You need to use the following calculation to find if you have enough clearance:
(A + B) - C = Clearance
A = Distance from the gooseneck ball to the truck cab
B = Offset used
C = Width of the nose of the trailer divided by 2.
So your A is 35" and C is 48" which means right now Clearance = -13". You really want A to be 4" more than C so in this case you need a 17" offset. Even if you combine an offset ball with an offset adapter you aren't going to be able to get to 17" or even 13". The... view full answer...
Hello Rodger, thanks for reaching out. We definitely should have a jack that will work for you, but I was not able to find any references for the part number you provided.
Is this jack an A-frame jack, or does it mount to the side of the frame. Any chance you could email me a picture?
We have plenty of 2,000 lb rated jacks, I just want to be sure you get the right thing for your application.
For example, the Buyers Products A-Frame Jack w/ Support Foot # 3370091260 is a standard A-frame... view full answer...
We're real! The best hitch for your 2015 Dodge Dart is going to be the Curt item # C11281 you were looking at. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Dodge with included hardware. It is a class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver and is the largest one available for a Dart.
Since you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C56179 and a ball mount kit item # e47DR. view full answer...
Hi Tommy!
Motorcycle carriers like the Erickson # EM65MJ, Ultra-Fab # UF48-979033, and the no longer available etrailer e98873 have 500 pounds of capacity and will have no issues carrying you 230 pound 2003 Yamaha YZ250. The problem is going to be your 2015 Dodge Dart.
The hitches we have available for your vehicle are all Class 1 (Curt # C11281 and Draw-Tite # 24890) and have 2,000 pounds of towing capacity and 200 pounds of tongue weight capacity. With that being said, you are always... view full answer...
It sounds like you have the Kuat Transfer V1. If that is the case, the weight capacity is actually 40lbs. instead of 45lbs. This would not be adequate for using your 50lb. e-bike. You would need to upgrade to the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack # KU64FR, which can hold a bike weighing up to 60lbs.
The main difference that allows the V2 to carry a heavier bike than the V1 is the shank and adapter. The V2 has an upgraded/bulked up shank and better 1-1/4"-2" adapter than the V1. This is what allows... view full answer...
It sounds like you are asking about connecting the breakaway switch of the Brake Buddy Classic 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39494.
I cut out some pages from the instruction manual for you to check out, but what you'll do is actually connect the brown and red wires from the Dash Mount Connector directly to the breakaway switch itself. The Dash Mount Connector is plugged into the harness that is connected to the Brake Buddy which is how the breakaway system will operate if... view full answer...
The standard bolt pattern for 14 inch trailer wheels is 5 on 4-1/2 inch like the part # AM20364 which we have a lot of options for. There aren't any options for 5 on 4 inch. view full answer...
From my research I found that the towing capacity for your 2013 Dodge Dart Rallye has a maximum towing capacity of 1,000 lbs. This would be the weight of any trailer you attach added to the weight of the cargo on the trailer.
The hitch I recommend is the Curt Trailer hitch, part # C11281. This is a Class l hitch and has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening.
The ball mount I recommend is the Draw-Tite Ball Mount, part # 3592. This fits 1-1/4 inch receivers and uses hitch balls with a 3/4... view full answer...
We can help you select the items you'll need to tow your Dart.
Safe and legal flat towing requires a few components including a tow bar, safety cables, a wiring/lighting kit of some sort, a high/low hitch adapter and for the towed car a set of base plates and a braking system. You can learn more about each of these by reviewing the linked articles on flat towing. Your Dart owner's manual should also be consulted (check the index for the heading 'recreational towing') in case there are... view full answer...
