Features to know about

Get More Out of Every Trip: Class III Strength with a 2" Receiver

This hitch is built for everyday hauling and weekend adventures. With a 5,000-lb gross trailer weight rating and 500-lb tongue weight, it’s ready for small trailers, boats, and cargo carriers. When paired with a weight distribution setup, capacity jumps to 7,500 lbs GTW and 750 lbs TW. The 2" x 2" receiver fits the most common accessories—bike racks, storage platforms, and ball mounts—so you can tow or carry gear without needing adaptors.

Keep the Look Clean: Concealed Cross Tube Design

No one wants a bulky hitch hanging under their bumper. The square-tube design on this model tucks up tight so that only the receiver is visible. The concealed cross tube keeps the rear end looking clean and close to factory while still giving you full towing strength. It’s a solid pick if you like performance without changing your vehicle’s appearance.

Built to Last: Fully Welded Steel with Gloss Black Powder Coat

The hitch body is fully welded for strength and precision alignment. Curt’s gloss black powder coat over a protective base coat resists rust and corrosion from road debris, salt, and weather. That finish not only protects the steel but keeps it looking sharp for years of towing and storage use.

Simple Bolt-On Install: No Welding or Drilling Required

Installation is straightforward—bolt it directly to existing frame points using your vehicle’s hardware. No drilling or welding is needed, and complete installation instructions are included. Once it’s torqued down, you’re ready to hook up a trailer or load your carrier and hit the road.

This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.

by:

Easiest install and very excellent quality. It looks so perfect that this could be a factory hitch. I would buy from etrailer again and again. This makes the family Jeep useful and packing the boat and heading to the wild soon.



by:

Bought this hitch as an early Father’s Day gift for my dads 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee ...fit like a glove!! Installation time 10 minutes!!..just a 21mm socket, impact wrench and torque wrench needed.



by:

I’ve had trouble finding a hitch that would fit around my aftermarket exhaust. 2011 Grand Cherokee V8 with Gibson exhaust that are wider than the stock exhaust. The Draw-Tite was to wide. The Curt hitch was a perfect fit. Excellent quality as well. If you have aftermarket exhaust or just need more clearance the Curt is perfect.



by:

Very happy with the hitch and wiring kits for my Jeep Grand Cherokee. I was able to install it myself with the helpful Installation videos.



by:

Looks great and was so easy to install



by:

Great hitch



by:

THE RECEIVER FIT LKIE A GLOVE WHEN I INSTALLED IT WITH NO PROBLEMS. I WOULD GIVE A RATING OF TEN IF YOU HAD ONE.



by:

Ordered this particular hitch for my '11 GC because the reviews were good and I wanted one that would be relatively subtle in appearance. It definitely met my expectations - it seems very well built and the only exposed portion is the receiver - everything else sits up behind the rear facia. Installation was incrediably easy too. I added an OEM receiver cover and it looks very clean - almost as if it came from the factory - except I have a full bumper! Included are a few pic's exhibiting what it looks like installed.



by:

Hitch fit well. Easy to install.



by:

Excellent product and very straightforward to install. Opted for the Curt T-Connector C55515 and will have my dealer flash computer to recognize new configuration. Already used hitch with trailer to haul several heavy items up to about 2000lbs with no trouble whatsoever. Should have got this years ago!



by:

Bought this hitch for my 2014 Grand Cherokee to carry my bicycles. Customer service was very useful in completing the order. The order was shipped overseas to San Juan, PR arriving promptly and in excellent condition. I installed the hitch by myself in under 30 minutes without any difficulties. The installed hitch looks great. I'am very happy with this product and my buying experience.



by:

Great welds, great final paint coat. Did notice there was more gap between the bolt flanges and the inner frame than expected. Roughly 7/16”. Good that the bolts were long enough.



by:

Great customer service and Another quick delivery using UPS.



by:

The Curt C13065 hitch was received quickly and installed in two hours by myself (73 yrs old) using no hoist or even a jack or creeper. Just laid on the double corrugated cardboard shipping box with my sockets and torque wrench. It tucks up nicely out of sight except for the 2 inch receiver. The install went fine and is shown with the Yakima Holdup 2 Y02443 both received quickly from etrailer. Both shown on the back of my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Highly satisfied with both.



by:

I was in need of a tow hitch and I came across etrailer.com - I was excited to receive my delivery, however UPS delivered my shipment to another address and I had to endure the process of filing a claim and waiting for confirmation and be resent another trailer hitch. When finally receiving my package, the process went smoothly: the videos were a great help!
I had a small hiccup with the wiring, however I figured it out quite quickly.
I would thank all the reps at etrailer.com ( Alley and Toni) that helped me along the way through thick and thin. You all are great assets to the company. I will share your site with all my friends in need.



by:

My husband is legally blind and was able to install this without any help! He said we should have bought this a long time ago now that he realized how simple it was to install. Of course, I will need to help him install the wiring kit, but I don’t foresee that being an issue! Thanks etrailer for the fantastic How To videos!



by:

Easy installation, work and looks great



by:

Great experience, best online price on this quality hitch, (discrete and looking much better than the model showing the tube running across and underneath the rear bumper) quickly delivered in a very professional packaging.
Thanks etrailer.com!

