Hey Jimmy,

My go-to hitch recommendation is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98856 because it has a matte black finish which will keep the hitch in better shape longer than the classic glossy black finish we see with the other hitch fits. The durability and sleek look of the hitch is the perfect combination for an off-road vehicle like a Wrangler.

If you let me know what you plan on using the hitch for I'd be more than happy to make an additional recommendation for you!

@Donnamae I see you all ended up ordering the Hitch # e98856, which is definitely the route I recommend going. All of the hitches for a 2025 Wrangler have pretty much the same depth, so the real difference when it comes to fitment is going to be the design of the bike rack. Do you know what bike rack your customer is wanting to use?

Yes, the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device #THSTL2 bolt will work just fine with your 1-1/4" hitch receiver, and is also considered as an M12 bolt like you mentioned. This is the exact replacement you're looking for.
