Would have been easier to install with two people. But works as advertised. No problems at all with it.

The recommended hitch by the Curt brand was a perfect fit and finish.



by:
2002 Dodge Durango

Shipping was lightning fast, but the product was damaged in shipping due to inadequate packing. The receiver had poked out through the too-weak carboard, allowing more than half of the hardware to be lost in some shipping truck or depot. etrailer refused to overnight me the hardware, claiming that do do so was impossible. That's obvious nonsense, because I can get something to any of my clients anywhere in the US overnight. Anyone can. So etrailer has lost a customer.

The hitch itself is OK, but just OK. It could have been very simple to fit, but the holes were slightly misplaced, relative to the vehicle -- which has had no damage history. The frame looks brand new. With all the hardware loose enough to allow alignment, one bolt took considerable force to line up by flexing the hitch frame by about 1/4 inch.


Mediocre hitch, rotten customer service.

1999 Dodge Durango

This hitch was installed on a 1999 Dodge Durango. The quality of the Curt hitch is excellent. I'm very happy with it. I did have trouble with one of the four mounting bolts--left rear-most--due to the existence of a large body mount bolt directly above it. I wish that the rearmost bolts had been about 3/8" to 1/2" shorter than they are. It would have made that part of the install much easier. As is I was barely able to get it in there with way too much time involved. I would have cut that bolt down except that I didn't have a 1/2-13 die on hand to clean it up after cutting. The other three mounting bolts were quick and direct.

I was also happy with the quality of the Curt electrical harness that I ordered with this hitch. However, the install on the electrical was quite tedious, time consuming, and painful/bloody. This was mostly the fault of the Durango design and that my hands were too big for the space I had to get into. However the cable for the four wire connector to the trailer is too short and won't reach where it needs to go. I will have to splice in a long section to get down to the hitch. Fortunately the trailer cable is long enough to reach up to the connection with the rear lift gate open so that I could check out function. Everything works.

Overall very nice quality. The only drawback was that the install was not as easy as advertised. But it's done and it works. Thanks.

The hitch is used often and does the job very well. Until I reread the review, I had forgotten about difficulties I had with the install...that were almost totally due to the Durango design. I intend to continue to use your products on my other vehicles.

The hitch for my 2002 Dodge Durango was an exact fit, high quality heavy steel construction and has worked perfectly without a hitch (no pun intended).....also purchased the taillight connector which was easy to install and also is top quality..I highly recommend ETrailer for any towing needs......

Got the right hitch and wiring harness with no problem at all.
Quick and easy!

Thanks etrailer.com

The hitch fit perfectly and use it regularly. I highly recommend etrailer for any of your hitch needs!!!



by:
2002 Dodge Durango

Instructions say 20 minute install but surely wasn't. 1 bolt needed shortened due to the hole being right under a body mounting bolt and being too tight to slide it in. Everything else went smoothly and with cutting the bolt was able to get it done in about an hour. Shipping was fast and well packaged. Would definitely buy again. Just be advised you may need to do a little tweaking.



by:

price was best with free shipping included....made in USA put you over the top.
good job



by:

The last Bolt hole didn't line up and part of the unit had torn through the box when the package arrived. The Metal flexes so I think it got bent in shipping. It works but I had to farmer it.



by:

perfect under 30 min. everything lined up.



by:

The package was left out in the rain. The delivery co. didn't ring the door bell to let us know that a delivery had been made. I was expecting this delivery to be made on Friday, July 8th. Other than that, everything was ok.

Extremely easy to install by myself, no issues yet, overall happy with quality

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch

  • Measurements of Custom Trailer Hitch # C13097
    Some of the measurements of the Curt hitch, part # C13097, were a little tricky because the mounting holes towards the rear of the vehicle are not level with the holes towards the front. The easiest, the size of the receiver tube top to bottom, is 3 inches. From the top of the mounting holes closest to the rear of the vehicle to the bottom of the receiver are 7-1/4 inches. Those same holes to the top of the receiver tube is about 4 inches. The holes closest to the front of the vehicle...

  • Will Hitch Model 75054 Fit a 2002 Dodge Durango?
    The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75054 will not fit a 2002 Dodge Durango. It is only a fit for 1984-2001 Jeep Cherokee and 1984-1990 Jeep Wagoneer models. For your 2002 Dodge Durango, you will instead want the Draw-Tite # 75081 or Curt # C13097. Both options are a confirmed fit for your Durango.

  • Highest Capacity Hitch Available for 2001 Dodge Durango
    A trailer weighing 8000 lb would be about twice the 4100 lb towing capacity of your 2001 Dodge Durango, according to what I found online. I wasn't able to find a pdf copy of the owner's manual online, so I'd recommend checking your owner's manual for confirmation of that towing capacity. The highest capacity hitch we offer for the 2001 Durango would have a 5000 lb towing/500 lb tongue weight capacity like the Curt Class III, part # C13097. Even though the Draw-Tite # 75081 hitch you'd...

  • Trailer Hitch Availability for 1999 Dodge Durango
    We do offer two different brands of 2-inch Class III rear trailer hitch for your 1999 Dodge Durango. Curt # C13097 and Draw-Tite # 75081 are your options. Between the two I suggest the Curt for its slightly lower cost. I was not able to confirm the hitch part 75115 that you referenced. We also offer a front-mount hitch from Curt, their # 31097; this is also a 2-inch receiver. All hitches include the required installation hardware and instructions, which are linked for you.

  • Correct Curt Trailer Hitch for a 2003 Dodge Durango
    The trailer hitch I recommend for a 2003 Dodge Durango is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13097. This hitch is a custom bolt-on fit with no drilling required. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13902 is not a good option and would require drilling but there isn't exact fits listed since it's universal. If you will be towing then you will also need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118334 which is plug and pay along with the etrailer Ball Mount Kit part # 989900.

    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13097 confirmed to fit your 2003 Dodge Durango does not come with the feeder wire because it is not needed on this installation. You can access the top and bottom of each hole. I've attached the installation instructions to help. If you will be towing with this hitch, I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118334 which installs to your factory wiriing behind your tail...
