How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Why a Pacifica Class 3 card still has to sit under Chrysler’s tow rating for your trim and powertrain.
Watch on YouTube →Shopping a trailer hitch for a Chrysler Pacifica in Canada? Gas vans and hybrids do not always share the same CURT card, and Class 2 versus Class 3 is a real choice depending on whether you want a bike rack path or a 2 inch receiver. This guide sticks to the hitches and wiring we actually stock, the year pages that return, and the hybrid lander gaps you should know before you click.
All four videos are from the official CURT YouTube channel (@curtmfg). CURT does not currently publish a dedicated install film for CURT 13462, 13466, or 13383 on this channel, so we lean on selection, technique, wiring, and ball-mount primers. Finish with the install sheet that ships with your exact part.

| Path | What we usually stock |
|---|---|
| 2017–2022 gas Pacifica | Class 3: CURT 13462. Explicitly excludes hybrid. About 4,000 lb trailer and 400 lb tongue on the card, with a 2 inch receiver. |
| Hybrid Pacifica (listed years) | Class 3: CURT 13466. Our live application list is hybrid years 2017 through 2026. The title also mentions gas Pacifica — trust the fitment rows, not the short title. |
| Broader Class 3 card | CURT 13383 lists gas Pacifica, hybrid Pacifica, Voyager, and later Grand Caravan on one Class 3, 2 inch receiver card. Useful when your year sits outside 13462’s gas window. |
| Class 2, 1.25 inch | CURT 12180 for listed Pacifica, Voyager, and Grand Caravan years when a lighter 1.25 inch receiver is enough for bike racks or small trailers within rating. |
| Wiring | Four-flat: CURT 55530 for select Pacifica. Confirm your year on the card. Four-flat covers lamps — not electric trailer brakes. |
Class 3 with a 2 inch opening is the everyday path for Pacifica owners who want a utility trailer, a small camper within rating, or hitch accessories that expect that shank size. Class 2 keeps the opening at 1.25 inch — fine for many bike racks, but a lot of cargo and towing gear expects 2 inch. Either way, Chrysler’s published tow and tongue numbers for your trim still win.
Gas Pacifica landers from 2017 through 2026 are live. Hybrid landers are thinner — we only link the hybrid URLs that return today.
No hybrid landers for 2018–2020, 2022–2023, or 2025 are linked here because those pages are not live.
The 13466 title mentions gas Pacifica, but the live application block we read lists hybrid years. Match your powertrain on the card.
Several hybrid year pages are missing even when hitch hardware lists those years. Use the product card plus the closest live hybrid lander carefully.
We are not embedding third-party Pacifica installs. CURT education videos plus the paper sheet for your SKU are the path here.
Hitch-card pounds do not override Chrysler’s tow and tongue numbers for your Pacifica trim.
