Hitch Recommendation for a 2014 Chrysler Town and Country that Doesnt Require Fascia Trimming

Question

Question:

Have a 2014 Chrysler Town and Country Touring Model and it says possible fascia trimming is needed. We are leasing the vehicle so that cant be done. In your video, you do not mention the need to trim. Is there a way I can find out if this needs to be done without ordering the hitch first? Thanks for the help.

Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75579 will fit all models of the 2014 Chrysler Town and Country. There should be no bumper fascia trimming required. The only trimming mentioned in the instructions, linked to the right, is possibly on a mudflap. I have also included a link to a video showing a typical installation for you.

The Curt Hitch part # 13364 that you referenced would most likely require you to trim the fascia so I would not recommend it for you.

If you plan on doing some towing then I also recommend etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4EL. it comes with the proper extra long ball mount, interchangeable ball set, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. And for trailer wiring use # C56331. It plugs in line with the tail light wiring on the van. I have linked a video and isntructions for the wiring as well.
