How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Why a Challenger can land on a Class 3 two inch receiver for racks and light trailers when the door sticker and the live card both agree, while Demon and Hellcat badges stay excluded.
Watch on YouTube →Shopping a trailer hitch for a Dodge Challenger in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year and the badge on the fender, then open the matching CURT Class 3 card. We stock CURT 13236 for listed 2011 through 2023 Challenger years excluding Demon, Hellcat, and SRT, with a two inch receiver, three thousand five hundred pounds gross trailer weight, and three hundred fifty pounds of tongue weight on the hitch card. CURT 13093 covers a narrower Challenger window on listed 2015 through 2016 years alongside Chrysler 300 applications. Muscle-car hitch shopping is still a door-sticker conversation first, and we will not invent a Hellcat hitch SKU when the live card excludes that badge.
All four videos are from the official CURT YouTube channel (@curtmfg). Use them for class selection, install habits, wiring basics, and ball-mount height before you dig into the Challenger cards below.

Watch on YouTube →Read exclusions first. CURT 13236 is the deep in-stock Class 3 path for listed 2011 through 2023 Challenger years, and the live card excludes Demon, Hellcat, and SRT. It uses a two inch receiver tube with three thousand five hundred pounds gross trailer weight and three hundred fifty pounds of tongue weight on the hitch card. The same SKU also lists Charger and Chrysler 300 applications on the product page, so match Challenger years carefully and do not stretch a Charger GT exclusion onto the wrong car. CURT 13093 is a second Class 3 card that lists Challenger for 2015 through 2016 alongside Chrysler 300 applications. Open the live fit list before you treat either card as universal.
| Topic | What we tell shoppers |
|---|---|
| Class 3 reality | 13236 is a Class 3 hitch with a two inch tube. That is stronger than most sedan Class 1 cards, but the door sticker still wins. Do not invent a fifth-wheel plan for a Challenger. |
| Demon Hellcat SRT | 13236 excludes Demon, Hellcat, and SRT. We are not inventing a performance-badge hitch SKU on this page. |
| Receiver size | Two inch tube on these Class 3 cards. Match pins, locks, covers, and rack shanks to two inch accessories, not one and one quarter inch Class 1 gear. |
| Dual exhaust | Many Challengers run dual exhaust. Confirm clearance on the instruction sheet and read dual exhaust hitch fitment before you force a fit. |
| Shared SKU notes | 13236 also lists Charger and 300 applications with their own exclusions. Read the Challenger lines on the live card, not a Charger forum post. |
| 13093 window | 13093 lists Challenger for 2015 through 2016. Outside that window, stay on 13236 when the live fit list agrees. |
| Wiring honesty | We are not inventing a Challenger-specific harness on this page. Confirm a live wiring card or a shop lighting plan if you need trailer lights. |
| Door sticker | Hitch class is not the Dodge tow limit. Read the door sticker before you load tongue weight, especially on a performance coupe. |
| Charger and 300 | Charger shopping is related but separate. Chrysler 300 already has its own buyer guide. Do not stretch Challenger prose onto those cars without opening their pages. |
| Install habits | Use the CURT install techniques video, then recheck hardware after the first trips. See hitch bolt torque tips for the torque mindset. |

Plenty of Challenger hitch shoppers in Canada want a hitch-mounted bike rack or a light utility trailer, not a boat behind a Hellcat. Class 3 capacity on the hitch card is not permission to ignore the door sticker. If you only need a rack, read hitch for bike rack only and still respect clearance on dual exhaust and a long rear overhang. For receiver size habits, see hitch receiver size guide.
Demon, Hellcat, and SRT stay excluded on 13236. Match the door sticker year next.
