Features to know about

Haul More Without the Hassle: Class III Strength and 2" Receiver

This Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver gives you the versatility of a 2" x 2" receiver opening that works with most ball mounts, bike racks, and cargo carriers. Rated for 7,500 lbs gross trailer weight and 750 lbs tongue weight, it’s built to handle small campers, utility trailers, or gear haulers with confidence. When used with a weight distribution setup, capacity increases to 8,000 lbs GTW and 800 lbs TW for even more stability on the road.

Tackle Installs in Your Own Driveway: Custom Bolt-On Fit

The fully welded design bolts straight to your vehicle’s frame, so there’s no welding or drilling required. The mounting holes line up cleanly for an easy install using common tools. Whether you’re adding a hitch for towing or for carrying extra equipment, the straightforward bolt-on design makes it a doable weekend project rather than a shop job.

Built to Last Through Every Trip: Durable Steel and Protective Finish

Curt uses powder coated steel over a protective base coat for strong corrosion resistance. The gloss black finish not only looks clean but also helps fight off rust from weather, road debris, and tough conditions. Precision robotic welding adds strength at every joint so your hitch stays solid mile after mile.

Keep It Clean and Functional: Round-Tube Style With Hidden Look

The round-tube design adds a finished appearance that blends well under the bumper without sticking out awkwardly. It keeps your setup looking neat while giving you reliable performance for towing trailers or mounting bike racks and cargo platforms when you need more space for gear.

after 1 year, I have had zero issues with this hitch pulling my travel trailer. this hitch is high quality and very heavy duty. I would definitely recommend this product.



by:

Great product, the box was a bit damaged when it arrived, but no product damage. This was definitely a two-person job, one to hold the receiver and one to start the bolts. However, taking off the bolts and the final tightening it was back to a one person job.
Note, the 21M was not part of my regualr socket set. (Trip one to Lowes.) I also needed an extention for the 3/4 bolts to untighten and retighten. (Trip two to Lowes.)
Honestly; I was not sure about the fishing wire steps, but it really worked out pretty easily. Looks great on the Gladiator, can't wait to get the bike rack on and go for a ride. Definatly would purcahse againI if needed a trailer hitch. It took about 45 minutes, minus the trips to Lowes.



by:

Decided to install myself. Not recommended for a 67 year old but not that bad. Happy with the look and setup.

Glad of the purchase. It looks good and is very strong. I dont worry towing as I would with a lesser quality hitch.



by:

It would have been easier on a lift but my wife and I did it while the Gladiator was parked on the floor.

Works great.



by:

Install was straightforward and easy. Took about 30 minutes with an extra set of hands to hold up the weight of the hitch. I only deducted a star because there are some scratches on the hitch out of the box. Not sure if that happened during shipping or at the factory, but will require so paint correction to keep it from rusting over time. All in all very happy with the product.

Thanks for your feedback, we’re glad to hear the install went smoothly and that you’re happy overall with the hitch! I’m sorry about the scratches you noticed out of the box. That can occasionally happen during shipping or handling, but we definitely want to make sure it’s protected from rust long-term. I’d be happy to offer a small paint credit so you can pick up some Rust-Oleum to touch it up. Just let me know and I’ll get that taken care of for you!



by:

Good product! Just need a breaker bar for the factory bolts



by:

Super easy to install



by:

Very high quality and extremely easy to put on



by:

Very pleased! Our first install with the crossmember mount failed and a bolt got stuck in the crossmember and another install of that type impossible (thanks UHaul!). This mount took minutes to install in my driveway and couldn't have fit better. Already took our first trip with the camper and it pulled like a dream. Included instructions and online video differ slightly with how to fish the carriage bolts and I found the way the video mentioned was extremely easy. I followed the steps from the video and with another person, we had it installed in 15 minutes.



by:

Well, I watched the video how to install it before it got here, and it said anyone could do it with in 30 minutes. I had proper air tools at my house, and I had it on my truck with in 17 minutes, my nephew was timing me, that is after all unboxed and laid out. he did help me hold it in place to get the first bolt started to keep it from falling. but it was so easy just like the video said, and it's a great hitch, totally happy with it and the customer service they assist you with, and the lower style with the tubes showing match the Gladiator roughness anyway and looks good on it. thank you.



by:

Install only took 40 minutes and one beer. Didn’t have the luxury of a lift or second set of hands but was able to use my knee to hold the other side up while I got bolts started on the opposite end. Word of advice is to start bolts on the passenger side if doing it solo as you can actually use the tire heat shield to wedge it against and hold the driver’s side up once you wrestle it into position.

