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.

The CURT Class 3 Trailer Hitch, 2" Receiver, Select Dodge Journey Trailer Hitch (Part #BKDK13201) fits the following vehicles: 2009-2020 Dodge Journey. Always verify your specific year, make, and model before ordering.
Yes, the CURT Class 3 Trailer Hitch, 2" Receiver, Select Dodge Journey Trailer Hitch (Part #BKDK13201) is designed to fit the 2009-2020 Dodge Journey.
The CURT Class 3 Trailer Hitch, 2" Receiver, Select Dodge Journey Trailer Hitch (Part #BKDK13201) Drilling is not required for installation. Typical installation time is 30-60 minutes. 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).
