Hitch Recommendation for a 2007 Dodge Caliber Towing a Jet Ski Trailer
Question:
Can you tow a Jet Ski with a Dodge Caliber 2007?
asked by: Jeff
Expert Reply:
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 install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.
You will also need trailer wiring so that your trailer's taillights will activate with your vehicle taillights. For that you would want the # C55050. For a ball mount you would want the # 3591, for a hitch ball you would either want the 1-7/8 inch ball # 19256 or the 2 inch ball # 19258 depending on what size coupler the trailer has.
