etrailer Class III Trailer Hitch Installation - 2019 Dodge Journey

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer. And today we are installing the etrailer.com Class 3 trailer hitch receiver on a 2019 Dodge Journey. So one of the things you'll first notice while looking at the hitch installed is the fact that it is an exposed cross tube, which simply means that you can actually see the hitch portion hanging down below the fascia. And overall it does look pretty good with its nice black powder coat finish and that's going to keep it nice and sturdy and robust and also hold up to the weather over time. One other thing you're going to notice is the two inch by two inch trailer hitch receiver opening and this is going to be great for a number of different accessories. Your two inch by two inch is the most common for your bike cracks, cargo carriers, ball mounts whatever it may be. more

Ryan: Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer. Today on our 2014 Dodge Journey, we're going to be taking a look at it, and showing you how to install the Draw-Tite Max-Frame trailer hitch receiver. So my first impression of the hitch is that it's going to look really good. It's going to be pretty much completely hidden for the most part, the only thing you're going to be able to see here is the receiver tube opening. And that has a big appearance advantage over some of the other hitches, which are completely visible. The other ones will hang down, and you're really going to be able to see all that. more

As far as recreational use goes, we found the Draw-Tite hitch that's hidden behind the fascia to be the winner here because it does offer the most ground clearance and the hitch pin hole is the furthest away from the back bumper.As far as towing goes, we found the Draw-Tite hitch which is visible underneath the bumper to be the winner here because it does support the use of weight distribution and it does have the additional mounting bracket already included on it.

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2013 Dodge Journey - Curt

Today on our 2013 Dodge Journey we're going to take a look at and then show you how to install the CURT custom fit class three 2" trailer hitch receiver, part number C13201. As you can see, our CURT custom fit hitch is going to have a nice look to it. All of our attachment hardware, all of the connections are up here out of the way where we can't see them. We're just going to have the drop bar that comes down and around, tucks back in over here on this same side. No modifications of the vehicle that are really required. As you can see, it's going to go right underneath the spare tire here so we're not going to have to worry about any kind of interference there. The end of the tube is just inside the outer edge of the bumper; it sits in about a 1/4" or so so it's not hanging out so far to where you might hit your leg or bumps might on it, and it's not tucked in so far where it really eliminates a lot of options as far as bike rack's or carriers might be concerned. more
