This Curt hitch is built with a 2" x 2" receiver opening and rated for a maximum gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 750 lbs. When used with weight distribution, it handles up to 6,000 lbs GTW and 750 lbs TW. That makes it a solid choice for towing small campers or utility trailers, or for mounting bike racks and cargo carriers without worrying about flex or strain.
This hitch bolts right onto the frame using existing holes—no drilling or welding. The fully welded, square-tube design aligns cleanly for a precise fit, so you can install it in your driveway with basic tools. It’s an easy upgrade for anyone who likes to handle their own projects instead of paying shop rates.
The hitch is made from durable, powder-coated steel that's protected from rust and corrosion by a gloss black finish over a base coat. This layered coating helps it stand up to road salt, weather, and rough use season after season. The visible cross tube gives it a clean, solid look under the bumper while adding extra rigidity to the frame.
With its Class III rating and sturdy build, this hitch gives your vehicle real versatility. You can use it for light to moderate towing or mount accessories like cargo trays and bike racks. Whether you’re hauling gear for work or loading bikes for the weekend, it’s engineered to perform every time without compromise.

Ratings & Reviews
The hitch is for My wife's jeep. We watched a couple videos available and decided that this was the way to go instead of buying a hitch from the dealer for 3X the cost of this one. We also purchased the easy wiring harness to make the total installation a breeze.
Very happy with the purchase. Looks almost factory on our Jeep Cherokee. The online video on installation was very helpful and the instructions were spot on. Installed it myself in about an hour. It would have been easier on a lift with some help, but I used a floor jack to assist with the installation and I was able to do it myself on the garage floor. The hitch looks good. Haven’t used it yet, but it feels sturdy enough for our use. I ordered it online and delivery was very prompt. Box was damaged, but the hitch was ok.

The hitch worked out great. It’s on my wife’s Jeep and we use it with a bike rack. Great to have when we don’t pull a camper and just want to go biking.
We use this trailer hitch for connecting a bike rack and it works just as expected. No issues at all, definitely worth a recommendation. Installation was comparably easy, it is however a two man job and you need a good, sturdy torque wrench...no different than on any other trailer hitch.

After a year in the harsh Michigan climate it is still working fine. The salt in winter has caused only minor surface rust at the tip. Still works great, looks good and a definite recommendation.
Quick delivery. Easy instructions.Great fit. No problems.
Two 72 year old guys installed your hitch. We've learned to use our heads as our brawn is waining. My buddy has a lift, so we lifted the Jeep. We placed the hitch on a transmission jack after fishing the bolts in place. Fed the wires into the correct hitch mounting holes and lifted the hitch into place. Less than an hour and it was beer thirty.
Got home and attached my bike rack....all is well.
Thanks for a great product.

Still looking good and working like a champ. Thanks.
great company to buy from. Prices are hard to beat. The trailer hitch and wiring harness I purchased were fairly easy to install. Their web site is invaluable in getting suggestions on installations. I am 84 years and installed my trailer hitch and wiring harness in two days, working by myself. The directions and web site made this job easy and fun. Everything is working just great.

