Does Draw Tite Hitch for 2014 Dodge Journey Replace Bumper Beam
Question:
I am looking to install this hitch on a 2014 Dodge Journey R/T. Since the rear bumper reinforcement is left off during installation, does this have an effect on the crashworthiness in a rear end collision? Would it possibly cause problems with an insurance claim if an accident were to happen?

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Draw Tite hitch part # 76225 does replace the bumper beam of your 2014 Dodge Journey. If anything the hitch is stronger than the beam so it would not make the vehicle weaker or more dangerous in an accident. Insurance would not be affected either.
