Dodge Journey Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)

Shopping a trailer hitch for a Dodge Journey in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year, then open CURT 12134. That Class 2 hitch uses a one and one quarter inch receiver for listed 2009 through 2020 Journey years on the live card, and it is the deep in-stock Journey hitch we keep on the shelf here. Wiring is a separate carton. CURT 56037 is a four-flat harness the live card lists for the 2009 Journey, so later years need an honest wiring check before you assume the same harness still applies. Confirm ratings on each live product card, and keep Pacifica, Grand Caravan, and other Chrysler vans on their own guides when those badges are on the door.
