Install went better than expected. The most challenging part is figuring out how to release the fasteners to remove the back panel and for the electrical connections. Other than that the install is easy.

Glad to hear the install wasn't too bad, George! Now that it's done, it looks like it was meant to be there! ^___^ What are you going to be using the hitch for?



by:
2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Customer service was fantastic! I received several emails from William S about my order and enjoyed the personal touch. Fast shipping. I watched the videos before buying, so I had a good idea of what to expect. So glad I bought the wiring harness and circuit tester with the hitch- made things much easier. From start to finish was 3 hours. Would have been a little less, but figuring out how/where to run the hot lead gave us a bit of trouble on our end. The videos were extremely helpful!

Amazing product, install video is just easy to follow. Did everything solo. I would say that the 2 forward exhaust mounting bolt doesn’t need to be removed. Minor detail.
Thank you Etrailer

Thanks for including photos with your feedback Pieter! Way to get the job done :)



by:

The easiest install I have ever done! The video walkthrough for the specific car made the process so easy. I did not have to drop the exhaust, and took me about 3 hours (with a stop to the store). I used very basic tools, but you will need a torque wrench.



by:

I decided to have it professionally installed. I’m over 80 & could afford to do so. That, coupled with not having the time to do it myself!



by:

Got here quickly, was as described. Instructions were clear. This was a little more involved of an install from previous hitches I have put on, but was easy with instructions provided.



by:

These guys are always awesome- great help and great servic



by:

One year into it and still going strong. Towing my bass boat with it every where



by:

The hitch works perfectly and is 5 starts by itself. Removed a stat because it was supposed to come with 6 mounting bolts. Instead i got 5 bolts and a bolt blank that didn’t have any threads cut into it. Apparently quality control was on a break at that time. Otherwise the hitch is great.

This hitch installed without any issues on a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Limited L. It did say an 18" diameter spare tire or smaller was required, but the 20" diameter spare fit with about a 1/4" clearance. Removal of rear bumper on the Grand Cherokee Overland Limited L is fairly quick and is only 8 bolts per side. BE SURE to remove taillights first or you will chip the lower corners of the plastic light assembly. It is only one torx head for the taillight and a small plastic bezel which is simple to remove. The actual hitch install part took 5 minutes as the carriage bolts can be pushed through the frame if you have small hands. A ratcheting closed end 3/4" hand wrench helps on the two side bolts while the bottom bolt can be tightened with a 1/2" drive ratchet with a small extension and a short 3/4" socket.

Arrived quickly. Easy install. Works gr eat.

Instructions are easy to follow. -1 star just because I couldn't use OEM bolts and had to use attached. I don't understand the reason why.

If the manufacturer puts in new hardware in a hitch receiver kit, it is always best to use it because that is the hardware that they have tested their product with. They know that you should be able to torque the half inch hardware to 110 ft lbs and the 5 sixteenths hardware to 178 in lbs.



by:

About 5 hours including the wiring harness. Car was not pre-wired for hitch. Systematic and straightforward if this is the type of work you like.



by:

Not too difficult of an install solo. I simply took my time. Fits as it should. I love the fact that I can keep the hitch covered when not in use.



by:

Hitch fit great, installation was simple. Love the fact completely hidden when not in use.



by:

Arrived on time. Instructions made installation a breeze. Product fit as expected behind factory bumper cover.

Very happy with the Purchase. Item fits perfect and works exactly as intended. Good solid product. One word of caution (that doesn’t even really pertain to the product itself, but rather the model vehicle I installed it on) in the past I have always installed these after market hitches myself, bolting from below. this one however was installed on a 2023 jeep grand Cherokee and required the entire rear bumper to be removed, and required multiple sensors to be recalibrated after reinstallation of the back Panels. So I had to pay a body shop to install this one for me.. cost roughly $250 . Just an fyi If you have a newer vehicle. Product itself however is great.



by:

Went on no problem



by:

great directions-took an hour and a half total-suprising how fast I had back bumper assembly off- and popped right back in!-no damage, no scratches-easy peasey!



by:
2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee WL – new body

I installed the hitch and rear wire harness, I still need to run the 12v supply. I am a retired technician that worked at the Chrysler Tech Center so I am very familiar with doing this type of work. The installation took 1 1/2 hours and had no issues, the hitch and harness are excellent quality and fit perfectly. It is a lot easier to install the wiring with the facia removed. I guess that if I had to complain, they should have a place to screw the wiring module and ground on the hitch itself. The delivery was fast and free and much cheaper than the dealership, I would highly recommend them. Thanks etrailer!

