Dodge Durango Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)

Shopping a trailer hitch for a Dodge Durango in Canada? Start with the years we actually publish. Our live hitch landers cover 2004 through 2009, and the rear Class 3 receivers we stock for Durango sit in that same window. Newer Durangos are a different story — many leave the factory with a receiver already fitted — so this guide maps what is on the shelf today without pretending every model year has a matching lander.

Watch these CURT videos first

All four videos are from the official CURT YouTube channel (@curtmfg). There is no dedicated Durango install clip on the channel for the SKUs we stock today, so these selection, technique, ball-mount, and wiring videos cover the habits you still need before you buy.

Durango years and hitch shopping

Think of Durango hitch shopping in two buckets. For 2004–2009 we publish year landers and stock rear Class 3 receivers. For 2011-and-newer, we do not publish dedicated hitch year pages yet — and we do not list a matching aftermarket rear Class 3 for those years in the current CURT catalogue. Many late Durangos already carry a factory receiver, so the useful next steps are often wiring, a ball mount, a brake-control harness, and an honest look under the bumper.

Years What we usually stock
2004–2009 Class 3 Rear Class 3: CURT 13072 for 2004–2009 Durango (Aspen shared on the card). Earlier overlap option: CURT 13297 for 2004–2006 Durango. Read every fitment row before you buy.
Wiring we stock Four-flat for later Durango: CURT 56336 (2014–2026 on the card). Early shared harness example: CURT 55334 — confirm Durango years on the product card because it covers several Chrysler and Dodge applications.
Brake-control harnesses Earlier Durango and Ram applications: CURT 51332. Later Grand Cherokee and Durango applications: CURT 51446. Match the year list on the card to your VIN era.
2011-and-newer No dedicated hitch year landers yet, and no rear aftermarket Class 3 for those Durangos in our current CURT catalogue. Inspect the factory receiver first. Wiring and brake harnesses above still help when your year is listed.
Pre-2004 No Durango hitch year pages published for those years. Use the trailer hitches collection and reach out if you need help matching an early Durango.

Never exceed Dodge’s tow rating for your trim, axle ratio, and tow package. A hitch rating is not permission to tow heavier than the SUV was designed for.

These landers are live. 2010 and 2011-and-newer Durango hitch pages are not published yet.

Simple setup steps

Step 1Open your year

Use the 2004–2009 landers above when they exist so you see what the Durango page actually lists.

Step 2Inspect the bumper

On 2011-and-newer Durangos, look for a factory receiver before you shop a second rear hitch we do not stock.

Step 3Pick 13072 or 13297

Only for the years those cards list. Wrong year means wrong hardware.

Step 4Finish lights and brakes

Use the wiring guide and the brake controller guide when the trailer needs them.

Canada checklist

  • Believe Dodge’s tow rating for your trim, axle, and tow package — it beats any hitch brochure.
  • 2004–2009 landers are live — later years are a catalogue and lander gap we call out on purpose.
  • Factory receivers are common on newer Durangos — inspect before you hunt an aftermarket Class 3 we do not list.
  • Plan for salt season — rinse receivers and protect wiring plugs through winter. Free shipping still applies on the CURT parts above.
