Easiest to Install 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2005 Dodge Caravan Without Stow-N-Go Seats

Updated 02/07/2022 | Published 02/04/2022

Question:

Im looking for a class 2, 1.25 inch hitch for my 2005 Dodge Caravan. It is not a Stow and Go and it is not a Grand Caravan. The badge on the rear of the car says Caravan SXT. Which hitch is your easiest to install? Can I install without a helper? Can you link me to an installation video for your recommended hitch? I will only use it to carry a bicycle rack. Thanks!

The easiest Class II, 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receiver to install on your 2005 Dodge Caravan without Stow-N-Go seating is from Draw-Tite:

- Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36296

The # 36296 is the easiest to install because it is does not require any drilling on your '05 Caravan, unlike the Curt Trailer Hitch # C12362 that also fits your '05 Caravan. So the Draw-Tite will definitely be the best hitch for you, and can absolutely be installed without a helper. I have added a link below to a video install of this hitch on a 2005 Caravan so you can see how simple it is.
