  • Does Exhaust Have To Be Lowered When Installing A Trailer Hitch On 2014 Dodge Dart
  • Many times the manufacturer suggests lowering the exhaust to provide more room to work with when installing a hitch, it is not always required. If you decide there is simply not enough room to work with and want to lower the exhaust it is quite simple to do so by removing a rubber grommet and the strap that holds the exhaust securely. You should always make certain your car exhaust is cool before working close to it under the vehicle. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, part...

  • Availability of Replacement Lock Plugs for Thule Traverse Foot Pack
  • I spoke with my contact at Thule and she informed me that the lock plugs for the Thule Traverse Roof-Rack Foot Pack are not available as a replacement part. The Replacement Lock Plug # 853-3160 that you referenced are designed for certain model bike and cargo carriers, so they will not fit these feet. Your best option for covering the holes on your feet is to simply use lock cylinders in their place, which will also give you added security. You can use the Thule One-Key System # TH450400...

  • License Plate Mount for a Trailer Hitch Receiver Mounted Bike Rack
  • You will need to check with your local DMV to verify any laws, city or county ordinances that specify the visibility of your license plate behind the bike rack. We don't have any that are directly intended for this application, but some of the more popular ones are the Thule Replacement Licence Plate Bracket, part # 753-2023 and the Optronics License Plate Mount, part # LP10SB. If you plan on mounting and using either one of these, becuase they are not designed for this use, you'll have...

  • Can you Attach an Additional Mount to the Swagman 2 Platform Mount?
  • In this case, you can't attach an additional mount to the Swagman 2 Bike Platform, part # S64650. Because your 2013 Dodge Dart only has Class I hitches, you won't be able to use a bike rack for more than two bikes anyway.

  • How to Find a Brake Light Only Circuit on a Vehicle for Wiring Up Third Brake Light
  • The # C56179 is for installing trailer wiring on a vehicle so it would not be the correct kit for you. The easiest way to find a brake light only circuit on your vehicle would be to either tap into the circuit that runs to your current third brake light, or use a taillight converter like part # 118158. You would run the input side to the stop/turn circuits of your vehicle like the box is labeled, and then on the output side the red wire would be a dedicated brake light signal.

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2014 Dodge Dart for Karrite Cargo Box
  • The older cargo boxes like the Karrite you have are going to need a smaller bar style like square or round. The Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK402 will be your best option. The only thing you need to do is measure the distance between the mounting hardware to ensure that the crossbar spread of this kit which is 27-1/2 inches will be compatible. Due to the age of your box there isn't that specific fit info available to us.

  • What Trailer Hitch Offers the Best Ground Clearance for a 2013 Dodge Dart
  • The trailer hitch we offer with the most ground clearance for a 2013 Dodge Dart is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11281. The receiver tube will sit just directly below the rear bumper fascia so you only really loose a few inches of ground clearance. This should not create an issue for most driveways.

  • Is Drilling Required When Installing Trailer Hitch On 2015 Dodge Dart
  • The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2015 Dart is the Curt, part # C11281. This is a Class l hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. When installing this hitch you do not have to drill any holes in the frame. You use existing holes as explained in the instructions. You just remove the rubber plugs from the holes and the hitch will use them for the hitch install. You may need to clean dirt or corrosion out of the holes in the frame, and can use a nylon brush like part # 814092....

  • Check Engine Light Comes On After Installing Base Plates on a 2013 Dodge Dart Limited
  • This is the first time I have heard of this issue with base plates # RM-52294-1. But if the bottom louvers where in place then the motor for them will be able to do its testing procedure and the check engine light should not come on. But you may still have to first have the trouble code cleared so the light goes off and then reinstall/hookup the bottom louvers. That will solve the issue. Pay special attention to step 12 in the instructions, linked for reference, because the actuating...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2013 Dodge Dart Rallye
  • From my research I found that the towing capacity for your 2013 Dodge Dart Rallye has a maximum towing capacity of 1,000 lbs.

This is a Class l hitch and has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The ball mount I recommend is the Draw-Tite Ball Mount, part # 3592. This fits 1-1/4 inch receivers and uses hitch balls with a 3/4...

  • Recommended Hitch Adapter to Expand Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2015 Dodge Dart
  • We do offer various hitch adapters that can turn the 1-1/4 inch receiver on your 2015 Dodge Dart into a 2 inch opening. For example, the Brophy # HTAD will insert into the receiver opening and provide the larger 2 inch opening needed for a lot of hitch-mounted accessories. An important factor to keep in mind is that that the use of any hitch adapter will reduce its tongue weight capacity by 50%. For example, if your the trailer hitch on your Dodge Dart has a 200 pound weight capacity, this...

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch for 2015 Dodge Dart Fit SXT Model
  • According to Curt the trailer hitch # C11281 does fit your 2015 Dodge Dart SXT. If you're adding the hitch to carry a bike rack I recommend the Swagman Trailhead, part # S63360. It's a great economical rack that folds up when you're not using it and tilts away when you want to access the Dart's trunk. It carries up to 35 pound bikes and can have locks added using part # S64031. I've linked a video of the 4-bike version of the Trailhead for you on a Dart so you can get an idea of how...