A 2015 Dodge Dart 2.0L Automatic is not towable without a trailer. It cannot be towed using a tow dolly either. The good news is if you get the manual transmission instead of the automatic it will be flat towable behind a RV. If you go that route, I recommend the following parts:
Roadmaster EZ2 Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-52294-1
Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar - 6,000 lbs # RM-520
Coiled Safety Cables # RM-643
Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267

I definitely recommend not carrying your Honda motorcycle with your 2015 Dodge Dart. The carrier you're looking at, part # e98873, is rated up to 500 pounds and from my research the bike has wet weight of 357 pounds. So I understand why you think you're okay. However, you're capacity is limited by the lowest rated component, and the Curt hitch, part # C11281, is a Class I hitch that's rated up to 200 pounds of tongue weight. Furthermore, your 2015 Dodge Dart is only rated up to 150... view full answer...
That's a great question! I've done some research and using the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Self-Steering Wheels and Electric Brakes - 4,380 lbs part # RM-2050-1 with your 2015 Dodge Dart is not recommended. It isn't that it will cause any mechanical issues with the Dart if it is front wheel drive only but there is a concern of damaging the underbody of the vehicle.
Here is some information I found on it.
"Due to the low ride height (reduced ground clearance) of this vehicle, vehicle damage... view full answer...
I pulled up the owners manual of your 2013 Dodge Dart and the manual transmission versions of the vehicle are the only ones that can be flat towed and you do have just put it in neutral and you're set. The Roadmaster base plate kit part # RM-52294-1 is the correct base plate kit for your vehicle as well. view full answer...
The most important thing to note when determining how heavy a trailer your Dodge Dart can tow is that you will always be limited by your weakest component. This means that if the Draw-Tite Class I Hitch # 24890 features a 2,000 pound towing weight capacity but your vehicle has a 1,000 pound towing limit, you will need to stay under the vehicle's lower 1,000 pound capacity. I did take a look at the online owner's manual for your 2013 Dodge Dart and verified that it does list a 1,000 pound... view full answer...
According to Curt the trailer hitch # C11281 does fit your 2015 Dodge Dart SXT.
If you're adding the hitch to carry a bike rack I recommend the Swagman Trailhead, part # S63360. It's a great economical rack that folds up when you're not using it and tilts away when you want to access the Dart's trunk. It carries up to 35 pound bikes and can have locks added using part # S64031.
I've linked a video of the 4-bike version of the Trailhead for you on a Dart so you can get an idea of how... view full answer...
The correct Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater for a 2013 Dodge Dart GT is part # KH11812. According to Kat's, the correct location to install said heater will be on the front left side of the engine which you can see in the attached photo. view full answer...
For your 2015 Dodge Dart with a naked roof the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK402 is a confirmed fit and will work well.
I really like the Rhino Rack roof racks as they are considerably cheaper than the high end racks but the quality is right on par with them. view full answer...
According to the stats I found on your 2015 Dodge Dart, it is only rated to tow up to 1,000 pounds. We do have a utility trailer that weighs only 305 pounds. That is the Detail K2 Mighty Multi Utility Trailer - 6' Long # K2MMT4X6. We also have the heavier/larger Detail K2 Mighty Multi A-Frame Utility Trailer - 7-1/2' Long # K2MMT5X7 (451 pounds). However, given these two trailers, I recommend the # K2MMT4X6 because the tailgate can be used as a ramp and it weighs less.

Yes, the Curt trailer hitch # C11281 will fit your 2014 Dodge Dart GT with dual exhaust. I checked with Curt to confirm. If you plan on doing any towing the recommended ball mount is # 3592. For a ball use # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 19258 for a 2 inch. For trailer wiring use # C56179.
Be sure to consult the vehicle owners for towing information. view full answer...
You will need to check with your local DMV to verify any laws, city or county ordinances that specify the visibility of your license plate behind the bike rack.
We don't have any that are directly intended for this application, but some of the more popular ones are the Thule Replacement Licence Plate Bracket, part # 753-2023 and the Optronics License Plate Mount, part # LP10SB.
If you plan on mounting and using either one of these, becuase they are not designed for this use, you'll have... view full answer...