Thanks for the follow up, and wow! Time flies....I still love the hitch and put it to good use every week about twice a week to take my boat to the ramps among other things.



by:

Easy to buy, easier to install on 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee.



by:

Hitch was easy to install and looks great as it’s hidden behind the bumper.



by:

Looks very well made. Installation was straightforward and fit vehicle nicely.



by:

Hitch was a bit too wide, had to actually use a floor jack and large screwdriver to wedge it in place. Specs were off on this one. I would have returned it, but I already disposed of the box. Got it in after some work. Disappointed for the money I spent on it. Yes, it was the correct one for my vehicle.



by:

Hitch showed up in a timely fashion and was an exact fit. Only thing I could knock was the box was tore up when It showed up but that’s an issue with the shipper not etrailer. All in all very happy with the outcome.



by:

Tow hitch is solid and paint appears to be heavy duty. Wiring kit was pretty easy to install and everything works great. Easy ordering and quick shipping.



by:

I am SO happy with this hitch receiver! I just purchased a new-to-me Jeep Grand Cherokee and the very first order of business was to get a hitch receiver installed for our bike rack. A local company approved to install etrailer hitches quoted > $300 for intall, so I got a friend with a torque wrench to help us out. With my fiance assisting him with positioning, it took all of 30 mins to unpack and install- didn't even need to jack it up. Took a moment to realize the bolts were already on the car- so don't expect a bolt kit. Threw the bike rack on it immediately, and this morning we hauled our bikes an hour away with ease and confidence. I love this model b/c all you see is the receiver, none of the tubing. I am one happy girl! Thank you etrailer, I'm a repeat customer and will continue to be!

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo
    I would be happy to Ronald! To add a hitch to your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, I recommend the Curt item # C13065. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver that has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity and a 500 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like the Curt Hitch item # C13065 because the entire crosstube is hidden behind your rear bumper. All you'll be able to see is the 2" receiver and the safety chain loops. This not only looks better but really helps with ground clearance, leaving...

  • 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation
    When installing the Curt 7-way harness part # C55774, which is a fit for your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, you actually want to attach the mounting bracket to the rear bumper of your vehicle and not to the hitch. Drilling into a hitch tube actually voids the warranty. The Curt hitch part # C13065 is a fit for your vehicle as well and would be a great hitch solution.

  • Brake Controller, Hitch and Trailer Wiring Harness Recommended for 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    Good afternoon Bob! I'd be happy to help you with that. Let's start with the hitch. I'd recommend going with the Curt # C13065 which fits all GC models except for the SRT, EcoDiesel or Trackhawk models. For the SRT, use # 75699. For the Trackhawk, use # DT38MR. For a trailer wiring harness, I'd go with # 118727. To wire the controller and add a 7-way trailer connector, you'd use our # ETBC7 brake controller install kit. For a brake controller, I prefer something that remotely mounts like...

  • Comparing Curt 13065 and 13182 Trailer Hitches for 2013 and 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel Models
    The big difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13182 (confirmed to fit your 2013 and 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel models) and # C13065 is that the crossbar for the latter runs in a straight line whereas it has more of a rounded shape for the 13182. When I spoke with my contact at Curt he said that the exhaust is in the way for the 13065 and that he believes the gas tank was in the way as well. Since the 13182 has a different design it will fit your vehicles. So even...

  • Best Hidden Trailer Hitch Between Draw-Tite and Curt for 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee With Gas Engine
    So of the hitches you mentioned, the Draw-Tite # 75713 does not fit a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a gas engine, and the Curt # C13182 does not have a concealed crosstube so it would not be a good option for aesthetics as it would be totally visible (I did confirm this has a 6,000 lb towing/600 lb tongue weight). I do have two much better options for your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a gas engine I recommend checking out: - Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75699 - Curt Trailer Hitch...

  • What is a Concealed Cross Tube Trailer Hitch
    What that means is that the cross section of the hitch that runs side to side is completely out of sight once it's installed onto the vehicle. The hitch you looked at, part # C13065, has a hidden cross tube that you can't see with it installed. Take a look at the first picture. For a hitch that isn't a hidden cross tube, like part # C13182, you can see more of the hitch under the rear bumper like in the second picture.

I attached a picture that shows this hitch installed and you can see what I mean. The part # C13182 would have the cross tube visible so it wouldn't be my first choice if you were looking for as hidden of a hitch as possible.

    The main difference between the Curt # C13065 and the Curt # C13182, which is also a confirmed fit on the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee, is the shape of the cross-tube. The Curt # C13065 has a square cross-tube, where the # C13182 has a round crosstube; which just creates a little different look on the back but no real functional difference.
