See what our Experts say about this Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch

• Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2013 Dodge Avenger SXT
  Yes, the Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24871 fits all models of the 2013 Dodge Avenger including your SXT. I have included a link to a video showing installation. The model in the video has single exhaust but installation for dual exhaust models would basically be the same. If you plan on doing any towing then the correct ball mount to use is # 3594. For a 1-7/8 inch ball you can use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. And for trailer wiring use # C56211. If you want to use the hitch...

• Does Draw Tite Hitch # 24871 Fit 2012 Chrysler 200 with Dual Exhaust
  We've spoken with Draw Tite before about their # 24871 hitch and it fits just fine on versions of your 2012 Chrysler 200 that have dual exhaust tips so this hitch would work well for you. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Cargo Carrier for 2011 Chrysler 200
  For your 2011 Chrysler 200, we have a confirmed fit for both the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24871 and the Curt # C11133. The Draw-Tite hitch will be recessed too far under your bumper for a cargo carrier, so I recommend the Curt hitch which will require stabilizer strap # 18050 and has a measurement of 4-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin to the outermost part of the bumper. You will simply need a Class I rated cargo carrier with the closest part of the rack...

• Carrying Snowboards on a Trailer Hitch or Roof Rack for a 2012 Chrysler 200
  For a trailer hitch for your 2012 Chrysler 200, I recommend the Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24871 because it does not require the use of a stabilization strap for non-trailer loads like the Curt hitch does. I have included a link to the instructions and a video showing a typical installation for you. Because this is a Class I trailer hitch there are only certain bike racks that you can use. The HitchSki, # Y02418, only fits on certain Yakima 4-bike racks, none of which will fit in a Class...

• Hitch Compatibility with Dual Exhaust on 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible
  The Curt Class I receiver you mentioned, part # C11081 is compatible with the Sedan model only. Draw-Tite tells me that their Class I receiver # 24871 is a fit for the 2008 Sebring Convertible, regardless of the exhaust set-up. To complete your towing set-up, you might also need the following: Vehicle wiring harness with 4-pole trailer connector, part # 118444 Drawbar # 3594 Pin and Clip # PC2 1-7/8 inch trailer ball, part # 19256 or 2 inch trailer ball, part # 19258 To see installation...

• What is the Towing Capacity of a 2009 Chrysler Sebring with 2.4 Liter 4 Cylinder Engine
  I found an owners manual online for the 2009 Chrysler Sebring and found that the vehicles with the 2.4 liter engine can tow up to 1,000 pounds gross trailer weight and 100 pounds tongue weight. The towing section starts on page 338 in the manual. This does limit what you can tow quite a bit so I do recommend a different towing vehicle since you will not get much of a camper under 1,000 pounds. If you do plan on towing with this vehicle then you can use hitch # 24871. The recommended...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2009 Chrysler Sebring Convertible for a Bike Rack
  The Curt trailer hitch, # C11081, will only fit the sedan models, but I would recommend the Draw-Tite trailer hitch, # 24871, over the Curt hitch any way. The reason is that the Draw-Tite hitches undergo additional voluntary testing and you do not have to use a stabilization strap for bike racks or cargo carriers like you do with the Curt hitch. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view. This is a Class I trailer hitch which means only certain bike racks will...

• 3-Bike Rack Recommendation for 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible
  For your 2008 Chrysler Sebring convertible the Hollywood Racks Express part # HRE3 is a confirmed fit and would work well as long as you do not have a spoiler on your Sebring. It can carry up to 3 bikes, is priced great and was tested on your vehicle and determined to be a fit. This is a trunk-mount carrier. If you do have a spoiler, I can offer another trunk-mount carrier, the Hollywood Racks Expedition 2 Bike carrier # HRF6-2. It works with most spoilers. In your question, you asked...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible
  I would recommend going with the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 24871, for your 2008 Sebring Convertible, see included instructions. For a cargo carrier I would recommend the Curt Cargo Carrier, item # C18145, which is a 17 by 46 inch carrier that fits a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver. I've attached a video of this carrier for you. If you would like to complete a towing setup you can use the T-One Wiring Harness, item # 118444, and a properly sized ball mount and hitch ball. If your trailer...

• Selecting Correct Ball Mount for Use with Class II Hitch on 2010 Dodge Avenger
  Your 2010 Dodge Avenger can be fitted with either a light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch like Draw-Tite # 24871 or a higher-capacity Class II type like # 36448. If you have a Class I hitch you need to use the recommended ball mount shown on the hitch page, but if you have a Class II hitch like # 36448 you can select a compatible Class II ball mount with the specific amount of height rise or drop you need to keep the hitched trailer level and with the length you need for good clearance between...

• Will Draw-Tite Hitch 24871 Fit the 2013 Chrysler 200 and Work With a 2-Bike Class I Hitch Carrier

With this 1-1/4-inch installed (it bolts into place - no drilling and no welding) you can use a compatible 2-bike Class I bike carrier. Do please note that Class I hitches can only handle the load of 2 bikes, even if the carrier itself can hold more. The linked article on hitch classes will explain in detail. I have also included...

