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...
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...
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.

I checked to see which hitch you ordered for your 2011 Dodge Caliber and it was Draw-Tite hitch # 24769. For Class I trailer hitches like this you are supposed to use the ball mount recommended by the hitch manufacturer. In this case it is # 3591 and the hitch instructions indicate it should be used in the rise position only (with the ball platform on top). A hitch pin with clip is included.
If the trailer you will be towing takes a 1-7/8 inch ball you can use ball # 19256. And if it requires... view full answer...
In order to choose the correct ball mount for your tow vehicle and trailer, you will first need to take a couple of measurements.
With your tow vehicle parked on level ground, take a measurement from the ground to the top of the trailer hitch receiver. Then with your trailer on level ground, measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler. If the hitch height on your vehicle is greater, you will want to find a ball mount with a drop. If the coupler height is greater, you will want... 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...
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...
For your 2007 Dodge Caliber the hitch I recommend is the Draw Tite part # 24769 because unlike the Curt it does not require a stabilizer strap when carrying a non-supported load like a bike rack.
I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well. 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...
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.
If the Thule Chains part # TH01221104 are... 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...
All of the hitches available for the Dodge Caliber are Class I hitches. A Class I hitch has a very limited tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs (tongue weight is the maximum amount of weight that can be hung from the hitch without damaging anything). We do not offer any scooter carriers that are compatible with a Class I hitches.
The problem you will have is that the weight of the carrier plus the weight of the scooter will exceed the tongue weight capacity of the hitch, which leaves you... view full answer...
For your 2012 Dodge Caliber we have one roof rack option. The Inno square roof rack part numbers # INB127, # INSUT, and # INK555 which would do a great job to carry a small cargo carrier as long as it's compatible with the smaller crossbar spread of this rack. The part # MPG901 would work and provides 12 feet of cubic space. view full answer...
For your 2007 Dodge Caliber with a 2.0 liter engine the Kat's Heater # KH11812 is a confirmed fit. It actually installs in a cartridge on the engine block so you would not have to drain any coolant or anything. It does not directly contact the coolant in any way. Essentially it heats an area of the block that is very close to a water jacket which then warms the coolant.
The cartridge it installs in is in the front left position which is on the driver's of the block right in the middle... view full answer...
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...
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 trailer hitch receiver I recommend for your 2009 Dodge Caliber is the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24769.
This hitch is the easiest installation for your vehicle, requiring nothing more than lifting it into place and bolting it on, as you can see by the linked instructions and video install. If you plan on towing, there are a few more parts you are going to need to complete your set up, which I'll link for you.

For lighter duty vehicles like your 2008 Dodge Caliber there are only lighter duty hitches like the Draw Tite part # 27469 which would not be rated high enough for a power wheelchair and carrier so you'd need to use a small trailer with this hitch to carry a chair as heavy as yours.
You'd also need trailer wiring which for that you'd need # 118552 and then for a ball mount # 3591 and hitch ball # 19256. view full answer...
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.

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...
