Is it possible to put a trailer hitch on an SRT8 Magnum without having to cut or trim the rear bumper cover?

Any idea what an SRT8 is rated tow?

Thanks.

I don't see why it would be a problem. If I remember right, I once read the tow rating is less than that of the RT, which is 3,800 with equalizer bars. My 2005 RT came with a towing package. The receiver itself is hidden. I bought the car used and the only reason I found the receiver was because I was looking at the window sticker and saw something about tow package and load leveling system, so I peeked under it.

" Magnum R/T, when equipped with the Trailer Tow Group, can tow trailers up to 3,800 pounds.
Without the Trailer Tow Group, Magnum delivers up to 2,000 pounds of towing capacity when
powered by the 3.5- or 5.7-liter engine. Magnum SE’s 2.7-liter engine can tow up to 1,000 lbs.
Maintaining a proper ride height is critical while towing or carrying heavy loads. R/T models
with the Trailer Tow Group feature a self-leveling rear suspension that adjusts automatically to
ensure a constant ride height, no matter what kind of load you’re carrying. (Also available on
SXT rear-wheel- and all-wheel-drive models.) "

It's hard to tell since all hitches are vehicle specific to their year. I was just on a website called Hitchweb about to order a hitch for myself. I looked into your vehicle and got as far as the year. If you want to take a look at some selections just click your year:


Hope this helps! Dodge Magnum Trailer Hitch

When I was at the Dodge dealership someone traded in an SRT8 Bee. It had a trailer hitch.
