The Inno Feet, part # INSU-K5 come with the locking hand knobs and includes 2 keys as well. view full answer...
I apologize but at this time our manufacturers are only producing hitches for the SE and SXT models, not the R/T. The R/T is a performance minded model and due the differences between the R/T and SE/SXT models, a hitch cannot be safely attached to the frame. view full answer...
Yes, the Derale Oil cooler part # D15502 that you referenced will fit and work well on your 2007 Dodge Caliber R/T. I looked up the thread size of your oil filter and it's 22 mm x 1.5 mm which is the same size as one of the fittings that comes with this kit. view full answer...
Draw Bars are needed for towing. Another name for them, that to me makes more sense, is "ball mount" Basically this is the piece of metal that inserts into the hitch opening that holds the hitch ball for your trailer to connect to. If you want to tow with your 2007 Dodge Caliber you will need a ball mount. First you need a hitch installed though. For that the Draw Tite part # 24769 is the correct fit. And then for a ball mount/draw bar you'd want the part # 3591 which is what Draw Tite... view full answer...
There's no way to fit a hitch for an Elantra to a Caliber. The vehicles are so different that the hitches are made totally different. You'd end up paying way more for a fabricator to Frankenstein you a solution using the old hitch than just to go with a new one that's designed and rated for your 2007 Dodge Caliber.
For that you would want the Draw Tite hitch part # 24769 which is a confirmed fit and would work well.
I attached an install video for you to check out as well. view full answer...
Although we don't have a carrier that would be compatible with any of the hitches available for your Caliber, we do have a solution that would allow you to transport your scooter. Your best bet for transporting the scooter with that vehicle would be to use a small utility trailer like # K2MMT5X7.
To set your vehicle up for towing, you'd first need to install a hitch. As long as your Caliber isn't an SRT-4 model, you could use the Draw-Tite Class I hitch, part # 24769. The hitch does not... view full answer...
All of the available trailer hitches for your 2007 Dodge Caliber are Class I model hitches. Trailer hitch manufacturers will typically try to match the rating/capacity of a hitch to the particular vehicle it is designed to fit. This is likely why there aren't any higher class hitches available for your Dodge Caliber, as the vehicle itself does not have the capacity that a higher class unit would provide. I took a look at the online owner's manual for your vehicle and it does state that... view full answer...
First, the Thule OutWay platform rack # TH65JV is best suited for vehicles that have a metal bumper. This is because on plastic or fiberglass bumpers the weight of the rack and bikes can deform the bumper. With that said this rack will fit your 2009 Dodge Caliber but not the Hummer H3 because of the spare tire on the back.
For the Caliber a better option would be the Raceway 2 # TH45JV because it weighs less and is much less likely to cause any damage. It is a hanging style rack rather... view full answer...
In order to tow a trailer, you will need a hitch, a draw bar and pin and clip, a trailer ball and a vehicle wiring harness.
I would recommend the Draw-Tite Class I receiver, part # 24769. This receiver fits all Caliber Models EXCEPT for the R/T model. This hitch includes the pin and clip. If you have the R/T model, Curt Manufacturing offers a Class I receiver, part # C11006 that will fit all models except for the SRT-4. The draw bar and pin and clip are also included.

The only trailer hitches available for a 2007 Dodge Caliber are Class I trailer hitches that have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. They also have a 200 pound tongue weight capacity which is not going to be high enough to support the weight of the bike and carrier.
A higher capacity hitch is not available because the vehicle cannot support the weight. Make sure to consult the vehicle owners manual in the towing section to determine the towing capacities of your Caliber.

Transmission coolers do an excellent job keeping the transmission fluid cool to prevent damage from happening, but if your transmission already has problems it won't fix the issue.
Your best option would be to take your vehicle to a qualified transmission repair shop and let them diagnose the noise your vehicle has. Once the problem is addressed I would then recommend installing a transmission cooler to prevent future problems as heat is the number one killer of transmissions.

This Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, part # 24769, has towing capacities of 2000 lbs total trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight. If your boat and trailer weighs less than that this hitch would be adequate for you.
You should also consult the owners manual of your 2007 Dodge Caliber SXT for the towing capacity of your vehicle. You should always go with the lowest towing capacity of all the components of your towing setup when determining your overall towing capacity.
If you determine that... view full answer...
If your CVT transmission has lines that run from the transmission to the radiator (some do, some do not), you can install a transmission cooler. A transmission cooler is inexpensive insurance that would do a great job of extending the life of your transmission.
If this is the case, a combination transmission/oil cooler would be a good choice. The Derale Combination Transmission and Engine Oil Cooler, part # D15902 might be a good choice for you. The Cooler Kit includes everything necessary... view full answer...
It's very possible that you could tow a Jet Ski with your 2007 Dodge Caliber but you will need to check a few things first. You will need to know what the owners manual of the Caliber says is the towing capacity for the vehicle and you will need to know the weight of the trailer with the Jet Ski loaded on it. If the Jet Ski weighs less than the weight capacity for the vehicle you would be OK to tow with it.
Now for a hitch you would want the Draw Tite hitch part # 24769. I attached an... view full answer...
We can't recommend snow chains for a vehicle if the owners manual states that they cannot be used for liability and safety reasons. But we are aware that in some instances dealers in areas near snowy parts of the country will make exceptions to the rules outlined in the owners manual. In your situation that's what you need to do. Find a local Dodge dealer and ask them what they recommend you do to travel through an area that requires snow chains.

This Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 24769, will fit on your 2008 Dodge Caliber. Also, this hitch has towing capacities of 2,000 lbs total trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight because it is a Class I trailer hitch. All of the hitches available for your Caliber are Class I with the same capacities. I also recommend checking your owners manual for the towing capacity of your vehicle. There are many instances where the towing capacity of the vehicle does not match the capacity... view full answer...
We have several trunk mount bike racks listed as a fit for the 2009 Dodge Caliber. I have included a link to them for you. I personally own the OutWay 3-bike rack, # TH56BV, that you have referenced. This is the best trunk mount bike rack I have used. It has a plethora of features but my favorite is the the way in which it mounts.
The OutWay uses 2 retractable cables instead of 6 straps like other racks. This makes installation/removal of the rack fast and easy. It also features anti-sway... view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # 24769 is the trailer hitch receiver I recommend for your 2008 Dodge Caliber. I've attached a video of this simple bolt on installation for you. All the installation hardware is included with the hitch.
For your wiring, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118552 which will connect behind your tail lights and give you a 4-way trailer connector. Once you've plugged... view full answer...
The Curt trailer wiring kit part # C55050 is a confirmed fit for your 2007 Dodge Caliber and was designed specifically for your taillight configuration so it would fit and function perfectly fine.

We do not carry any 1-bike trunk-mount bike carriers that fit your car, but we can offer you choices in 2-bike carriers that are confirmed to fit well on your 2007 Dodge Caliber that has a spoiler at the roofline.
The Gateway Pro # TH88VR is a good choice. Both racks are reasonably lightweight, both are USA-made and both are covered by Thule's limited lifetime warranty.
Videos for both racks are linked for you to further illustrate their features and installation. view full answer...
