This Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver gives you the muscle to handle light to moderate towing and everyday hauling. With a 4,000-lb maximum gross trailer weight rating and 400-lb tongue weight limit, it’s built for small campers, boats, or utility trailers. The 2" x 2" receiver opening works with most ball mounts, bike racks, and cargo carriers, so you can easily hook up gear for the next trip or project.
The square-tube design and precision, robotic welds make this hitch solid and dependable even after years of use. A gloss black powder coat finish over a protective base coat resists rust and corrosion from road grime and weather. It keeps its clean look under the bumper instead of standing out or collecting rust spots.
No welding or drilling is needed to mount this hitch to the frame. The bolt-on installation lines up easily with factory holes, and the complete hardware kit comes right in the box. Whether you’re setting it up in the driveway or garage, it’s designed for a quick fit using standard tools — no special equipment required.

Hitch was delivered faster than I expected. Ordered on Yuesday and delivered on Friday. I took the time to make sure the bolts were already freed up from the rust on my Wrangler so when I installed the hitch it actually only took 10 minutes.
Was towing the jet ski 30 minutes later.
Excellent service from distributors and the delivery service
Will definitely order items if needed
Thanks
The trailer hitch receiver arrived quickly and installed easily. Appears to be well built and looks good. No complaints.
Great product, fantastic accompanying hardware... particularly with regard to the wire to fit the bolt up into the frame with. Most companies wouldn't care enough to send anything like that with the order. There was a problem with the transaction, someone from the company called me immediately and I re-placed the order using PayPal with no issues. Shipping was quick and the product itself is very good quality. Keep up the good work. Thank you.
13408 Class III Hitch Wrangler - quality product; easy to install; looks great on the Jeep; excellent price & quick delivery.
Needed a hitch for my 05 Unlimited Rubicon that didn't bolt from the side of the frame. This was perfect! 4 bolts, super simple install, and it looks great! I would recommend this hitch to anyone with a 1997-2006 Jeep TJ or Unlimited.
Was a little skeptical about the fishing of mounting bolt. Oh my God it was simple. Extremely easy install and very satisfied. Including the wiring harness I bought from etrailer 45 minutes to install everything. And I didn't even have to remove my existing bumper. Thumbs up to Etrailer and Curt Manufacturing.
Product came in a timely manner. Bolted right up to the frame. No hassle and straight forward installation instructions. Looks good and holds my Thule t2 pro xt rack very snuggly.
Will recommend.

Perfect fit. Quality product from Curt. How-to installation video by etrailer.com team clear, concise, and spot on. About 30 minutes to install.
All products ordered were in stock and shipped same day. Really like the comprehensive tracking page that shows progress on map, lists how-to videos, and other information about your products (all in one place).
This was by far the easiest, fastest, most efficient product that I have ever ordered on-line.
Installed on a 2004 jeep wrangler. Installation was really easy and fast. Etrailer videos made installation a breeze. Installed by myself, only hard part was lifting hitch in place and catching the bolt, but I was able to lift one side into place and balance the other side on my knee. After that just install the rest of the bolts and make sure you have a 1/2 torque wrench that can tighten to 110 ft lbs. I highly recommend this hitch!
Great quality and easy to install as per instructions. Thanks for a good product and helpful videos. The wiring harness was even easier to install (except for accumulation of dirt in my face from the covers.) use of safety goggles might be a good tip. My bumper is hollow on the back. Actually a piece of U channel, so after glueing a magnet to the plug I can hide all wiring out of sight behind it.
Good fit as designed.
I read multiple reviews on ordering the right trailer hitch for my 2005 TJ, and decided based on the reviews that etrailer was the way to go. Installation from their videos looked simple and straightforward, and the overall reviews wee great. I ordered the hitch on a Tuesday, set it up for 3-5 day delivery, and it arrived Monday afternoon. I was hoping for a Friday delivery so I could install it over the weekend, but I didn't get my order in quick enough. Regardless, the product showed up on Monday and was very simple to install. The fishing method worked perfectly, and I had the entire hitch installed and torqued down within 30 minutes. I would highly recommend this company and this hitch. I'm attaching a picture (sorry I peeled off your stickers, I just wanted a cleaner look).

