Dodge Durango (2017–Present) Hitch Installation

Rear view of a 2017–Present Dodge Durango with the hitch installed

Vehicle Coverage: 2017–Present Dodge Durango excluding incompatible performance configurations; spare-tire, tow-hook, and dual-exhaust details are verified before scheduling
Receiver: 2-inch receiver
Finished Appearance: The square cross tube and 2-inch receiver sit below the bumper. On applicable R/T dual-exhaust vehicles, limited heat-shield and lower-fascia clearance is required.
Installation Time: Approximately 1–2 hours

The Durango hitch mounts directly to the rear frame rails, but the surrounding equipment varies by trim. We verify spare-tire size, tow hooks, dual exhaust, and performance-package clearance before the appointment rather than treating every Durango as identical.

1. Confirming Trim and Rear Equipment

Tow hooks, spare-tire size, exhaust configuration, and performance trim are checked before the hitch is selected.

2. Supporting the Rear Exhaust and Spare

The underbody is prepared so the hitch can pass between the frame rails without stressing the exhaust or spare-tire hardware.

3. Removing Conflicting Tow Hooks

Factory tow hooks are permanently removed where present because they share the hitch mounting area.

4. Positioning the Receiver

The hitch is raised to the existing frame attachment points and centered under the bumper before final tightening.

5. Creating Trim-Specific Clearance

Applicable dual-exhaust R/T models receive measured heat-shield and lower-fascia clearance; unnecessary cutting is avoided.

6. Final Underbody Inspection

The spare, exhaust, fascia, receiver, and safety-chain loops are checked through their full working clearance.

Finished Appearance: The square cross tube and 2-inch receiver sit below the bumper. On applicable R/T dual-exhaust vehicles, limited heat-shield and lower-fascia clearance is required.

The rating stamped on a hitch does not increase the vehicle manufacturer's towing or tongue-weight limit. We verify the intended use before scheduling and the lower applicable limit always controls.
