Is There a Difference Between the Hitch Receivers Offered for the 2007 Chrysler Pacifica 4.0
Question:
Hi, with 3 trailer hitches to choose from I am getting confused. Are they are the same hitch with different names, like mattresses??? Or, are there important differences? I do not want to have to remove my spare tire, and I would prefer not to have to remove or lower my muffler, if possible. Which hitch do recommend? Thanks

The two hitch receivers offered for the 2007 Chrysler Pacifica, Curt # 13529 and Draw-Tite # 75522, are basically identical, have the same towing capacities, and will install in the same way. There really is no way to get around lowering the exhaust and removing your spare tire to ease the installation process so it is highly recommended.
Some say that Curt hitches have a better powder coating but for the most part, price is going to be the main difference. Now mattresses on the other hand, well that is a different story. I am a mattress snob! LOL
If you plan on doing some towing with your Pacifica, I have included an article that covers the steps to choosing the correct ball mount for your set-up. You might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, I have also included a link to additional ball mount options for you.
For trailer wiring, take a look at the Curt # C55530.
