Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2005 Dodge Durango
Question:
I have a 2005 Dodge Durango that I need to install a class 3 tow hitch on. Prefer the cheapest round tubing, direct fit.No Drill. Can you help me find the correct hitch ,please?

Expert Reply:
The cheapest class III hitch for your Durango is going to be the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13072 but this isn't going to be a round tube hitch. This hitch will simply bolt to the crossmember on your car using the provided U-bolts, but you are going to have to drill two 1/2" bolt holes to finish the install.
The bit more expensive option # 13297 is going to check all of those boxes you're looking for, and will require no drilling into your crossmember because it'll utilize the existing bolt holes on the frame.
