And I got a phone call today for installation tomorrow! Woo Hoo.

Also got the wire harness kit. What I plan to do when not towing anything (which is most of the time. I need the hitch so that I can carry my bikes at the back. Don't want to have to raise the bikes over my head to a roof rack) is to wire the harness to the lights in the rear bumper via a trailer harness. IF I need the harness, I simply disconnect the rear bumper lights and plug into the trailer.

Can't believe the dealer got the parts so quick seeing that people here say they have been waiting so long because the parts are back ordered?

Thanks for the tips.... however, seeing that I have 2 young kids, my wife and I believe that we are going to RENT (key word here because I sure as hell won't buy one) a tent trailer and/ airstream or a few times to take the kids out. This weight requires a stronger hitch I believe.

FOCK! So my dumb @ss dealer calls me back and says that for me to use the MOPAR hitch I need to order a $1k single muffler at the back? WTF. So I just asked them to wire in the wiring harness and I will get the CURT hitch and install it myself.

Saves me some $$$ what a dumb dealer.

From my searches here, I did not read anything about having to replace all the resonators in the back. Is this true?

They have to install the tips. Ask them to sell you the hitch and put it on yourself. They are required to put on the tips due to the heat/safety issue. The tips don't need to be installed for the hitch to work.
