Ryan: Hey, everybody. Ryan here at etrailer.com. Today, on our 2010 Dodge Journey, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Draw-Tite Class III two inch max frame trailer hitch receiver.The Dodge Journey is a very versatile vehicle. So, whether we're taking our whole family on a trip or using it for work, we're going to be able to free up some space now because we can use a cargo carrier. Since this hitch has a pretty impressive weight capacity, it's also going to allow us to easily do some light duty towing.One of things that separates this hitch from many of the others is that, for the most part, it's going to be completely hidden. The only thing you're really going to see is the receiver tube opening.

Today on our 2016 Dodge Journey, you're going to be taking a look at, and we're going to show you how to install the eTrailer Class III custom fit trailer hitch receiver. So here's what our hitch is going to look like once we have it fully installed. It's going to sit right below the bumper, and it's going to give us a 2" receiver tube opening, so we're going to have a really wide variety of options when we mount up any kind of accessories.Now, the way we're going to mount any of those accessories is to the hitch pin hole here on the side, and it is going to accept a standard 5/8 pin and clip. Now these aren't included in the kit, but you can pick them up here at etrailer.com, along with some locking devices to keep your accessories secure. Now if you plan on doing some towing, the safety chain connection point is going to be a plate style, welded to the bottom of the receiver tube. You can see we'll have plenty of room to get most sized hooks on or off.Now as far as weight capacity, our hitch is going to have a 400 pound tongue weight, which is going to be the maximum downward force to the receiver tube, along with a 4,000 pound gross trailer weight rating.

Dodge Journey Trailer Hitch Questions and Answers

• Options for Storing 4-Pole Trailer Wiring Connector
  
• Draw-Tite hitch # 76225 is an excellent choice for a clean installed appearance on your 2018 Dodge Journey. As for the 4-pole connector mount you have two ways to go. Some towers prefer to keep the 4-pole wiring tucked inside the vehicle except when they are actually pulling their trailer. The wisdom to this is that the 4-pole is then protected from corrosion from moisture and salt, and also from a potential hit from road debris. If you are towing all the time then stowing the 4-pole...

• Towing Capacity and Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2018 Dodge Journey
  
• I took a look at the online owner's manual for your 2018 Dodge Journey. If you have the 2.4L engine you can tow a trailer that weighs up to 1,000 pounds. If you have the larger 3.6L engine the maximum trailer weight is 2,500 pounds (with 1 to 2 people in the vehicle). This capacity drops with more passengers (2,000 pound capacity with 3 to 4 people and 1,500 pounds with 5 to 7 people). I do recommend also verifying this information in your copy of the manual or by checking with your...

• What is the Diameter of the Crosstube on the Draw-Tite Hitch for a 2018 Dodge Journey
  
• The inner diameter of the crosstube on the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76225 is 1-1/2". Therefore, a trailer hitch cover designed for a 2" receiver tube opening like the Rubber Hitch Cover part # 22282 will not work for this application. With that being said I am certain you could find something to work for this application with just a bit of modifications. I have attached a sample install video for you as well.

• Recommended Parts to Tow a Trailer with a 2015 Dodge Journey
  
• Certainly. I recommend the Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver, part # 76225. I like that once it's installed you only see the open receiver tube and not the crossbeam. It is a more difficult install and requires you to cut some fascia on your 2015 Dodge Journey. I've linked the video from when we installed it along with the install details for you. If you prefer an eaier install then look at the Curt # C13201. To install the Curt you need to temporarily remove the spare tire and lower...

• Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2015 Dodge Journey Crossroads
  
• I spoke with my contact over at Curt and he said the old hitch 13335 is not a fit for the Crossroads models because of an exhaust bracket interference issue. The redesigned version, # C13201, will fit both the regular and Crossroads models of the 2015 Dodge journey. If you want to go ahead and replace the hitch with the new version then I also 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...

• Comparing 2-Inch Class III Hitches for 2015 Dodge Journey

• Determine if 2014 Dodge Journey has LED or Incandescent Taillights for Trailer Hitch and Wiring
  
• Easiest way to tell is to watch the lights illuminate. If they come on immediately with basically zero transition between off and on and are almost painful to look at you have LEDs. If you can watch the bulb get brighter and looking at the light doesn't hurt your eyes you would have incandescents. Also if the bulb is round and has that old school style of wiring in it where there is two vertical wires and a couple horizontal wires that run between them that is incandescent. For a...
