Does Draw Tite Hitch part # 36455 Require Fascia Trimming like Curt Hitch for 2012 Town and Country

Question

Question:

Hi, good afternoon. Id like to order one of these products for my 2012 Chrysler Town and Country Mini-Van I am a little scared to order the CURT 13364 if I need to make a cut in the back faring for a best fit. I noticed the Draw-tite 36455 does not make any mention of this. In your experience, would my fears be alleviated by sticking to the 36455? thanks very much for your assistance and this e-mail advice service. A1 service!!

Helpful Expert Reply:

I think the Draw-Tite Hitch part # 36455 would be your better option. There is not fascia trimming required with this hitch being installed on your 2012 Chrysler Town and Country and if you were to carry a bike rack on the hitch you would not be required to use a stabilizer strap like the Curt hitch # 13364 requires.

I attached a link to an install video and instructions for you to check out as well.
