How to Select a Trailer Hitch
A 2011 through 2014 Avenger often lands on a Class 1 one and one quarter inch receiver when the plan is bikes, a small cargo box, or a very light trailer under the Dodge sticker.
Watch on YouTubeDodge Avenger Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)
Shopping a trailer hitch for a Dodge Avenger in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year, then open the live CURT 11133 Class 1 card. That hitch covers listed 2011 through 2014 Avenger years on a one and one quarter inch receiver, and the same live card also lists 2011 through 2014 Chrysler 200 years. Ratings sit around two thousand pounds gross trailer weight and two hundred pounds tongue weight. Treat the Dodge tow limit as the final word even when the sedan looks ready for bikes and a light weekend trailer.

Watch on YouTubeWhich CURT hitch fits your Dodge Avenger
CURT 11133 is the Class 1 hitch for listed 2011 through 2014 Dodge Avenger years. The live card rates about two thousand pounds gross trailer weight and two hundred pounds tongue weight on a one and one quarter inch receiver. The same SKU also covers listed 2011 through 2014 Chrysler 200 years, so do not be surprised when the product title names both cars.
Chrysler 200 already keeps its own buyers guide, including the later CURT 11403 path for 2015 through 2017 200 years that the Avenger never shared. Confirm your door-sticker year against the live 11133 list rather than assuming every Avenger shares this SKU.
Parts-counter notes before you click buy
| Topic | What we tell shoppers |
|---|---|
| Door sticker first | A hitch is not a blank cheque. Read the Dodge tow limit, then open hitch versus vehicle tow rating. |
| Shared 200 shelf | Live 11133 also lists Chrysler 200 years. Avenger and 200 shoppers share this hitch SKU but keep separate buyers guides. |
| Later 200 path | 2015 through 2017 Chrysler 200 uses a different live card. Stay on the Chrysler 200 hitch guide for that sedan. |
| Bike rack reality | Many Avenger hitch buyers only want bikes or a small cargo box. Open hitch for bike rack only. |
| Clearance | Trunk lid and bumper still matter on a midsize sedan. Open hitch bike rack clearance tips. |
| Wiring gap | We do not currently stock a dedicated Avenger four-flat on this shelf. Start with the wiring harness guide and a plug tester. |
| Receiver size | Match accessories to the one and one quarter inch opening. See the receiver size guide. |
| Install habits | Confirm install notes on the live 11133 card, then recheck hardware after salted Canadian trips. See hitch bolt torque tips. |
Year pages we publish for this Avenger card
Year jumps we publish for the 2011 through 2014 Avenger years on the live 11133 card. Open the lander that matches the model year on your door sticker, then confirm the live hitch card still lists that year. We only link landers that already exist, and this run has a complete set for the Avenger card years.
Accessories that match a one and one quarter inch Avenger receiver
Keep the small tube covered when empty, pin what you insert, and quiet chatter with an anti-rattle kit sized for one and one quarter inch. Ball mounts must match that opening, not a two inch shank from a truck drawer. If you need rise instead of drop to level a low trailer, open the rise versus drop guide after you pick the shank size.
