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 Dodge Journey (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 4,000 lbs. GTW and 400 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 4,000 lbs. WD and 400 lbs. WDTW. 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 Journey with LED Taillights (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 11 - 20 Dodge Journey wo/ LED Tailights Curt 2", Class 3 Trailer Tow Hitch + 4-flat Wiring Kit 13201 (Part #CHW-816) fits the following vehicles: 2011-2020 Dodge Journey. Always verify your specific year, make, and model before ordering.
The 11 - 20 Dodge Journey wo/ LED Tailights Curt 2", Class 3 Trailer Tow Hitch + 4-flat Wiring Kit 13201 (Part #CHW-816) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, CURT part number 13201 is designed for Dodge Journey models from 2009 to present, including the Crossroad variant. Verify your vehicle matches this specification before purchasing.
As a weight-carrying hitch, the CURT 13201 is rated for 4,000 lbs trailer weight and 400 lbs tongue weight. As a weight-distribution hitch, it is also rated for 4,000 lbs trailer weight and 400 lbs tongue weight. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower.
The hitch weight is 28 lbs.
Required tools are: ratchet, 3/4" socket, 6" socket extension, torque wrench, and small pry bar. Safety glasses must be worn at all times during installation. Spray lubricant is also recommended to ease installation.
Yes. Step 1 requires lowering the exhaust by removing 3 rubber isolators from each side. You must support the exhaust from underneath after lowering it. The exhaust is then raised back into position and the rubber isolators are reinstalled in Step 6.
The manual lists "lower spare tire" in the installation tips section, but does not provide specific instructions for this step or explain when it is required. Contact CURT Technical Support at 877-287-8634 for clarification on whether this is necessary for your specific vehicle.
If equipped, you must temporarily disconnect the driver side electrical connector during Step 4 to provide clearance while securing the hitch. Reconnect it after the hitch is secured.
1. Lower exhaust by removing 3 rubber isolators from each side and support from underneath. 2. Fishwire carriage bolts and small square hole spacers through the space between bumper beam and frame rail on both sides. 3. Fishwire remaining carriage bolts and large spacers through the bumper beam. 4. Raise hitch into position with wedge-shaped spacers and secure with hex flange nuts (temporarily disconnect driver side electrical connector if equipped). 5. Torque all 1/2" fasteners to 110 lb-ft. 6. Raise exhaust back into position and reinstall the 6 rubber isolators.
Fishwire is a flexible wire tool included with the kit (2 pieces of 1/2" fishwire, part number 1_2 FISHWIRE). It is used to thread carriage bolts and spacers through tight spaces: first through the space between the bumper beam and frame rail end (Step 2), then through the bumper beam itself (Step 3). This allows you to position the hardware without removing the bumper.
Three types of spacers are used: (1) Small square hole spacers (CM-SP12, qty 4, 0.250 x 1.00 x 2.00") are fishwired through with carriage bolts in Step 2. (2) Large square hole spacers (CM-SP4, qty 2, 0.250 x 1.50 x 3.00") are fishwired through in Step 3. (3) Wedge-shaped spacers (CM-SP38, qty 2, 1/2") are positioned between the hitch and frame as the hitch is raised into position in Step 4.
All 1/2" fasteners must be torqued to 110 lb-ft. This is performed in Step 5 after the hitch is raised into position and secured with hex flange nuts.
No. The manual explicitly states "NO DRILLING REQUIRED" in the installation tips section.
Two people may be required to ease installation. The manual notes that using proper tools will greatly improve the quality of the install and reduce the time required.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times while installing this product. After lowering the exhaust in Step 1, you must support it from underneath. The manual also warns: never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. This is an ongoing maintenance requirement, not a one-time check.
Yes. In Step 6, when raising the exhaust back into position and reinstalling the rubber isolators, the manual recommends applying lubricant or soapy water to ease installation.
The kit includes: 2 large square hole spacers (CM-SP4), 6 hex flange nuts (HFN 1213), 2 pieces of 1/2" fishwire (1_2 FISHWIRE), 4 small square hole spacers (CM-SP12), 2 wedge spacers (CM-SP38), and 6 carriage bolts (1/2-13 x 1 1/2).
Yes. The manual explicitly states: "Before you begin installation, read all instructions thoroughly." If you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, contact an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance.
Yes, the CURT 13201 is designed for Dodge Journey models 2009-present, including Crossroad.
You need: ratchet, 3/4" socket, 6" socket extension, torque wrench, small pry bar, and safety glasses. Spray lubricant is recommended.
All 1/2" fasteners must be torqued to 110 lb-ft.
The CURT 13201 is rated for 4,000 lbs trailer weight and 400 lbs tongue weight. Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
Wear safety glasses at all times. Support the exhaust from underneath after lowering. Never exceed your vehicle's towing capacity. Periodically check that all fasteners remain tight.
Yes, the Curt 56330 is designed for Dodge Journey models with LEDs. It is compatible with SUVs, mini and full-sized vans in this application. If your Journey does not have LED taillights, contact the vehicle manufacturer or Curt to confirm compatibility.
The Curt 56330 has a signal circuit rating of 3.0 amps per side and a tail/running circuit rating of 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed these ratings or your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower, as exceeding the rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
You will need a panel trim removal tool. Depending on your vehicle's existing ground points, you may also need a drill with a 3/32" bit if no suitable grounding point is available near the taillight connector.
Yes. Step 1 requires you to locate the vehicle battery on the driver side under the hood and disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation.
Open the tailgate and remove the two plastic fasteners holding each taillight assembly in place. Carefully remove both taillights, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Then locate the vehicle taillight wiring harness connectors and separate them from the taillight housing, again being careful not to damage the locking tabs.
Insert the custom wiring harness end with the yellow, red and brown wires between the separated taillight connectors on the driver side. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat this process 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 taillight connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no suitable point exists, you will need to drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the taillight connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. The area should be free of rust, dirt and paint. Secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw. If no suitable point exists, drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw.
Route the custom wiring harness end with the green wire under the vehicle, through the opening under the driver side taillight, over to the passenger side along the backside of the bumper, and up through the opening under the passenger side taillight.
Locate a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight and adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape.
Route the black power wire from the vehicle battery as shown on the included CME-PCL-INS sheet. Refer to that sheet for specific routing and connection instructions.
When not in use, roll up the 4-flat connector and store it in a convenient, out-of-the-way location. When in use, route it to the center of the vehicle. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
Reinstall all items removed during installation and reconnect the negative battery terminal. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion. Test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer.
Exceeding the product rating of 3.0 amps per side for signal circuits or 6.0 amps total for tail/running circuits 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.
Yes, the Curt 56330 is designed for Dodge Journey models with LEDs.
A panel trim removal tool is required. A drill with 3/32" bit may be needed if no existing ground point is available.
Yes, disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation.
Signal circuits: 3.0 amps per side. Tail/running circuits: 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed these ratings or your vehicle's lamp load rating.
