Draw-Tite 76046 Class 3 Trailer Hitch, 2-Inch Receiver, Black, Compatable with 2022-2022 Chrysler Grand Caravan, 2017-2022 Chrysler Pacifica, 2020-2022 Chrysler Voyager, 55.5 Inch

The hitch arrived in 2 days as promised by Amazon Prime. It was shipped via FEDEX. The shipping box was flimsy and the crossmember had one scratched area on it at the top of the bar. I hit that with a bit of sandpaper and sprayed with Rustoleum primer and paint (black). Arrived with all required hardware and instructions. I reviewed an installation video several times and the drove to the Auto Skills Center on a nearby military base to utilize the lift rack. I used a rack that lifted the vehicle at 4 lift points on the undercarriage. These are clearly marked on my Chrysler 2017 Pacifica. Installation took 2.5 hours. I had never installed a trailer hitch before. I'm also not a person who does much mechanical work. What I learned:1. the video doesn't show that a cover under the undercarriage needs to be removed and trimmed. The instructions for the rack indicated this clearly. This took a bit of time but was not a major source of time or irritation. Removal, trimming, and re-installation took a total of about 30 minutes.2. remove both rear wheels to improve visibility and access. If you choose to only remove one wheel make it the rear driver-side wheel. There are 3 screws that you'll need to access in the wheel well to remove the undercarriage cover. It makes things much easier.3. Fishing the bolts and spacers through the frame was quite easy. The nuts went on quite easily too. I chose to leave the fish-wires on while I mounted the hitch. In the video the technician removed them. I was afraid that if I didn't leave the fish wires on then I might accidentally push the bolts up into the frame.4. I was glad I had help holding the hitch in place while I threaded the nuts onto the bolts that I had fished through the frame holes. Frankly, I could not have accomplished installation by myself due to the weight and awkwardness of trying to jimmy the hitch into place while threading these nuts on. If you need help this is more than likely when you will need a helping hand.5. I trimmed the heat shield with sheet metal cutters. Too easy. I used a box cutter to trim the undercarriage cover. Also too easy.6. No special tools were required although a good pry bar helps in getting the rubber exhaust hangers off of the exhaust. The auto skills center did not have exhaust removal pliers. I did spray both hangers generously with soapy water. Re-installation of the hangers was a snap and took about 5 seconds.7. A good drop light or flashlight will help.The installation cost me $25 to rent the stall for 2.5 hours. I received two quotes prior to this for installation by local businesses. $95 at a trailer hitch company and $150 at a local garage. I'm glad I did this myself. Satisfaction for doing the job is priceless and I now know a bit more about the underside of my vehicle. If you are mechanically inclined installation should be easy for you.I have a 5-bike bicycle rack installed on this hitch. As you can see from the photos you cannot see the crossmember once you have the hitch installed. Draw-Tite did a good job of designing this hitch so that it is not visible. MY vehicle does not have the toe-tap to open the liftgate option so I cannot tell you whether you lose that capability by installing this hitch.

I installed it myself without help in 2,5 hours. I didn't lift the car, I did everything from the ground, but I found a parking space with a slight slope and used it. I removed the muffler from the two rear rubber bands, but it didn't help much, probably it was possible not to remove it. It was difficult to hold the trailer hitch alone and fasten it, and it also needed to be slipped under the muffler. I lay across the car holding one side of the towbar with my feet and the other with my hands, so I could lift and hold it. Maybe it will be useful for someone. The quality looks great. The bolt holes match. The metal is even too thick. 2-3 times thicker than the metal of the machine itself at the attachment points.

Man, never in my life did I think I’d have so much trouble installing this receiver! We recently purchased a 2020 Chrysler Pacifica and wanted a receiver on it for our bike rack. This is a beastly item, seemingly VERY well build. Instructions were OK but not great. Following the instructions, I removed the guard under the van. The first picture is of the guard and I have each fastener marked. The green is for nylon screws, red for nylon nuts, magenta for the integral cover screws, and white for the two metal nuts near the heat shield. I sprayed lubricant on the muffler hangers to make it easier to remove. After that, stringing the bolts through the frame rail proved problematic. The driver’s side went fairly well but the passenger side is more difficult because you have the muffler to contend with. On that side, space is limited and the spacer and bolt got stuck in the frame rail. It took me around 2 hours just to get that bolt and spacer back out. To help make sure that didn’t happened again, I taped the wire to the spacer as shown in the 2nd picture. That little trick helped and slowly but surely I was able to get all the bolts where they were supposed to be. Just make sure if you use that idea to have that tape facing DOWN when you thread it into the frame rail. Once the bolts were in (after a fair amount of blood and some choice Marine language) I was able to mount the receiver, tighten the bolts to the specified 110 ft. lb. I then trimmed the heat shield and bottom shield and remounted them. It is super sturdy and looks good BUT it was one heck of a job. By the way, I did all this by myself.

Product fit 2020 Chrysler Voyager like it was custom. Follow instructions for Pacifica install. Elevated rear of car on ramps, which made the job easier. Separating rear-most rubber muffler hanger from muffler was most difficult part. Stout metal prybar finally did the trick. Once that was done, install was easy. Will need a 1/2 inch drive torque wrench and deep sockets with 6 inch extension to properly torque the bolts and tin snips to trim the heat shield around the muffler. Hitch is being used to carry a Thule stand up bike rack. Rack folds up and clears the rear hatch with about 1/2 inch to spare.

Well built, sturdy and solid.Instructions are excellent and provided in numerous languages.Follow them precisely for optimal results.For this application the FRONT holes in the frame are the only ones big enough to allow the carriage bolts to pass through and you must fish the rear and middle bolt through that hole using the provided fish wires. All included hardware is high quality.
