Helpful Expert Reply:
If you look at your owner's manual on page 428 it states that the max tongue weight for your 2011 Dodge Charger is 100 lbs if you have the 3.6L engine or 200 lbs if you have the 5.7L engine. Because of this you will need to tow a small trailer behind your Charger to carry your power chair.
Even though it is rated for more weight than your Charger can handle, I recommend installing the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76145 for your trailer hitch. You also need a ball mount and hitch ball, like what is included in the etrailer Kit # 989900, and a wiring harness like the T-One # 118560 to activate the light signals on your trailer.
Be sure to check out the linked ball mount article to ensure the ball mounts in our kit are correct for your application.
