After about a year of towing with the bumper hitch, I saw that the hole for the ball was almost twice as big and the bumper was beginning to crack. I put off getting a tow bar because I thought it would be 3 or 4 hundred dollars. Then I found the Curt trailer hitch on the internet for less than $150! The instructions were very clear and I was able to install it myself in about 45 minutes.

Still working like it is brand new.

2002 Dodge Dakota

A known issue .. the packaging is lousy. Both ends broke through on opposite sides of the box. Only real issue - one end was bent inward at an incorrect angle. Fortunately, I was able to put it in a large vise and straighten it.



by:
2000 Dodge Dakota

Easy no-drill installation on my 2000 Dakota. Nice hitch that feels solid. My only complaint is packaging. The mounting fins/tabs pushed through the cardboard box on box sides. Each side of the box had a hole that was approximately 2 inches x 8 inches. I was worried this could let the hardware packet fall out of the box. Luckily, they had the foresight to tape the hardware and instruction packet to the receiver with lots of packing tape.
Package it in a more puncture resistant manner and it would get 5 stars.

1999 Dodge Dakota

Product fit just like they said it would on my 99 Dakota sport 4x4 extended cab. I had to make adjustments because of rear bumper to bumper accident in the past but everything fit great. Ended up selling the truck but helped add value to truck.



by:

Packaging needs to be greatly improved, my hitch was sticking out of the box in two places when it arrived. One arm was bent bad enough that I had to put it in a vise and beat it with a hammer to get it back in place. Overall the hitch is excellent.



by:

Ordered a trailer hitch with mount for my truck true fit easy to install took me less than 20 min. This is my Second time ordering from this company wouldn't shop anywhere else, easy online ordering and fast delivery great customer service highly recommended.



by:

This product from Curt is a great piece.
It installed just as explained in the video.
I've used it to pull a 24' trailer with a car on it
and it worked as intended. For sale, my old one!

Perfect fit, extremely easy install on my 2004 Dodge Dakota! Excellent quality and super-mega fast delivery. Etrailer is top-notch best in class, no need to go anywhere else for accessories...no one else can beat the price, customer service or delivery.



by:

Easy to install. My only challenge was the rusted bolts on my truck. I will also have to buy a new hitch component since the one I have does not line up with the holes on this Hitch Receiver.

  • Recommended Hitch to Fit on a 1995 Dodge Dakota
    The Hitch # C13145 will fit your 1995 Dodge Dakota as long as it does not have the optional rear spoiler, lower rear fascia, or a roll pan or tube bumper. If you plan on doing some towing, you will also want to pick up a wiring harness. The wiring harness that I recommend for your truck is the Tow Ready T-One Harness, # 118329. This harness will simply plug into your tail light assemblies and does not require any cutting or splicing. The final items that you may need to complete your...

  • How To Install a 7-Way Trailer Connector On a 1999 Dodge Dakota
    Yes, assuming that plug you have found does indeed contain the trailer brake and battery charge circuits you can clip this off and then hardwire in a 7-way for which I recommend using the Hopkins Endurance Quick-Install 7-Way Trailer Connector with Universal Pigtail Harness part # HM47210. I can't tell you what color wires go where though so you will need to test this yourself. In order to complete your towing setup you will need a brake controller, the Brake EVN # TK63VR with the Tekonsha...

  • Difference Between Curt Class III # C13145 and # C13280 for a 2003 Dodge Dakota
    The primary differences between the Curt # C13280 and # C13145 are cosmetic. The C13280 would be mainly concealed behind the rear bumper, while the C13145 would be visible. The hitches have identical capacities, so either would work great from a functional standpoint. Because there's not an important difference between the two, I'd personally choose the C13280 because of its lower cost. It just so happens we offer a small trailer designed for carrying kayaks and other items that would...

  • What is the Towing Weight Capacity of a 2004 Dodge Dakota
    The towing capacity of your 2004 Dodge Dakota is 3,400 to 4,650 lbs. If you were to install the Curt Class 3 Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13145 which has a Gross Trailer Weight of 5,000 lbs and a Tongue Weight of 500 lbs your Dakota would be the limiting factor and you would still only be able to haul up to 4,650 lbs. Please keep in mind that the Tongue Weight of your trailer should be between 10-15 percent of the GTW of your trailer.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch That Is Least Visible On 1994 Dodge Dakota
    The trailer hitch I recommend for your 1994 Dakota with the least visibility is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # C13145. This trailer hitch is designed with the receiver tube even with the horizontal bar of the hitch. Most hitches have the receiver tube welded below the bar, making it more visible. None of the aftermarket hitches will be completely hidden as they are mounted below the truck frame but this hitch is the least visible of the hitches we offer. If you plan on doing...

  • Will Curt Hitch # C13145 Fit 2003 Dodge Dakota With Aftermarket Bumper Installed
    The Curt trailer Hitch, part # C13145, is a fit for your 2003 Dodge Dakota if you do not have a tube bumper or aftermarket fascia installed. I spoke with my contact at Curt and they took the measurement for me that may help you out. It measures 4-1/2 inches from the frame to the top of the receiver tube. If you can measure from the frame under your Dakota where the hitch is to be mounted down, and you have more than 4-1/2 inches to the bottom of your bumper you will have plenty of room...

  • Difference Between the Curt Hitch # C13145 and # C13280 for a 2001 Dodge Dakota
    The hitch opening will be in the exact same spot between the Curt Hitch # C13145 and Curt Hitch # C13280. The only difference between these hitches is that the # C13280 is a square tube hitch whereas the # C13145 is a round tube hitch. Either hitch will work with your factory spare, if you check out the install video I attached for the # C13280 you will see that a full sized spare is still able to be installed with the hitch.

    Bed length does not matter in this case. Curt trailer hitch # C13145 will fit your 1998 Dodge Dakota with 6-1/2 foot bed. If you plan on doing some towing I 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 or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level,...

    Yes, you will need to remove one existing bolt on your driver side frame rail in order to install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13145 or any trailer hitch for that matter on your 2003 Dodge Dakota Sport. In regards to your spare tire, this will not need to be removed or lowered to perform the install whereas most others do require this.

    Curt actually offers two different Class III hitches for the 1999 Dodge Dakota. The Curt # C13280 features a square crossbar tube that will be concealed behind the truck's bumper. The only visible portion of the hitch would be the receiver tube right under the back bumper. The Curt # C13145 uses a round tube crossbar, most of which would be visible from behind the vehicle. Both hitches would install in the same manner, as you can see from the instructions I'll link to, and both hitches...

  • How Much Can the Bumper Tow On a 2004 Dodge Dakota
    I looked up the towing capacity of the rear step bumper on a 2004 Dodge Dakota in the owner's manual for you and it can handle up to 2,000 lbs. If you need to tow a heavier trailer then you will need to use a frame mounted trailer hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13145 which should allow you to utilize the full towing capacity of the vehicle.

This hitch does not require any drilling for installation either. The installation instructions that I have attached mention drilling some bolt holes on the underside of the frame, but that is only for older generation models, not for your truck. You should have all bolt holes pre-drilled...