After a year, no complaints here. The finish still looks great and the mounting hardware still looks good with no rust or discoloration. Would definitely buy again.



by:

Thanks . Nice product quick shipping. And the installer you referred me to did an amazing job!



by:

Fits perfect. I was able to install it by myself. I could have used an extra person for install to make it go faster but not necessary. The supplied tool to install the two additional bolts worked well. They made installation a breeze.



by:

Strong and easy to understand how to in stall



by:

It fit awesome! only issue the paint was scratched, but that was shipping no a etrailer issue.



by:

Received product in perfect condition. Install was super easy and straight forward. You are deff gonna want an extra pair of hands for this. Watched the video on how to install and it’s really straight forward. All in all it took about 20 minutes to install with extra set of hands. Great project so far and the family can’t wait for our future adventures!



by:

Excellent. Fitment was spot on and installation was very easy. I highly recommend this product. I have fought with hitches before . This one was as smooth as silk



by:

Great product. Well built. Looks awesome installed on my Gladiator.

  • What Kayak Rack and Bed Extender do You Recommend When Using the Access Lorado # A53VR?
    Yes! You can use both a kayak rack and a truck bed extender on your 2021 Jeep Gladiator with the Trail Rail system. Since the Access Lorado Soft, Roll-Up Tonneau Cover # A53VR leaves the stake pockets completely open, you will be able to install a way to install a kayak rack like a stake-pocket mounted ladder rack. As long as the rack uses only the stake pockets without any clamps onto the bed rails, the rack is compatible with the cover. Since the Access Lorado rack is a roll-up style,...

  • Hitch and Wiring for 2025 Jeep Gladiator Sport
    Hey Ed, thanks for asking. Curt Trailer Hitch # C74DR does not come with trailer wiring but no worries, we have custom fit wiring harnesses for vehicles. Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness with 6 Way Round and 4 Flat Connectors # C55664 is for Gladiators with the factory tow package. The factory connector is usually located underneath the rear bumper near the hitch receiver.

  • Trailer Hitch for Jeep Gladiator
    Hey Nick! The Curt # C74DR and # CU74FR are both designed to fit the 2020-2026 Jeep Gladiator. Both have a bolt-on installation but the # CU74FR will be much easier to install compared to the full hitch. This has a max gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs and tongue weight of 500 lbs. If your Gladiator is equipped to tow more and you need the higher capacity, or if you want to use a weight distribution hitch, you need the # C74DR instead. This hitch is rated for weight distribution and has...

    Hey David, so you'd want the Curt hitch part # C74DR for the 2023 Jeep Gladiator as it's the hitch that has the highest tongue weight capacity at 750 lbs. Then for a carrier the Flint Hill Goods part # FHG69ZR would be a really great option. This has a 500 lb weight capacity.

  • Recommended Bumper Hitch for a 2023 Jeep Gladiator
    For a hitch that attaches directly to your Gladiator's bumper you will want the Curt Trailer Hitch item # CU74FR. This hitch is custom fit and uses included hardware to mount to your Jeep.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System or Extended Ball Mount for Clearing a Tail Gate
    Yeah, there are no TorkLift SuperHitches available for a 2023 Jeep Gladiator or any Jeep. Those are the heaviest duty bumper pull hitches and are reserved for large trucks with the highest towing capacities. You'll want to look into a weight distribution system with an extended shank if your Gladiator's hitch is rated for one. If you have a hitch that mounts underneath your frame like the Curt item # C74DR you can use a weight distribution system. For a 550 lbs tongue weight, I recommend...

  • Recommended Curt Trailer Hitch For A 2023 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon
    Out of the two Curt Trailer hitches, I recommend The Curt Trailer Hitch # C74DR. I like this hitch over the other Curt hitch because it has a more traditional installation and will attach to the frame of your 2023 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon when the Curt Trailer Hitch # CU74FR attaches to the Gladiator's rear bumper cover and will secure through the rear cross member. I will attach pictures of the installations below. The Curt Hitch # C74DR also has a higher towing capacity at 7,500 pounds...

  • Can 2023 Jeep Gladiator Increase Towing Capacity
    It is impossible to increase the manufacturer's towing capacity on any vehicle, including your 2023 Jeep Gladiator. Those towing capacities are set by the vehicle engineers for safety and no product can increase that. Even with a hitch that fits your Gladiator like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C74DR that has a 7,500 lb towing capacity, that is simply what the hitch has been rated for by Curt, and does not represent the capacity of the vehicle. So when towing with your '23 Gladiator...

    Jeff, the Draw-Tite # 65079 is not going to work with your 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. I took a look to see if we have any front hitches for your Rubicon and we unfortunately don't have any. We do have plenty of rear mounted hitches like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C74DR which has a weight capacity of 8,000 lbs, a tongue weight capacity of 800 lbs, and will bolt right up.
