All Hardware and Installation Instructions Included!
Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger and Dodge Magnum (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 350 lbs. TW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.
If your vehicle is not equipped with wiring for towing a trailer, CURT custom wiring is the ideal solution. A custom wiring harness -- also called a T-connector -- is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that plugs into your automotive electric system and provides a standard, universal trailer wiring connection. This is done using two or more vehicle-specific, OEM-compatible connectors to plug into the taillight assembly, eliminating the need for cutting, splicing and soldering during installation. Custom wiring harnesses are made vehicle-specific, and while they are not available for all vehicles, they do offer one of the fastest, easiest and most secure ways to wire a vehicle for towing. This particular plug-in harness provides a 4-way flat connector socket and is designed to be a custom wiring harness to fit certain years of the Dodge Magnum (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary wiring components to establish a reliable trailer wiring connection, as well as a dust cover to keep the connector clean when not in use. You have a picture in mind of your next destination -- maybe it's the boat landing at your favorite fishing spot, maybe it's a campsite that overlooks one of nature's masterpieces, or maybe it's the next big jobsite. However, turning that picture into a reality takes more than just daydreaming. It takes a solid connection and the right amount of power. CURT custom wiring is made with some of the most sophisticated technology in the industry and is designed to install with ease, giving you a long-lasting electrical connection for your towing hitch setup.

The 05 - 08 Dodge Magnum Curt 2" Class 3 Trailer Tow Hitch + 5-Flat Wiring Kit Tow Boat/Utility Trailer with Surge Brakes 13465 (Part #5W-CHW-818) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, part 13465 fits Chrysler 300 Limited and 300C models, as well as Magnum RT/SXT/SE, Charger R/T, and Challenger. Installation requires lowering the exhaust system: on 300 Limited models, remove 2 hangers and 1 rubber mount; on 300C and Magnum with dual exhaust, remove 4 hangers and 2 rubber mounts.
The kit includes: 3× M12×1.75×40mm hex head cap screws (grade 10.9), 3× 1/2" S-CON washers, 3× 1/2"-13 UNC serrated flange nuts (grade 8), 3× 0.188×1.00×3.00" square hole spacers, 3× 1/2"-13 UNC carriage bolts 1-3/4" long (grade 8), and 1× 1/2" fishwire.
No, drilling is not required. The hitch uses existing frame holes and fishwire fasteners to secure the carriage bolts and spacer blocks.
Torque all 1/2" fasteners to 110 lb-ft and all 12mm fasteners to 79 lb-ft. All fasteners must be initially installed finger-tight only, then torqued to final specification in step 5.
You do not need to fully remove the exhaust, but you must lower it. On 300 Limited models, remove 2 exhaust hangers and 1 rubber mount. On 300C and Magnum with dual exhaust, remove 4 hangers and 2 rubber mounts. Reinstall these after the hitch is secured.
The manual does not specify the gross load capacity or tongue weight for this hitch. Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. Contact Curt Technical Support at 1-877-287-8634 for capacity information.
Non-trailer loads applied to this hitch must be supported by auxiliary stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty.
Curt part 13465 is designed for Chrysler 300 Limited, 300C, Magnum RT/SXT/SE, Charger R/T, and Challenger. The installation procedure varies slightly depending on exhaust configuration: 300 Limited has a single exhaust with 2 hangers and 1 rubber mount, while 300C and Magnum models with dual exhaust have 4 hangers and 2 rubber mounts.
The exhaust system must be lowered to allow the hitch to slide into position. On Chrysler 300 Limited models, remove the 2 exhaust hangers and 1 rubber mount. On 300C and Dodge Magnum models with dual exhaust, remove 4 hangers and 2 rubber mounts. After the hitch is secured, reinstall all removed hangers and mounts.
1. Lower the exhaust by removing hangers and rubber mounts (step 1). 2. Thread the 1/2" fishwire, carriage bolts, and spacer blocks through existing frame holes (step 2). 3. Slide the hitch over the muffler(s) and into position over the carriage bolts (step 3). 4. Secure with flange nuts, finger-tight only (step 3). 5. Install 12mm hex bolts and conical washers in remaining holes, finger-tight only (step 4). 6. Torque all 1/2" fasteners to 110 lb-ft and all 12mm fasteners to 79 lb-ft (step 5). 7. Reinstall exhaust hangers and mounts (step 6).
Installing fasteners finger-tight first allows the hitch to be positioned and aligned properly before final torquing. This ensures all components are correctly seated and aligned before applying full torque, which helps prevent misalignment and ensures even load distribution across all fasteners.
All 1/2" fasteners are torqued to 110 lb-ft. These are the 1/2"-13 UNC carriage bolts (part 10-10272) that pass through the frame holes and are secured with 1/2"-13 UNC serrated flange nuts (part 20-00062).
All 12mm fasteners are torqued to 79 lb-ft. These are the M12×1.75×40mm hex head cap screws (part 10-10386, grade 10.9) installed with S-CON washers (part 30-00149) in the remaining hitch holes.
Three 0.188×1.00×3.00" square hole spacers (part CM-SP40) are included to maintain proper spacing and alignment when threading the 1/2" carriage bolts and fishwire through the existing frame holes before sliding the hitch into position.
Fishwire is a flexible wire tool used to thread fasteners through existing frame holes that are not directly accessible. On this hitch, the 1/2" fishwire (part 1_2 FISHWIRE) is used to guide the carriage bolts and spacer blocks through the frame holes before the hitch is slid into final position.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This helps maintain safe operation and prevent loosening due to vibration and use.

Yes, the Curt 55562 is designed for Dodge Magnum passenger cars. The harness connects to the taillight assemblies on both driver and passenger sides behind the bumper.
The harness has a maximum battery connection rating of 10 amps (fuse-protected). Signal circuits are rated at 3.0 amps per side, and tail/running circuits are rated at 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed the product rating or your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
You will need a Phillips screwdriver, flat blade screwdriver, and panel trim removal tool. A 3/32" drill bit is also required if you need to drill a pilot hole for the ground wire screw.
Open the tailgate and remove the two plastic fasteners securing each taillight assembly. Inside the vehicle, remove the plastic cover behind both taillight assemblies. Pull out the insulation liner to access the plastic wing nut securing the taillight assembly. Remove the wing nut and pull out the taillight assembly to access the connectors.
First, separate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness connectors from the taillight housing, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Starting on the driver side, insert the custom wiring harness end with the yellow wire between the separated connectors. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat on the passenger side using the harness end with the green wire.
Drilling may be required. You must locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no suitable existing point is available, you will need to drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided ground screw. The area must be free of rust, dirt and paint.
Drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided ground screw. The area should be free of rust, dirt and paint before drilling.
The yellow wire is used on the driver side harness end, the green wire is used on the passenger side harness end, and the white wire is the ground wire. The black wire connects to the vehicle battery power.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame, or drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. The area must be free of rust, dirt and paint. Secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw.
Locate a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight and adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape.
When in use, route the 4-flat to the center of the vehicle and out of the trunk. When not in use, roll it up and store in a convenient, out-of-the-way location inside the trunk. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
Test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer. All steps must be followed to ensure the wiring harness functions properly.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a maximum of 10 amps. Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. Do not exceed the product rating or your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
Check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface before drilling to avoid damage and personal injury.
Reinstall all items removed during installation. The manual specifies that you must remove two plastic fasteners securing each taillight assembly and the plastic cover behind both taillight assemblies, but these must be reinstalled at the end.
