Most Popular Visible Cross Tube for 2018 Jeep Renegade

Fantastic trailer hitch. Fit is perfect. I would note two things - first, if you can get access to a lift, do it. If you need to drill, this will be a tremendous help. Second, get help installing this. This would've been a massive PITA had there not been multiple hands working on this. 40 minutes if you've installed this before maybe, took us at a shop about 1 1/2 hours when all was said and done. But once installed, looks great and works perfect.

Great quality, was not difficult to install. My jeep renegade has a 1.5" lift and it still fits just fine, very close but still works, the exhaust is about 1/2" away from hitting the hitch due to the spacers needed for the lift. So far no noises from contact or anything.

I purchased the Curt C13269 Hitch for my 2018 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk. The build quality of this hitch is great. It is massive. Welds are very good. Fitment on my Trailhawk is much easier than a non-Trailhawk Renegade due to the Trailhawk has all the threaded mounting points and mounting bolts installed, so you don't even need to open the hardware package that comes with the hitch. I did the installation by myself by using a floor jack to lift up back end then used jack stands. I used the floor jack to get the hitch in place and also used paracord on each side of the hitch to get it into position to get bolts started. My only complaint is the condition that the hitch arrived in. The box was pretty much in pieces and the hitch had lots of scratches, and gouges in the paint/powder coating. I would suggest to etrailer to box them better. It is obvious the damage was due to shipping and not manufacturing. For me that really was not a big issue because I had already planned to coat the entire hitch with Rustoleum Pro Undercoating spray - which works very well for preventing rust. After the installation was complete I sprayed all mounting areas and mounting bolts with the undercoating spray to help keep rust from starting. So - all in all, the hitch is excellent, etrailer service was very good, and I'm very happy with the product.

CURT C-13269 HITCH RECEIVER ONTO A 2018 RENEGADE "TRAILHAWK" First, about etrailer.com. This is the 5th curt receiver I have purchased from them and installed. They all were shipped very promptly, and arrived in excellent condition. Great people to work with! The videos you can access from their website are very informative, BUT- both the video and the instructions were somewhat out-of-date for my 2018 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk! It turns out even easier than the instructions show! All the Curt products have been very easy to install, they arrive with good instructions, and a complete bolt & hardware kit. I was very impressed with the “Threaded Fish Wires” they include. They greatly simplify the job. Getting down to the install. First, the entire bag of hardware can be set aside, fish wires, bolts & nuts, and reinforcing/ lock plates! 2018 Jeep Renegades (at least mine,) come with threaded inserts in all the relevant holes (6) in the bottom and sides of the frame rails! Mine even came with factory supplied bolts- (Photo#1,) (Grade 10.9 -14mm x 2.0 thread x45mm long with lock washers) -installed in all the holes! (They require a 21mm or 13/16” socket to remove/re-install.) (Photos #5 &6) From there, it’s pretty straightforward. Remove the existing bolts, and per the instruction and/or video, scrape the excess sealer from the bolt-hole areas, and remove the (2) bolts from the muffler support brackets to allow extra clearance during the install. (Photos #2 & 3). With the help of a jack, and an assistant, push & wiggle the receiver up into place, align the holes and re-install the supplied bolts. I torqued mine to the torque rating mentioned in the instructions. Then replace the muffler support bolts, and – That’s All, Folks! NOTE THE THREADED HOLE (S) IN THE FRAME BOTTOM, FORWARD OF THE MUFFLER BRACKETS! (Photo #2) THESE HAVE PLASTIC PLUGS IN THEM. THEY ARE NOT USED FOR THE HITCH INSTALL! Photo #9 shows the completed install, still up on the hoist. You can see the receiver is at about the same height as the rear differential, which might give it some protection. Oh, did I mention! I’m a retired professional mechanic (45 Years) so I have all the tools, and a home shop, with a lift! Having said that, there is no reason anyone else with a modicum of mechanical know-how, and basic tools, can’t do the job in their own garage or driveway. Tools used: ½” Dr. Ratchet, 1- 6”, 1- 3” extension, a universal joint adapter, and 21mm or 13/16” sockets for the large bolts, and a 13mm socket for the muffler bracket bolts. (If you have an Air Compressor and an Impact Wrench, that helps, but not required.) A Ft./Lb. Torque Wrench. Finishing up, I torqued the bolts to 80 Ft/Lb. A stubby Phillips screwdriver – used to remove the fasteners in the access panels at the rear of the wheel wells. If the whole fastener turns, use a finger, pliers or other tool to hold it, while unscrewing the center screw. I used a carton knife and a sharp wood chisel to scrape off the putty/sealer on the frame. You could use 3/8” ratchet and accessories to remove the large bolts, (they are not real tight,) but you will probably want ½” drive tools to tighten them. If you’re going to be working on the ground under the car; PLEASE - USE JACK STANDS TO SAFELY SUPPORT THE VEHICLE!

Perfect fit

It is as expected.

I'd give ya 5 stars except I just recieved it. But I can tell you that your ordering system worked perfectly.