I am happy to read that you are pleased with your purchase! You could try looping the rubber cap through the safety chain loop, or you might like part # 306-X6019 which is a magnetic bracket that you could put on the side of the receiver tube.

Fits perfectly.

Accurate installation instructions for 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee and it looks great!



by:
2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe

Like most projects, it’s always easier if you have the right tools. I did not. I could not loosen the bolts on the existing frame for the life of me. Bought an impact wrench and that did the trick.

Regarding the hitch, video instructions were easy to follow and the whole thing took a little more than an hour (once I had the tools). Great product.



by:

Hitch did not mount as described in video. Had to pay extra for shop having to fish for bolts unlike factory hitch. However, after installation hitch works well.

  • Will Draw-Tite Hitch Work With 20 Inch Spare on 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Summit
    Hi Joe; just like the Curt # C96NR, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT42GR does not allow for a 20" spare tire. However, we do have the Blue Ox Trailer Hitch Receiver # BLU46HR. I just reached out to Blue Ox and they said it will accommodate the larger spare. This fits the 2021-2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L so you can install it on your 2021 Summit L. Are you going to use the hitch for towing? If so, you will also need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C27BR....

  • What Hitch Sticks Out Through the Bumper on a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
    You're looking for the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C96NR. This custom fit hitch mounts behind your 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee's rear bumper cover and can be completely hidden when you're not towing or hauling an accessory. The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C96NR is a class III hitch with a 7,500 lbs towing capacity and a 750 lbs maximum tongue weight. It bolts to your Jeep with included hardware and does not require any drilling to install. I have attached a couple of pictures below along with...

  • Comparing Curt And Draw-Tite Trailer Hitches For A 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    Since both hitches are rated for higher than the capacity of your 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee the capacity really isn't as important of a factor. The smaller factors like the length of the receiver tube and how the safety chain loops sit would be the deciding factor between the two for me. I prefer the Draw-Tite's # DT42GR chain loops since they are a bit wider and slightly further from the receiver tube so you'll have more space to install your hitch bolt and safety chains. On the other hand...

  • Options for Mounting a 7-Way Connector on a 2023 Grand Cherokee L
    You're not really in a good spot to mount the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter item # C57672 to the Curt Hitch item # C96NR on a 2023 Grand Cherokee L. The Curt Easy Mount Bracket item # C58000 should not have been used for that set up though. There was definitely no need to drill into your hitch to mount it either. It's advertised clearly as a no-drill option. The competitor you're talking about is Mopar and their pn 82219040AA hitch has a cut out for a 7-way to be imbedded inside of it....

  • Will Curt Hitch for 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Fit with 20 inch Spare
    Hey Paul, the Curt hitch part # C96NR that fits your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L is listed as not a fit for larger wheels than 18 inch spares. If you have an installer that will guarantee the fit that's interesting but I would be curious why they feel that way. Have they installed the hitch before maybe? Part # C97NR is definitely a typo as that's a replacement 4-way.

    Yes, it will, however you're going to lose the ability to store your spare tire beneath your 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe. The Curt Hitch item # C96NR does indeed fit the Anniversary Edition but along with every other hitch, including the Mopar 82219041AA, none of them leave room for the full size 20" spare. The Curt Hitch item # C96NR is custom fit for the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe it fits all models except for the Trailhawk so your Anniversary Edition model will not cause a compatibility...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Limited
    For your 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT42GR. This currently has a lower price point when compared to the Curt # C96NR you looked at and you won't notice a difference between the two. Both install behind the removable bumper panel so they're hidden when not in use. The Draw-Tite also comes with a built-in bracket to attach your 4-way. For the wiring I would get the Tekonsha # TK39VR. This is the most reliable option and will plug...

That's a plug-in replacement 7-way and 4-way, and isn't compatible with wiring on your Jeep. There isn't a similar look but you can add a 7-way that has a 4-way plug on the side to your Grand Cherokee L with the following: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C96NR - Curt Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C27BR - Universal Installation Kit for...

Or at least that's what makes the most sense since the "B" prep group adds a trailer hitch camera, so you can monitor your trailer connection.

  • Difference Between Curt and Draw-Tite Hitch for 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L
    Hi Jose; the slight curve on the # DT42GR is just how Draw-Tite decided to design the hitch. The same is true for the straight cross tube of the Curt # C96NR. The different designs don't really have an advantage over each other and they have the same towing capacity. Both will be hidden behind the bumper cover so appearance isn't really a concern either. If I were to recommend one it would be the Curt. Curt tends to add a thicker powder coat so it holds up better over time. If you plan...

For the wiring harness you will need two kits. The Curt T-Connector # C27BR and the Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7.
