A CURT trailer hitch is the key to pursuing your passions, whether you're taking the family boat out for an afternoon on the water or packing up the mountain bikes for a day on the trails. This CURT class 2 hitch is perfect for towing a small trailer, such as a boat trailer, lightweight camper or utility trailer. It can also be used to mount a hitch cargo carrier or bike rack (never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Like all CURT custom hitches, this class 2 trailer hitch is made for a vehicle-specific fit. It is engineered to seamlessly integrate with select years of the Dodge Journey (see application info to verify fitment). It is rated for 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 350 pounds tongue weight. It is also equipped with 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" hitch receiver to accept the included ball mount. The ball mount that comes with this hitch kit has a 3/4" trailer ball hole and can be positioned in the drop or rise orientation for level towing with your specific trailer (trailer ball not included). Like all CURT custom receiver hitches, this class 2 hitch is designed, manufactured, finished and tested with the utmost care. It is engineered for a precise fit, easy installation, maximum towing strength and an integrated look on the vehicle. It is also tested to SAE J684 protocols for safety. This class 2 trailer hitch is finished with our industry-leading dual-coat process for unparalleled rust, chip and UV resistance. It is descaled for a smooth surface, submersed in liquid A-coat for rust prevention inside and out, covered with a highly durable powder coat, and finally co-cured for a dependable shield against the elements. This class 2 hitch comes with a ball mount, hitch pin and mounting hardware for a complete installation.

CURT 12134 is designed for use with ballmount 45521, and with CURT Euro ballmounts 45571 (1 7/8" ball) and 45572 (2" ball).
When used as a weight-carrying hitch, CURT 12134 is rated for 3,500 lbs maximum trailer weight and 350 lbs maximum tongue weight. You must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower than the hitch rating.
The hitch weight is 22 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 or soapy water is recommended to ease installation of rubber isolators.
The kit includes: 2× .250 x 1.50 x 3.00" square hole spacers (CM-SP4), 6× hex flange nuts (HFN 1213), 6× 1/2-13 x 1 1/2 carriage bolts, 2× 1/2" fishwire (1_2 FISHWIRE), 4× .250 x 1.00 x 2.00" square hole spacers (CM-SP12), and 2× 1/2" wedge spacers (CM-SP38).
No, drilling is not required. The installation uses fishwire hardware technique to route carriage bolts and spacers through existing spaces between the bumper beam and frame rail.
Two people may be required to ease installation. If you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, CURT recommends contacting an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance.
Yes. The first installation step requires lowering the exhaust by removing 3 rubber isolators from each side. You must support the exhaust from underneath after lowering. The exhaust is then raised back into position and the rubber isolators are reinstalled in the final step. Apply lubricant or soapy water to ease reinstallation of the isolators.
Fishwire is a technique used to route carriage bolts and spacers through tight spaces. In step 2, you fishwire the carriage bolts and small square hole spacers through the space between the bumper beam and the end of the frame rail on both sides. In step 3, you fishwire the remaining carriage bolts and large spacers through the bumper beam and into position. The manual does not provide detailed instructions on how to perform the fishwire technique.
If equipped, you should temporarily disconnect the driver side electrical connector for clearance while securing the hitch in step 4. This is only required if your vehicle has this connector; not all Journey models may have it.
All 1/2" fasteners must be torqued to 110 lb-ft. This applies to the 6 carriage bolts (1/2-13 x 1 1/2) and the 6 hex flange nuts (HFN 1213).
Safety glasses must be worn at all times during installation. After lowering the exhaust, you must support it from underneath to prevent it from falling. Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity when using the hitch.
Yes. CURT recommends the use of part 18050 stabilizing straps for all non-trailer (wheel-less) loads. See the CURT catalog or visit www.curtmfg.com for further information.
After installation, periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify a retorque interval or inspection schedule.
