DoesDraw-Tite Hitch Installation on 2021 Pacifica Require Underbody Panel Reinstallation

Updated 04/29/2025 | Published 04/26/2025

Question:

I have a 2021 Pacifica Pinnacle trim. In the directions it says 2020 and above return the underbody panel to the owner. Should I assume in my 2021 that the underbody panel is not being used once the hitch is installed?

Hi Brandon; that is correct. Since you have a 2021 Chrysler Pacifica you will not need to trim or reinstall the underbody panel when installing the # 76046. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Robin, I actually was able to install it rather easily without trimming the built in heat shield and doing the normal trimming mention in the installation guide. Every nut and bolt lined up and fit relatively well. Not sure if that changes the directions but it worked for me. Thanks for the reply!

@BrandonS yeah that isn't the first time we have heard of that. Seems to be true on quite a few vehicles which is great to hear since trimming can be a pain. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything else!
