HawtDogFlvrWtr Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) So I went with the class III curt hitch (13201) and the mopar harness for our journey. I had the harness activated today at a local dealer and all is working perfectly. The company that sent me the wiring harness sent me two of them.. one looks used and was missing the bumper inserts, and the other was brand new. I thought that i was going have to deal with the used harness (it showed up two days before the new one did) so I purchased the bumper inserts in ziptie form from amazon and got the harness up and working perfectly. If someone wants it, i'll send it to you for free.. just need to pay shipping. I ended up getting one of those cheapo cargo baskets that attach to it from harbor freight for like $40.. it's genius and fits my garbage cans perfectly, so I don't have to haul trash in the back of the journey... (I don't have trash pickup here in the sticks). NOW ON WITH THE PICTURES!

dhh3 Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Looks good. Did you have to remove your rear bumper to install the harness? According to the directions that came with my Mopar harness, the rear bumper has to removed to access the holes for the Christmas Tree push-type attachers, which keep the harness up away from the exhaust, and run along the entire length harness!

HawtDogFlvrWtr Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 nope, didn't even have to remove the spare.. there is plenty of room to install it without removing anything.. For those who do it though, Make sure you wear safety goggles.. there were rocks and all kinds of dust up in that area that fell into my eyes. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Thank you. I guess Mopar is making $ for the Dealers! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woah322 Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Same setup as mine, only difference is I don't like that the wire harness is just hanging there, they make a bracket to secure it better.

dhh3 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 My Mopar hitch has a bracket with a round hole for a 7 pin connector. I bought the part that snaps into the round hole and the 4 pin connector snaps into the oval hole in this piece. Neat and clean! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 No, I still can"t lift the hitch box into the car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossroad Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 I literally just installed this same hitch on my 15' crossroad awd today. Mine doesnt hit the plastic or spare tire at all. Works great and the best option for clearance issues imo. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to go to your dealer and have them flash the computer to turn that part of the harness on. No set fee... my dealer did it for free, others have had to pay various amounts. dhh3, gorol and jkeaton 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dealer will need to enable the feature. Mark Reimer, QuarterSwede and dhh3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
