Rugged, Matte Black Finish

The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

Installed by myself in 30 minutes including time for cleaning factory holes. I also used loctite gel to secure the bolts. I found etrailer on youtube and found the videos very informative and installing a belief that I could do it myself. I used the hitch to pull a 1200 lb stump grinder from the local equipment rental. I own a 2007 dodge nitro. The wiring harness took longer just running and hiding the hotwire to the battery. Thanks etrailer!!!

Excellent product and service. Delivery was fast and instructions were perfect. I purchased the hitch to install on a 12 year old vehicle. The mounting nuts were extremely rusty. I followed the recommendation provided by etrailer to chase the threads with a tap. It worked perfectly and installation was a breeze.



by:

This hitch receiver works great. Installation was simple to install but took much longer than what the videos imply. Cleaning and preparing the sockets to receive the new bolts that hold on the hitch receiver took longer and more difficult than expected.

The hitch receiver worked fine. Unfortunately I know longer have the Dodge Nitro and have the hitch receiver for sale.

I have never reviewed any product I ever purchased off the internet before. However, I researched a lot of class III hitches for my 07 Dodge Nitro and I settled on this product because of the price and added customer support from this retailer. As usual, my expectations were met. The main reason for an excellent rating is not so much the product but the retailer. This year is 2015, which makes my Nitro eight years old. If it wasn't for the great instruction videos from Etrailer.com, I would have had an impossible time consuming task mounting this hitch. But, having watched these instruction videos, I was able to anticipate all potential installation problems and was prepared. A word of caution to any potential customers with a vehicle as old as mine; you will have to tap all your holes and the one bolt holding the bracket - have at least a 24 inch breaker bar ready. Thank you Etrailer.com for all your very helpful instructions. You went above and beyond what any other retailer would have done.



by:

The hitch itself is very nice but the bolts that came with it were wrong and did not fit so I had to go to hardware store and buy 6 new ones to fit and they only had Stainless steel at a cost of $[XX].



by:

This receiver was a breeze to install. Lots of room to work within, and the class 3 will work very well for light duty towing and for mounting my bike rack. Tubular style reciever hitch looks great under the bumber, and requires no cutting of plastic bumper cover.

the "Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" - 13334" was extremely easy to install. all the hardware (bolts/washers) were included and the directions were easy to follow. The "Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver" bolted on in the factory holes in the frame. installation time was less then 30 minutes.

very happy with this product and the ease of installation.

One year later and everything is holding up great. I’ve had zero problems with the hitch receiver.

From order to delivery to installation, etrailer has been awesome.



by:

Very happy with my new trailer hitch receiver. Customer service and prices at etrailer.com are great. My order arrived quickly and was custom fitted to my vehicle as promised. I recommend.



by:

Great Trailer Hitch! Strong and durable! Very easy to install. Thank you etrailer.



by:

Trailer Hitch was installed in less than 30 min. Great product to pull my boat. Simple installation took longer to clean out thread then put on the hitch. Now for wiring harness it took four hours to install trying to find place to wire tie the wire. But it finally was completed. Thanks for the fast service. Vic



by:

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13334 was quite simple to install; six bolts and you're done. Haven't had a chance to connect the wiring yet, but looks pretty straightforward. Etrailer has great communication, prompt shiopping, and great prices! Thank you.

  • Can Jeep Liberty Hitch Fit 2011 Dodge Nitro
    There are several factors that determine the towing capacity or weight carrying capacity of vehicles. Many times they may appear very similar but due to the frame, transmission or engine, the towing capacity can vary by quite a lot. My research revealed that the trailer hitches we offer for the Jeep Liberty were either Class ll or Class lll and have either the same or lower weight capacity as the hitches we offer for your Dodge Nitro. I would strongly recommend using a hitch that is designed...

  • 2012 Dodge Nitro Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations
    I recommend using the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e83KR for carrying a bike rack on your 2012 Dodge Nitro because it has a matte black finish to help match any black trim on your vehicle while also helping to protect it from scratches from road debris. When it comes to a bike rack I recommend the RockyMounts HighNoon FC Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # RKY67RR because it can accommodate heavier bikes and it uses wheel hooks to secure any bike without a front fender, but if your bike does...

  • Trailer Hitch and Accessory Recommendations for a 2008 Dodge Nitro
    The Curt trailer hitch, # 13334, fits the 2007 to 2012 Dodge Nitro, so it will fit your 2008. I have included a link to the installation instructions and a video for you on the 2008 model. There is one more hitch that fits your Dodge Nitro, the etrailer hitch # e83KR. These hitches are nearly identical except the # 13334 has a glossy black finish and the # e83KR has a matte black finish. If you plan on doing some towing, I recommend the etrailer ball mount kit, # 989900. It comes with...

  • Trailer Hitch, Wiring, Weight Distribution, and Transmission Cooler for a 2008 Dodge Nitro
    The first thing you are going to want to do is consult the owners manual for your 2008 Dodge Nitro to determine what the capacity of the vehicle is and that is the capacity you need to go by. I have it on good authority that the standard towing capacity is 2,000 pounds and with the factory tow package it increases to 3500 pounds and up to 5,000 pounds with weight distribution and the factory tow package. There may be other things in the factory tow package like different engine tune or...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2007 Dodge Nitro
    Both the Curt # 13334 and the etrailer hitch # e83KR are very easy to install and are virtually identical hitches except for the finish. The Curt # 13334 has a traditional glossy black finish and the etrailer # e83KR has the modern matte black finish. I also attached a link to an install video for you to check out as well. Then for trailer wiring the easiest to install and most reliable option is the Tekonsha kit part # 118554 so it's what I'd recommend. Since you wanted to do some...

  • Best Weight Distribution Hitch w/ Sway Control For 2,000 lb Camper Swaying on Highway
    The best option here is to go with a weight distribution hitch (so long as your Dodge Nitro has a hitch rated for weight distribution like # e83KR) because it is going to do a much better job of controlling sway than a friction bar. Since you are okay in general but are getting strong sway on the highway, the best option is a 2-point sway control hitch. The correct fit for a 2,000 lb camper with your tongue weight is the following: - Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control...
