Easiest DIY project ever!
By skippy1977
I recently purchased a 2013 Durango and wanted a hitch on it. The available towing package cost $895 and I didn't really feel like spending that much since I don't actually intend to tow anything, I just wanted to be able to mount a hitch-mounted bike rack. I found this and decided to give it a shot. I do alot of do-it-yourself stuff around my house but almost never on cars so this was a bit of a risk. The installation couldn't be easier. The only things in the box are the instructions and the hitch; there is no hardware at all. The hitch mounts using four bolts already in place on the vehicle (as best I can tell they are part of the attachement of the rear bumper to the frame). The instructions are all of four steps long and steps one and four aren't necessary. It says to lower the spare tire (step 1) but I found I had enough room with it still in place (so step 4; "replace the spare tire" became unnecessary as well). You just take the bolts out, raise the hitch in place and put the bolts back in. It took less than 20 minutes. The only problem I ran into was trying to remove the bolts with a standard socket wrench; they were in much to tightly and I ended up using a 17 inch breaker bar with a 13/16" socket attached to generate enough torque to loosen (and retighten) the bolts. I suspect a long-handled socket wrench would work fine as well. The tongue rating is 600lbs and the gross trailer weight rating is 7500 lbs so it should be able to handle some reasonably heavy towing, but I think if that's your plan, you might want to consider getting the tow package from Dodge; using this hitch won't provide you with all of the other stuff in the package (more powerful alternator, wiring harness for the trailer, full-sized spare, increased engine cooling), on the other hand if you only plan on light towing or using it for hitch-mounted accessories, this is a huge cost-saver.
