by:
2011 Dodge Dakota

It went on in less then 10 min. The longest part of it all was finding a hex bit big enough. Would recommend to anyone.

I am empressed with the system and how easy it is to install. The delivery time was fast and I recieved my hitch super fast.



by:
2005 Dodge Dakota

Got the hitch less than two days after my order was placed. The hitch took all of 10 minutes to actually install and works great.



by:
2005 Dodge Dakota

Unbelievably fast delivery! Quality product and simple installation.

2011 Dodge Dakota

Free shipping and recieved in less than a week. Customer service was excellent. Product was just as advertised



by:

Great service and will pass my experience to others. Very pleased with the product
Great working with Etrailer.
Thank You



by:

As soon as I pulled it from the box you realized this was a product that was worth the money you had spent. Thirty minutes for instalation was generous, if I had found my 1/2 hex bit in the tool box it would have been only ten minutes to install.



by:
2011 Dodge Dakota

I was extremely pleased with the way my shipping was upgraded at no cost to me. My package was delivered in a timely matter. Thanks.



by:
2005 Dodge Dakota

I bought this hitch, and found it easy to install. Interestingly, I had folks telling me I couldn't put a hitch on my Dodge Dakota unless it was "welded" on. Wrong. This goes on pretty easily. I will warn others -- finding a wrench to install the main bolt was a bit of a challenge. But once I figured that out, it was easy sledding.



by:

A breeze to installThis hitch mounted just like the OEM optional hitch does - took about 15 minutes. Etrailer.com got my parts out incredibly fast! Thanks for the great service.



by:

Very impressed! Great price. Got here quick! Easy install. Would recommend this product to anyone who needs to change there bumper hitch to a receiver type. Saved at least $150.00.



by:

The recommended companion products for the hitch receiver was very helpful in getting everything i need.,..one suggestion (either for this or any actual hitch ball) should be the wrench the is necessary to tighten the ball's bolt



by:

This item installs so easily and works very well. I towed my sister in law's pop-up on the e-way and my brother in law's utility trailer with a considerable load with out any incident.
Considering cost and ease of installation this is the best around!



by:

Great product! Quick shipping! It took longer to find the tools than to put it on! Can not wait to take my camper out!

  • Availability of Class IV Hitch for 2008 Dodge Dakota
    Most Class III hitches will have a Weight Carrying Capacity and a Weight Distribution Capacity. There is not a Class IV hitch available for the 2008 Dakota, but the Curt Class III receiver, part # 13230 has an 8000 lb capacity when used with a weight distribution system. The W/D system will use leverage provided by spring bars to transfer a portion of the trailer tongue weight to the front axle of the tow vehicle, thus allowing the hitch to bear more weight. Although the hitch is rated...

  • Installation of Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver Part # 13329 on 2005 to 2010 Dodge Dakota
    The installation is pretty simple. One bolt passes through the bumper through the trailer ball hole plug located in the center of the bumper under the license plate area. The other two bolts attach the hitch to the bumper support. I will provide a link to the install instructions for your review.

  • How to Determine Towing Capacity for a Hitch on a 2005 Dodge Dakota 2WD Quad Cab
    The Curt Trailer Hitch, item # 13229, is designed and tested for fit and capacity, likewise the Dodge Dakota and Mitsubishi Raider have their own towing capacity ratings for the vehicle and bumper. In your case the vehicle attachment point is rated for 2,000 pounds capacity so that will be the maximum rating for your vehicle with the bumper mounted option. You always have to go by the lowest rated item in the towing system for maximum capacity. If you need more capacity than the bumper...

  • Installation of Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13229 on 2007 Dodge Dakota
    I spoke with my contact at Curt and when it comes to installing the Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver, # 13229, on your 2007 Dodge Dakota, the torque information given in the instruction is correct and has been tested. This is a 3/4 inch, grade 8 bolt that has been used for years and they have not had any issues of the bolt braking when torqued according to the instructions.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 1997 Dodge Dakota Sport
    For your 1997 Dodge Dakota Sport, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2 inch # C13280. This is a square tube design that will easily bolt on to your truck. It has a nice gloss black powder coat finish over a protective base coat for superior rust resistance. There is not a similar hitch to the Curt # 13229 available in style or in the number of bolts to install. It is not compatible with your model year. If you will be using this hitch receiver for...

  • Does Curt Trailer Hitch Fit 2005 Dodge Dakota
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13902 is a multi-fit, universal-type hitch so it doesn't have any specific trucks that it will fit. Curt only describes it by saying, "Fits most full-size pickups from Ford, GM and Ram" so it will likely fit your 2005 Dodge Dakota, but you may have to drill into your frame, and I have a much better option for truck. Instead of a multi-fit hitch, for your 2005 Dodge Dakota highly recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13229. The reason this is a...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring to Tow a Rental Trailer with a 2007 Dodge Dakota
    The Curt trailer hitch # 13229 is a great value for your 2007 Dodge Dakota and is more than capable of towing a rental trailer. The hitch is rated for 500 pounds tongue weight and 5,000 pounds gross trailer weight. Compare that to the truck's towing capacity (in the owner's manual) and go by whichever rating is lower; the hitch or the truck. Uhaul requires a hitch on the vehicle as well as a functional trailer wiring harness. You can add a 4-Way flat trailer connector using # 118323. The...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendations for a 2000 Dodge Dakota
    No, the Curt trailer hitch # 13229 will not fit your 2000 Dodge Dakota but we do have other trailer hitches that will fit such as # C13280. 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...

  • Curt Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2000 Mercury Mountaineer
    The Curt hitch part # 13229 is not going to fit a 2000 Mercury Mountaineer as it is designed to fit Dodge Dakotas. Instead you'd need a hitch that is confirmed as a fit for your vehicle like the Curt # 13540 which will bolt right up.