• Trailer Hitch Receiver and Other Parts to Tow a Trailer with a 2010 Chrysler Sebring Convertible
  The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11081 is confirmed to fit the 2010 Chrysler Sebring sedan but not the convertible model. For the convertible use Draw-Tite # 24871 that is confirmed to fit. If you're going to be towing a trailer with the Sebring then you'll need trailer wiring as well. Use # 118444 which plugs in behind both tail lights. Also the recommended ball mount is the Draw-Tite # 3594. It gives you 4 inches of rise. The compatible hitch ball is # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball...

• Recommended Bike Rack for a 2008 Sebring Convertible
  You are correct the Draw-Tite 1-1/4 inch hitch # 24871 will be a great choice for your vehicle. I can help you with choosing a bike rack. I would highly recommend the Thule 2-Bike Helium # TH9042PRO. The distance from center of hitch pin hole to back of upright mast is 14-3/8 inches, see linked image. This would certainly be enough clearance for the convertible top to be opened or closed with the bikes loaded and without having to tilt the bike rack away from the vehicle. The Helium...

• Bike Rack to Carry 3 bikes with a 2014 Dodge Avenger R/T V-6
  For your 2014 Dodge Avenger R/T there are only Class I hitches available. Which as you have already determined means that you cannot carry more than 2 bikes on a rack installed in the hitch. One way around this is to use a 3-bike trunk mounted rack like the Thule OutWay part # TH56BV. This rack has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle and will allow you to carry up to 3 bikes. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also...

• Lowering Exhaust and Using Fishwire to Install a Trailer Hitch on a 2013 Dodge Avenger
  First, to lower the exhaust, the first thing that our installers do is hang a support strap from one side of the vehicle to the other side to support the exhaust once it is off the hangers. To get the exhaust off of the rubber hangers you will need to spray them down with some lubricant like WD40. Then you can use a small pry bar or other flat tool to push the exhaust off the rubber part and then let it rest on the strap. To use the fish wire you will just thread the bolt onto the end,...

• Bike Rack Recommendation for 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible
  The trunk-mount rack I suggest for your 2008 Chrysler Sebring convertible is the Hollywood Racks Express 3 # HRE3. This rack's design allows it to clear your trunk-mounted antenna. If you are willing to install a light-duty Class I hitch on the car, such as # 24871 from Draw-Tite, then you can avoid placing any extra stress on your trunk (and your antenna) by using a hitch-mount rack like the Swagman XC # S64650. Hitch racks put the entire weight load of the rack and bike on the car's...

  Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24871 will fit your 2013 Chrysler 200S with dual exhaust so it would be a great option for you. You will need the proper ball mount, part # 3594.

I have included links to videos showing the hitch being installed.

• Installation and Operation Instructions for the Curt Stabilization Strap on a 2013 Chrysler 200
  I can help show you a little better what this strap will look like when installed on your vehicle. While there is no specific video to your 2013 Chrysler 200, I do have two videos that demonstrate the stabilization strap # 18050 be used with the non-trailer loads, which are going to be most commonly bike racks and cargo carriers. The Curt hitch # C11133 is a confirmed fit for your 200, but if you would rather not use a strap, like most customers don't when setting up your accessories,...

• Fitting A Trailer Hitch Receiver To A 2012 Chrysler 200

• Availability of 2" Hitch Receiver for a 2013 Dodge Avenger
  The only trailer hitch receiver size available for your 2013 Dodge Avenger is 1-1/4" like what you find with the Curt # C11133 and Draw-Tite # 24871. Out of these 2 I recommend the Curt because it has a thicker powder coat and a collar at the end of the receiver. You technically can use the Brophy Hitch Adapter # HTAD so that you can use an accessory that has a 2" shank, but using this adapter does reduce the weight rating of the hitch by 50% so right off the bat you're down to 100 lbs...

• Hitch Adapter To Convert 1-/4" Hitch Receiver To 2" And Increase Ground Clearance By 5"
  Your best and safest way to fit your 2" bike rack onto your vehicle's 1-1/4" hitch receiver, all while increasing ground clearance, is to use Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver with 5" Rise # HT5R. Keep in mind this adapter will reduce your hitch's tongue weight capacity by 50%. For example, the Draw-Tite # 24871 on your 2014 Chrysler 200 has a max tongue weight of 200lbs, but with the adapter you will have a max tongue weight of 100lbs. I have attached a demonstration video...

• Is There a Class II Trailer Hitch Receiver Available for a 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible
  The only trailer hitch receiver option for your 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible is the Draw-Tite Sportframe # 24871, which is only a Class I hitch. Due to the design of your Sebring, there are no Class II options available. This trailer hitch has a Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) of 2,000 lbs and a Tongue Weight (TW) of 200 lbs.