This is a two part review. The first is etrailer and their service. This was my first experience with them and I am IMPRESSED. I placed the order Tuesday night at 8:30 and it was delivered at 12:30 Thursday afternoon. Their communication is excellent. Their website is fantastic for tracking the shipment. I found myself checking it more often than I should have just to watch the progress on the map.
Part two: the receiver. Everything was right, nothing was damaged, everything fit, everything worked the first time. The packaging was good. The Curt receiver is solid with good welds and good paint. The holes lined up. The instructions were good enough. Oh yeah my only complaint is the carriage bolt heads were a little to big to fit through the hole in the frame. I had to cut maybe 1/8" off one side. Other than that you need to have a little patience in fishing the wire down through the frame. The first one took me at least 20-30 minutes and some serious words. The second one went though the first try and took 2 minutes.
This receiver is bigger than is needed for my Jeep but it keeps the hitch the same size as our truck and as long as I don't try to pull 4000LBS with it, oversize won't hurt. It was only $20 more for the 2".
All in all I'm very happy with the purchase and with etrailer.
Put on my jeep 97 SE TJ. Great paint, easy installation every thing required was in the kit. 10mins to put together. Super fast delivery.

Install on a 97 Jeep wrangler a year ago in Iowa winters and no rust. Use it more of a anchor when I get stuck. Tough as nail no bends or wear.
I really appreciated your attention to detail. It was obvious that you take pride in your work. Torque specs, bolts, and fish wire all provided and worked perfectly. I'm very happy I chose your brand to support my products, and hopefully soon my company will produce trusted equipment like you do!
I needed a trailer hitch for a small utility trailer and a bike rack. I was hesitant about ordering a hitch as the dealer had replaced the factory bumpers with tubular ones. I had read that this is sometimes an issue with clearance for the hitch. However, in a response to an earlier question on the site, etrailer had responded how much clearance was needed and where to measure from on the frame. I measured and had 1/4 inch to spare so I went ahead and ordered. It fit using the factory holes, and the reverse fishing technique as described in the directions worked perfectly and it was installed within a matter of minutes. Very pleased with the hitch and highly recommend it!
Great product and great service. I would give this product and this company a 5 star rating in all categories.

I priced out a complete receiver hitch installation kit from a local dealer and was quoted $310.00 Purchased the receiver hitch for my 2004 Jeep Wrangler from etrailer for much less than that and my son and I did the install in less than 30 minutes.
I shop on line for just about all purchases (107 in the last six months) This company is at the top of my list on all aspects of on line orders.
I can't believe it's been a year already! I meant to leave a review in early 2019 about how easy the install was on my 2004 Wrangler Sport TJ, how clear the instructions were, how quickly the order shipped, and how competitive the pricing was ... but a year goes by quickly with a Jeep!
In the last year I've pulled trailers loaded with mulch and more, multiple boats, and even one of those hitch racks for the cooler. This hitch has never missed a beat.
Probably the best testimonial I can give is the stump extraction: I removed about a dozen ornamental bush stumps with a 2" tow strap loop and a chain -- piece of cake!
If you're on the fence, don't think twice. This hitch will bring a whole new sense of utility to your Jeep for years to come.
Easy install and quick shipping
Only problem is the tailpipe rattles against it
Pro tip: mount the trailer plug in the hollow, stock bumper easy to do as well

Very pleased with the ease of install. I recently removed the hitch to address some surface rust on my frame and re-install was just as easy. Only issue I have is that my exhaust tailpipe rattles against the hitch so I will need make some adjustments to my exhaust
This hitch receiver is very well built of high quality materials. Perfect fit, all parts were included and it came with accurate, easy to understand instructions. I added the reflective strips after the fact. They were not included with the hitch. I couldn't be happier.

Im very pleased with the hitch. I haul a small utility trailer occasionally and havent had any problem at all. Finish is holding up well and no signs of corrosion at all. Great product from a great supplier. Thanks Etrailer.
Great product and outstanding service by eTrailer. I always look here first when making purchases.
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!

Following-up after a year, this Curt trailer hitch on the old Wrangler still looks like new and continues to perform! The powder coating has held up perfectly as well, which is important to note. Altogether, Im still 100 satisfied!