It's well made and mounted right up to my 2021 Jeep GC. I cut the lower bumper and installed the bezel I bought from the dealer. It's easy. Tip: If you remove the lower part of the bumper, there is no need to remove the upper part.

Ill start off with the great customer service, called a rep for assistance and did a great job. He walked me through everything for about 5 minutes. Then I proceeded to order parts at a very reasonable price. Shipping was right on time and tracking was top notch. Now for the parts I received. Trailer hitch receiver was built like a tank, and very easy to install. I didn't even have to take off the whole bumper which I see on your website. There is only one problem with this hitch receiver. Zip ties to hold the facia bracket? It's like putting a $10 paint job on a Rolls Royce. I'm sure you have a good R&D department, but this is unacceptable. I could tell you how to make this better but I'm not part of your team. could be solved by putting a ___ on the ______. R&D should be smart enough and paid well to figure this out. No offense but they can do better. ??ZIP TIES?? Also, it is pitched with a cap but did not receive that. I also purchased A brake controller P3 and a ball hitch. The ball hitch is pictured wrong on your website. It's pictured with an adjustable ball hitch. This is what really wanted but got something entirely different. If it works, I'll be fine with it. I should have caught that, but my eyes adjusted on the adjustable ball hitch. P3 brake controller was very easy to install, about 5 minutes. On a closing note, I will order from etrailer again. Thanks for your business. Just please listen to your customers and fix these problems. Everything and everybody are not perfect. Thanks again.

Delivery was fast and product was as advertised. Installation was straightforward. I did not cut as much of the bottom appearance panel as the directions show. I only cut about 1/4 wide but had to cut about 12 inches long.

Looks like a solid hitch. Customer service has been a nightmare for past week and half. It was shipped in shrink wrap so lots of powder coating was chipped off. They said they would ship a replacement in a cardboard box (wouldn't that have been a smart thing to do the first time?) after receiving pictures. I sent pictures to the first representative. I did not get a reply email, when they said it would be sent same day with a return mailing label. I called twice and left a voicemail with the first rep only to never have my calls returned, or an email sent with what they were doing. I did an online chat a week later, only to receive an email from the second rep saying still waiting on photos. Resent them. Also sent screenshots of the original photo email. Still no acknowledgement to email or voicemail. Called the 800 number again only to be told out of stock until July (4 months) and I get a "$XX paint credit" for their junk packaging job on the original shipment since I need a hitch before July. So here I am with a solid hitch that's going to rust up immediately in several spots if I don't rubberize coat the chips. Some photos of the largest chips shown. I'm sure that'll cost at least $20 in spray on undercoating. Not satisfied. Will not be coming back to e trailer!

I installed this hitch on my 2009 Cadillac Escalade EXT truck! Yes fit perfectly like stock! Had to drill a couple of holes. Lol. The weight difference was a joke compared to the stock crap the factory had on the truck.

Very well built hitch. Somewhat of an easy install. Had to ream out one of the holes a little bit to get one of the blots in.

This is an excellent product. It took me about an hour to install. I bought the hitch so we can easily and safely transport our bikes. It took me about an hour to install.

Fantastic product, easy install, great value!

This is the third hitch I have purchased from etrailer and each purchase has gone smoothly. I will say the two Curt Hitches did install and line up better than another brand I purchased from them but don't recall the brand on that one.

Good trailer hitch. Bought it to attach a bike rack. Installation was fairly straightforward. Hardest part was enlarging the frame holes. A step bit was the way to go. Fits perfectly without interference and is not obtrusive. Very beefy too. Very happy with my purchase.

This hitch installed in a breeze on my old Turbo TJ Wrangler with all the fresh hardware included. The alignment was spot-on as well, which is always nice! The hitch fits snugly under the rear bumper and doesn't interfere with my exhaust outlet either. After a year of substantial use, this hitch is still performing 100%. Altogether, I couldn't be more satisfied!

The build quality of this hitch receiver is excellent -- wonderful fit and finish. It fit perfectly on my 2006 Jeep Wrangler, and the finishes all look very high quality. I put a 1up bike rack on the hitch receiver and have driven 3 bikes about 150 miles and had very little wiggling and jiggling. I am incredibly happy with the hitch and am an etrailer customer for life.

Ordering was a breeze. Delivery was quick. Installation went smoothly. Couldn’t be happier. I bought the unit for carrying bicycles so did not bother with the wiring harness.

Great so far. Recieved hitch but haven't installed it yet. But the product looks very well made and no damage from shipping.

The hitch receiver was busted through the box

Quick easy and with great support. I love etrailer for their service and support.

I really loved DIY projects, I am all done with this task, all by myself. See the photo attached, I strapped it to my motorcycle lift and got it done.

Perfect fit without loosing ground clearance. I need some extra storing space and this hitch was the best choice. When need it just attach the cargo basket or bike rack. Watch videos on how to remove the rear cover, think on 3 hours labor and good luck not braking any small plastic pieces.
