2008 Dodge Dakota hitch questions
Which trailer hitch fits a 2008 Dodge Dakota?
CURT 13229 (Class 3, 2-inch receiver, 5,000 lb) and CURT 13230 (Class 3, 2-inch receiver, 5,000 lb) both fit. Pick the class that covers your trailer with room to spare, then check the fit table on the product page for your build.
How much can a 2008 Dodge Dakota tow with this hitch?
The hitch is rated to 5,000 lb gross trailer weight and 500 lb tongue weight, or 5,500 lb with a weight-distribution hitch. Your Dakota has its own tow rating in the owner's manual, and the lower number is your limit. A loaded bike rack counts against tongue weight too.
Do I need a wiring harness for the 2008 Dodge Dakota?
If a trailer is going on, yes. Brake and turn signals have to work, and CURT 55323 plugs into the factory connector so the trailer lights follow the Dakota's. Order it with the hitch and it's one install.
