Watch on YouTubeDodge Magnum Trailer Hitch Buyer's Guide (Canada)
Shopping a trailer hitch for a Dodge Magnum in Canada? Start with the door-sticker tow limit, then open the live CURT 13465 Class 3 card. That hitch covers listed two thousand five through two thousand eight Magnum years with a two inch receiver, about three thousand five hundred pounds gross trailer weight, and about three hundred fifty pounds tongue weight on the hitch card. Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Challenger share the same shelf, so keep badge-honest shopping when the car in the bay is not a Magnum.

Watch on YouTubeWhat the live CURT 13465 card actually covers
CURT 13465 is a Class 3 hitch with a two inch receiver for listed two thousand five through two thousand eight Dodge Magnum years. On the live card it is rated to about three thousand five hundred pounds gross trailer weight and three hundred fifty pounds tongue weight. The same SKU also lists Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Challenger years, so read the live fitment list carefully.
Those numbers are hitch ratings, not a promise that every Magnum engine and axle package can tow that much. Door sticker first. Hitch second. If the badge says Charger, Challenger, or 300, open those buyer guides instead of forcing a Magnum-only shopping path.
