Today on this 2007 Jeep Liberty we are going to be installing Curt hitch part number 13044. We are underneath the vehicle and we are taking a look at the driver side frame rail. As you can see, we have three existing weld nuts here, one at the rear side, one at the middle and then one at the forward side. Those are going to provide our three attaching points for our trailer hitch. And that is going to be the same on both the driver and passenger sides. Into those weld nuts, we are going to be installing 12 millimeter bolts, along with a conical tooth washer, that is provided with our hitch installation kit. And what you may notice is that the weld nuts have some corrosion or road grime built up in them, like on this vehicle. So the first thing that we want to do is go ahead and clean those out thoroughly. To do that, we just want to take a spray lubricant, like a WD-40 and go ahead and spray that down. Then we just want to take a thick bristled wire brush of some sorts and go ahead and run that in there. You probably need to do that a couple times. And we just want to repeat that for all six of the weld nuts. 1:02
Another thing that we want to point out is you may have some difficult getting the forward most bolt into the weld nut on the passenger side due to the exhaust being in the way. And if that is the case, you can go ahead and remove the exhaust off of its rearmost hanger here to help give you a little bit more room. To do that, again, you just want to spray the studs down on the exhaust hanger. And you can take either a pry bar or a pair of pliers and go ahead and remove the rubber hanger from the studs. OK, now that we have all of the weld nuts thoroughly cleaned out, we can go ahead and put the hitch up in position. Again, we are going to be using the 12 millimeter bolts and conical tooth washers, that are provided with the installation kit, to attach the hitch up into position. OK, now that we have all of the fasteners in place, we can go ahead and start torquing our bolts down. You want to check with the directions to verify the appropriate torque rating for each of the bolts. 2:01
And with all of the bolts torqued down, you just want to make sure that you put your exhaust back up on its hanger, if you had removed it earlier and our installation will be complete. And now that we have the hitch installed, we are going to give you a couple of final dimensions that will help make choosing your hitch accessories a little bit easier. From the ground to the top of the receiver tube opening if going to be 17-3/8 inches. And from the center of the pin hole to clear the spare tire on the back of the vehicle is going to be approximately 14-1/2 inches. This will conclude the installation of Curt hitch part number 13044 on a 2007 Jeep Liberty.

Great customer service and follow up by etrailer personnel. I had some difficulty on the installation from the ground without putting the vehicle on a hoist or ramp. The overall experience was great, the instructions, video and website information was very helpful. 30460

The product came well packaged and just as expected. The installation was for a Jeep '06 Liberty and the fit was perfect. It looks great; only the receiver itself is visible. The only real delay was due to the holes in the frame being VERY dirty and that's not etrailer's fault :) I thought the bolts were too big at first but they were correct; there was just that much crud in the holes. The install would have been as estimated but the cleaning took me a couple of hours because of my limited tools. This wasn't the case on my other vehicle's install (only 30 minutes) but plan for it just in case. Customer service is outstanding. This was my second receiver purchased at etrailer and I will be back...great shopping experience.26591

I got a trailer hitch and wiring harness for a 2007 Jeep Liberty. The products were shipped quickly and customer service was great. Instructions were included that made the install go very smoothly (in addition to videos on youtube). I would not hesitate to purchase from etrailer again. 24169

I liked the quality of the product that I receiveed the only issue that I had was when the box was delivered the trailer hitch was protruding through the bottom of the box. During installation it was apparent the hitch was no longer square and not all of the bolts would line up. I did manage to square it back up with a jack and install properly.22547

Hitch is nice, but video was a little misleading as to time. I had to chase my threads with a tap and oil. 22182

Hitch arrived in less than 5 days with standard shipping. Hitch was very easy to install. I recommend retapping the holes. Just remember they are metric not SAE. Perfect fit less than a quarter inch under bumper. Instructions were very easy to follow and having the YouTube link online was a great help.12400

1st Time Buyer through etrailer.com I am extremely happy with my first experience with etrailer.com. The whole process was simple and easy from the internet search to the ordering to the delivery of my products. I just, today, received my Trailer Hitch Receiver and accessories. I am sure that installing my said products will be just as easy. I was especially impressed with etrailer's team that kept me up-to-date on the confirmation of my order to the date they shipped my products. The whole process took less than 5 days. I will in the future look to etrailer.com for any additional products I might need. Thank you etrailer.com. 5179

Love It! 2006 Jeep Liberty. Ordered hitch, came super fast. Gas station guys put hitch on in less then 15 minutes, and they didn't even charge me! Perfect fit, couldn't be happier. Had to order the Hitch Adapter to fit my 1 1/4 thule bike rack that I got from my brother's friend, but that's okay cuz I saved money all around!! When things go this smooth I'm a happy person!3360
