Hello Everyone!!! Just joined the group to hopefully add a little insight to this. I am a parts "advisor" at a dealership, and I know exactly the frustration you are feeling with this. What has happend is the company that made the hitches for Mopar for as long as I have been here (9 years)was changed. I dont know if they went under, lost their bid, whatever, so their was a manufacturer change. This happened midyear 2012. We have a customer who purchased a '12 Journey, wanted a hitch on it, we had one on order for months, and then put on an aftermarket hitch(Little back ground on me-this is the first dealer i have worked for, and had worked in the aftermarket for 17 years)didn't really like the way it fit, but we had to do something. Here it is, February '13 and I have another customer looking for a hitch for their '13 Journey, and Mopar says "maybe middle of April" I agree that it is very maddening that something as common as a hitch is so hard to get. Hopefully, soon, all will be resolved. Take care everyone.