great product and great buy. hitch is working out better than I ever expected. recommend etrailer and products to anyone
Order processed fast delivery was quick and installation was just as promised.
Arrived in under 48 hours! Installation was a breeze, only took 1.5 hours and most of that was spent figuring out where to position the lift points on my Jeep. I can’t wait to put it to use. Thanks so much!
Installed by myself..used floor jack..wife helped balance it with pipe in receiver...had to remove stabilizer bars to get muffler in..easy enough..awesome product
Great. Super easy.
The product installation description is right on. No fascia trimming or lowering of the bumper. Included fish wires worked great. Installed in less than an hour.
Installed in about 30-45min. Just used regular floor jack on one side to give a little room to slide under. A swivel on the torque wrench may help depending on the style. The rear most bolt was a challenge to get torqued, may have been due to not having the jeep on a lift.
Terrific quality and comes with the fish wire to insert the bolts. Simple installation with the right tools and an extra set of hands. Thank you for the quality product!
Very happy with the hitch. Took me longer to install than the estimated time (2 hours) but I am 65 and so is my helper (wife). The directions were perfect. I purchased this so I can put a bike rack on my jeep.
very bery easy to install. etrailer gave me all the tools i need(besides a socket wrench and socket ofcorse) but the screw wires which i was worries that it didnt come with, was included with the package!
Haven’t field tested yet, but the installation was a breeze with some minor help from my wife for her small hands. Installation videos were spot on. Ordered because I found a lady stuck in a ditch and didn’t have one single hitch point on my 2019 Cherokee. Fit test with an 8 1/2 ton shackle. Pin slides right into the hook points.
This was an easy install (2015 Jeep Latitude). I did almost all the work by myself (65 years old). A few blocks of wood helped. The hardest part was running the hot wire to the battery and that little self-tapping ground screw. The screw fell out of the bit holder and drop down into the body. Luckily it fell through to the ground (I should have put a rag underneath to catch it). I didn't need jack stands but I did have a 2" ledge that I was able back onto and that gave me plenty of room underneath. I'm very pleased with the results.
I have purchased several hitches from this company now and have always been very pleased with the quality of their products. The additional installation instructions and customer support is outstanding as well. Will be ordering another hitch for my son soon...
Had used etrailer.com before and had such a very nice experience, so when I recently bought a new Jeep and needed A new hitch receiver, I knew where to begin. After reading the reviews and watching videos, I decided on Curt 13171. Installation with the etrailer video and directions couldnt have been simpler. Took about 30 mins to get done. A concern I had was dropping the muffler down to get to the access holes and I was able to install it without doing that. Perfect fit, functional, looks great, and priced right. Very satisfied. I cant recommend etrailer and this receiver more highly. Thanks so much.
Very nice heavy duty hitch
My installation was on a 2019 Cherokee Trailhawk 3.2. No difficult with minimal mechanical skills, and having a lift and a trans jack made it an easy one person job. In addition to the existing M14 bolts, I did need to "reverse fishwire" 1/2" bolts for the front attachment holes (see photo). Before lifting the hitch in position I recommend trial fitting the bolts to the hitch and file/Dremel if clearance is needed.
Trailhawk owners will loose a lot of "departure angle" ground clearance with this under-slung hitch - see photo.
The Curt trailer is easy to install for someone who is handy.
The installation does not involve any cutting of the bumper fascia
which is great since my Jeep Cherokee is a leased vehicle.
I needed this hitch for my mountain bike rack and my Jeep gets me to those back mountain trails. Ride on!
I weighed all the options about buying a hitch for a new model car online, and decided to buy from etrailer since I read reviews about the great customer service. There was an issue with my shipment and, in fact, the customer service was outstanding and they worked with me on a quick resolution. The hitch was installed on a 2017 Jeep Cherokee and it looks great! I was concerned that since it is not a hidden hitch it would detract from the car, but you can barely notice it. It took about two hours to unpack, read the instructions and install it. We had two people but we used a hydraulic floor jack to lift and keep in place, so it could have easily been a one person job. The instructions were very clear. Had a little trouble with torching the last bolt because of the limited room available. Buying and installing ourselves saved us hundreds of dollars. We are using it for a bike rack and a flatbed trailer. I noticed that the wrap had worn off during transit on all the edges, so maybe covering those edges with cardboard before wrapping would prevent that.
Installed the etrailer hitch on our 2015 Jeep Cherokee Latitude in about 1.5 hours and am very satisfied. The delay wasn't anything to do with the thorough instructions and complete parts included, only to wait for a friend to come help lift the hitch into place. This is definitely a two person install due to the weight and tight quarters plus having the right sockets, torgue wrench and garage space. Would purchase from etrailer again without question. Fast Delivery, complete instructions and value will be remembered about this project. Thank you.

The muffler on our hitch vibrates in its current location & required a heat resistant wrap around this area held in place w zip ties. No problems otherwise. Should have ordered the hitch that is higher up & required a cut out of the bumper however this style would prevent opening the trunk when our carrier is loaded.
