Speaker 1: Today, we’re gonna be taking a look at the best hitch options for your 2017 Dodge Durango. The main difference between all of our hitches here is we are gonna have a hidden style, inaudible 00:00:09 draw tite up here, right here, we’re gonna have another draw tite, and then right below that, we’re gonna have a curt.Now, the nice thing about the one on top here, if you notice, you are gonna have a small door on the bottom of your fascia on your Durango. Well, that’s because it’s meant to have a hitch behind it and we’re gonna be able to cover it up when we’re not towing.The other two are gonna sit right below the fascia, which kinda defeats the purpose of having the door in the first place.Because the hitch is gonna sit behind the fascia, we are gonna have to remove it as well as do a little bit of trimming in order to get our hitch installed. Now, I know that sounds like a big hassle and some of you don’t wanna mess with that, but it’s not as bad as you would think.Now, if you don’t wanna remove the fascia and you don’t wanna do any kind of trimming, the two hitches that are gonna sit below our fascia are not gonna require any of that. You just have two simple bolts and they’ll be in place.If you plan on using your hitch for a bike rack or a cargo carrier, ground clearance is definitely going to be a concern. Our draw tite with a hidden cross tube is gonna provide you with the most ground clearance and overall, it’s gonna be a little bit more than 4″ over the other two.However, both the ones that sit below the fascia are gonna give you a decent amount of ground clearance because our Durango does sit rather high.When talking about clearances, another thing to keep in mind is the relation between the hitch pin hole itself and the outer edge of the bumper.
Because whenever we’re looking at folding accessories, we don’t want that bike rack or cargo carrier to come in contact with our bumper.Our draw tite that’s gonna sit right below our bumper is gonna give us the most clearance. It’s gonna push those accessories out just a little bit, giving us that much more clearance.Along with recreational use like our bike rack or cargo carrier, you might wanna do some towing, so weight rating is definitely gonna be a question. Both of our draw tites are gonna have a 900 pound tongue weight, which is gonna be the maximum force at the receiver tube. And they’re both gonna have a 6,000 pound gross trailer weight rating, which is the amount that you can pull, including the trailer and everything loaded on it.Now, they’re both designed to work with weight distribution systems as well, which is gonna be a separate component that’s on your trailer. And that’s gonna keep the tongue weight at the same rating, but it’s gonna jump the gross trailer weight rating up to 7500 pounds.Our current is gonna be rated slightly lower.
It’s gonna have a 600 pound tongue rate, along with a 6,000 pound gross trailer weight rating. Now, it is designed to work with weight distributions as well and that’s gonna jump the tongue weight up to 750 pounds and the gross trailer weight rating up to 7500 pounds. Now, with all those numbers in mind, you always wanna double check your Durango’s Owner’s Manual and make sure you don’t exceed the manufacturer’s recommended weight.A few minor differences between all three of our hitches is gonna be the safety chain connection points. The curt is gonna have a plate set on the bottom and while this thing’s a rather large hook, you can see we’re still gonna have room, but getting it on and off may be a little bit more difficult because of the size.We move up to our draw tite that’s gonna site below our fascia, we can see that it has a much larger opening and even this large hook isn’t having too much trouble moving around, getting it on or off.And then, the draw tite that’s gonna be hidden behind the bumper is gonna have a loop style, giving us even more room. We’re not gonna have to worry about pretty much any size hook getting on the safety chain connection point.Now, one thing that’s exclusive to the draw tite that’s gonna sit below our fascia is you’ll notice it has a secondary
As we uncovered when we added one to our long-term fleet, the Dodge Durango GT is a sizable, versatile SUV that’s also sportier compared to you might anticipate. That said, with a 295-hp V-6 under the hood, it’s nowhere near as powerful as the Durango SRT 392. Yet with the brand-new Rallye Look Bundle, you can at least give the Durango GT an SRT-inspired appearance.
Declared today, the Rallye Look Bundle uses a much more aggressive front end, a sportier hood, and LED foglamps. It may not be needed, yet Dodge states the hood scoop and vents are really practical. If you tow a great deal, it possibly can’t harm.
” Much of our customers enjoy the performance appearance of the Durango R/T and Durango SRT, yet more than happy with the award-winning Pentastar V-6 engine’s 295 horsepower and the superb fuel performance it supplies,” said Steve Beahm, FCA’s North American head of automobile, in a release. “This brand-new Durango GT Rallye Look Bundle gives those three-row SUV buyers the very best of both worlds.”
The Rallye package is offered to buy now for $1,495 and come in 7 different shades. Considering the Durango GT starts at $38,990 consisting of location, that brings the base rate of a Rallye-equipped Durango to $40,485.
