 Chrysler 300. These include several of the 1-1/4-inch Class II type and one of the 2-inch Class III type. All things being equal I suggest the 2-inch Class III hitch # 13465 from Curt since this size hitch will be more widely compatible with a range of hitch-mount accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers. An install video is linked. All you will need to add is the hitch ball, either a 1-7/8-inch (# 19256) or 2-inch...

  • Can the Erickson Big Bed Load Extender be Used with a 2006 Dodge Magnum
    Yes, I have recommend load extenders such as # EM07600 for cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs. Sometimes it is just the right tool for the job! Once installed in the hitch the minimum height is 16 inches. If you measure from the top of the receiver opening up 16 inches on your 2006 Dodge Magnum that will be the approximate height of the extender once installed. I have linked a video review of this extender for you. In order to use this extender your Magnum would have to have a Class III trailer...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch to Carry Bike Rack and Cargo Carrier on 2006 Chrysler 300
    The Curt Class III - 2 inch trailer hitch # 13465 is a confirmed fit for your 2006 Chrysler 300. This hitch has a maximum tongue weight of 350 lbs. and would work well with a bike rack and a cargo carrier. This is a bolt-on installation with no welding required.

  • Recommended Curt Receiver Hitch for 2005 Dodge Magnum RT
    Curt offers two different receiver hitches for your 2005 Magnum, the Class II you mentioned, part # 12240 or a Class III, part # 13465. Although both receivers would work great on your vehicle, I always recommend choosing a Class III with a 2 inch receiver opening over the Class II with the 1-1/4 inch opening whenever the option is available. The more common Class III 2 inch receiver will provide a better selection of hitch mounted accessories like bike racks or cargo carriers. If you...

  • Recommended Solution to Fight Sag on Nissan Quest with Coil Springs When Carrying Motorcycle
    The tongue weight (or hitch weight) is the maximum amount of weight that the frame of the vehicle can withstand without being damaged. You'll also always be limited to the lowest rated component in your towing setup, so even if your hitch says maximum 500-lbs tongue weight, but the vehicle is only rated for 350-lbs (which my research indicated), you will be limited to that 350-lbs. This means that any carrier and motorcycle must have a combined weight of less than 350-lbs. When it comes...

That is the difference between the two hitches. I attached an installation video for the # C13093 for you to check out also.

  • Ball Mount to Clear Rear Bumper of 2005 Chrysler 300 with Curt Hitch Installed
    When we installed the Curt Hitch part # 13465 on a 2005 Chrysler 300 like yours we found that the distance from the hitch pin hole to the outside of the bumper measures 6-3/4 inches. The Curt ball mount part # D-26 should work well for you as it has a distance of 8-1/2 inches from the hitch pin hole to the nearest portion of the ball mount platform so it would work well for you. For a 2 inch ball you would then want the part # 63845 and for a 1-7/8 inch ball # 19260.
