How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Match hitch class to the door sticker and the live card before you shop a heavier trailer than the vehicle can honestly tow.
Watch on YouTubeMitsubishi Raider Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)
Shopping a trailer hitch for a Mitsubishi Raider in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year on this mid-size pickup, then open CURT 13229. That Class 3 hitch uses a two inch receiver for listed two thousand six through two thousand nine Raider years on the live card, and the same sheet also names two thousand five through two thousand ten Dodge Dakota years. Bike racks, utility trailers, and light bumper-pull duty are the usual ask when the Mitsubishi sticker agrees. Confirm ratings on the live product card. Canada orders often ship free on qualifying baskets, so confirm the cart note before you check out.
Parts-counter shortcut.
Read the door sticker, open live CURT 13229 for listed Raider years, then decide whether a Dakota sibling guide helps you double-check the shared sheet.

Watch these CURT videos first
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 product cards below.
If an embed does not load, use the YouTube link under the card. Raider shoppers usually land on Class 3 two inch hardware for listed years on the shared Dakota sheet.

Watch on YouTubeThe live hitch path for listed Raider years
CURT 13229 is a Class 3 hitch with a two inch receiver path that names listed Mitsubishi Raider years on the live card, including the two thousand six, two thousand seven, two thousand eight, and two thousand nine landers we link below. The same sheet covers listed Dodge Dakota years from two thousand five through two thousand ten. Read the fitment line carefully so you do not cart a later mid-size hitch meant for a different truck.
Class 3 hardware suits everyday bumper-pull trailers when the Raider sticker and the live hitch card both agree. The live title rates the hitch for five thousand pounds gross trailer weight and five hundred pounds tongue weight, with weight-distribution notes on the card when that setup fits. Your door sticker still sets the ceiling. For lights, CURT 55381 is a four-flat custom harness window for select Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Mitsubishi trucks with a tow package. Confirm the live harness card still lists your Raider before you order lights, then clean the ground and pretest lamps.
