Question:

e98901 I selected this hitch as it indicated it was concealed yet the images show it below the removable rear bumper. Is it concealed or not?

Hey Will, thanks for reaching out!

The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98901 does NOT have a concealed crosstube. I'm not sure why we had that listed out like that, but I've sent in an update to get that corrected.

The only hitch for your 2025 Durango that does have a hidden crosstube is the Draw-Tite # DT38MR, which actually sits right behind the bumper so you get a complete factory look when you put the bumper fascia piece back in place (see video).

What do you plan on using the hitch for?

I just watched the install for the hitch. What else do I need to make this acceptable for the electrical needs when pulling a trailer? Thanks Will

@WillC For basic wiring you just need the T-One # 118617 and the Mounting Bracket # 18144. Does your trailer have brakes, and do you already have a ball mount?
