KR4G3N Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Hi, I am looking at a new to me vehicle, and the Dodge Journey R/T keeps coming up in my price range with the features I am looking for. Currently there are a handful of 2009 and 2012 DJ AWD R/Ts with <150,000kms in my area for around $10,000 CAD. But only the 09 has a trailer hitch installed. I have been trying to find out if the R/T in the 09-12 model range had the Trailer Prep Package as standard, or if it was an option. Can anyone tell me the answer to this? And if it was an option, how can I tell if it was fitted when I go to look at a vehicle that doesn't have a hitch already? Also I don't mind getting a hitch installed but have never had to do this before. Any idea how much to get a hitch put on a 2009/2012 R/T in Alberta?

OhareFred Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) Tow package was an option in 09 and still is I believe. If the hitch says haul, Reese, etc on it it was likely installed aftermarket. 10k for an 09 seems awfully high.

2late4u Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) i believe if you type in the vin # at the dodge web site it will bring up the options on it, or maybe the dealership would pull it up for you and yes 10 grand for a 09 seams way to high Edited August 30, 2020 by 2late4u OhareFred and Armando G 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KR4G3N Posted August 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Thanks for the info. The 09 I'm looking at is actually $7,900 Canadian with 119,000km and a hitch The '12 is $8,900 with 132,000km and no visible hitch. Was the hitch an option across all trim levels?

KR4G3N Posted August 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 OK finally found this site https://www.cars.com/research/dodge-journey-2012/specs/USC20DOS041A0/ which seems to suggest the R/T could haul 2,500lbs as standard so is the prep package just the wiring? None of the websites I have found so far even mention a tow pack under options for those model years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
