Hello. We just purchased an 09 Journey RT 2wd a couple of months ago and love it! It has every option except for the nav, AWD and the tow package. I hope that we do not regret the AWD but we seem to be getting great fuel economy with ours the way it is. I would now like to add the hitch as I have a snowmobile trailer. I am also in Canada and can get the Mopar for $210 here in Saskatoon. The aftermarkets are only about $20 cheaper. Looking at different posts, the aftermarkets seem to stick out like a sore thumb on this vehicle. Normally I'm not so fussy but on our Journey I seem to be. I have a few questions if you can help me out. First, how has the hitch been for you? I'm not sure what to think about the 90 degree adapter that you have to buy. And secondly, what type of wiring did you purchase? My dealership wants about $170 for the mopar which I think is rediculous. I can get an aftermarket for around $50. Just curious as you said you had to flash the computer, I wonder if this is necessary on an aftermarket easy plug style adapter. By the way, I have seen yours and I think it looks better that you cut out the bumper as opposed to the other option of having it looked bubbled out with the mopar hitch. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
