Features to know about

Get More Out of Every Trip: Tow, Haul, or Carry Your Gear

This Class III 2" receiver hitch is built for everyday towing and hauling. With a 3,500 lbs maximum gross trailer weight and 525 lbs maximum tongue weight, it’s ready for small campers, boats, or cargo carriers. The 2" opening works with most bike racks and accessories, so you can carry your bikes or extra gear with confidence. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a quick haul across town, this hitch adds real utility to your vehicle.

Built for Real-World Conditions: Matte Black Steel That Lasts

The fully welded steel construction and matte black powder coat finish stand up to harsh weather and daily driving. The finish doesn’t just look tough—it’s designed to hide dirt, scuffs, and dings better than glossy coatings while resisting rust and corrosion. The round-tube design keeps it rugged but clean under the bumper, giving the hitch a purposeful look that fits right in.

Simple Setup in Your Own Garage: Bolt-On Installation with Included Hardware

It bolts straight onto the frame using the included hardware kit, so most folks can get it done in their own driveway with basic tools. The precision robotic welding ensures everything lines up correctly for a clean fit that’s ready to put to work right away.

It is as expected.



by:

I'd give ya 5 stars except I just recieved it. But I can tell you that your ordering system worked perfectly.



by:

I've only had to use it a couple of times but has worked as I had hoped it would. It was fairly easy to install as well.



by:

This hitch is well built but was a real pain to put on and took a lot longer than I expected. It also hangs down a lot more than I would like. It scrapes the pavement on moderately steep driveways and deep holes or big bumps even without a load.



by:

Fast shipping, great product



by:

I have yet to install it looks good was shipped fast the box showed up pretty banged up but doesn't appear that the product was damaged can't wait to get it installed and put it to use pulling my boat and going fishing



by:

Once I figured out the instructions all was fine.



by:

as described. easy installation. thank you



by:

Everything worked flawlessly!! No missing parts. All holes lined up perfectly…. it did take me a while to run the wire from the battery to the back bumper but that’s cause I’m big and ugly!!



by:

Found the part easy on the website placed the order and was shipped quickly as usual



by:

Installation was tougher than I imagined. That is on me. Maybe directions could have been better



by:

Shipped in no time!
Pretty standard install,
I did remove rear wheels and fender liners for better access.
All in all, as advertised.
Will definitely use you guys again.



by:

Seems fine. Hangs a bit low but that’s the cars bumper issue of a Renegade. Not the hitch.



by:

The hitch is just what I expected, good quality, great look can't wait to install.

Fantastic, money well spent...



by:

Great product and service. All my jeeps (9 in total) have their trailer hitch. One pulls a 1981 Military Jeep trailer and works great!!!!!



by:

The hitch was not as easy to install as it was advertised. I had to use a 24" crescent wrench with a pipe to b end the flanges so they would fit over the frame rails, plus it hangs lower than I would like, I even scraped bottom once pulling into a driveway with NO trailer. I should have paid the extra $ and had a factory one installed



by:

The part did not fit as mentioned in the video!
The spacing between hitch brackets and frame of my 2017 Jeep Renegade Sport were line on line, there were no gaps on either side. However, I was able to install the 6 bolts with no problems
I had to take my car to a local shop, the mechanic had to drop the exhaust system down (which the video did NOT mention that on my car model) and it took them 1.5 hours to install it.
It cost me $[XX] (just labor) just to install the hitch.
BTW, the shop did not recommend towing trailers with this product, however, they said it will be fine for bike racks.
I do not recommend this product.



by:

Hitch itself works great. Install was easy following the video. The only issue is that with the stock Jeep Renegade, the hitch rides low- which was advised during the video. This is the third hitch I have bought and installed from e trailer and I will always come back



by:

Great product I wish it was a smaller profile so it wouldn't sit so low but it does a great good for hauling my hunting e-bike



by:

Works perfect. Went on exactly as the video shows. Looks great. I don't care about the loss of rear departure angle as I do not off road. If you off road consider something tighter to the rear bumper. It does what I need and looks great to me.



by:

So far excellent, everything arrived early and in great condition, I started with electrical because I am adding a 12 volt remote for a 110 inverter in addition to trailer hook up



by:

Quality product and convenient installation kit.



by:

Excellent item well made but very difficult to install if your not handy. . You will definitely need 2 people to install. Make sure you have extra clips for the side covers they will break off. They're made of cheap plastic are brittle. Also keep in mind of muffler when installing it together. Drop down but don't forget to lift hitch up and over or else it won't fit. But live the way it came out.



by:

Works good pretty low to the ground but works for towing my little boat

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2019 Jeep Renegade
    It sure does Charles. The Curt Hitch item # C12142 does indeed fit your 2019 Jeep Renegade. It bolts on to your frame from underneath so you will not have to remove the rear bumper to get this hitch installed. I linked an installation video below along with the instructions so you can see how to get this hitch set up. I do want to point out that the Curt Hitch item # C12142 you were looking at, is only a class II hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. This hitch has a 2,000 lbs towing capacity...

  • Do You Sell the Bolts, Spacers, and Fish Wire for a Hitch?
    Hey Daniel, welcome back! We do not sell the bolts or spacer. I have the fishing wire available for individual sale item # C58400 but the other two parts you'll either need to source elsewhere or purchase with the Replacement Hardware Kit for Trailer Hitches item # RHK. You will see an option asking for your Hitch Item Number. In this box you will want to insert e37AR. This will give you the entire hardware kit that originally came with your hitch.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Jeep Renegade
    The best hitch for a 2023 Jeep Renegade is the etrailer Hitch item # e37AR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Jeep with included hardware. This is our house brand hitch but it is manufactured by Curt and is identical to their item # C13269 hitch with the exception of price and paint finish. The etrailer Hitch item # e37AR is made in the USA. It is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver that has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity and a 525 lbs maximum tongue weight. I have attached a...

  • Comparing Draw-Tite Hitch 76201 and etrailer Hitch e37AR for 2021 Jeep Renegade
    The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT82QR and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e37AR are both great options for a 2021 Jeep Renegade. The ground clearance between them is similar though the Draw-Tite has a hidden crosstube so it will look a bit better and this also provides slightly more ground clearance.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch with Best Ground Clearance for 2022 Jeep Renegade
    The class III trailer hitch options we offer for a 2022 Jeep Renegade all have about the same ground clearance. I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e37AR which has a matte finish so it will blend in better with the underbody paneling on the vehicle. The hitch does hang down below the bumper a few inches but the hitch itself would not cause many ground clearance issues, only on really steep driveways would it ever have the potential to make contact. That said, you will...

  • 2021 Jeep Renegade North Trailer Hitch Fitment
    The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH83VR has only been confirmed to fit up to a 2020 Jeep Renegade which is why it isn't listed as a fit as of yet (September 2023) for your 2021 Jeep Renegade. If your 2021 North model has those 3 mounting bolt holes with the middle one a little offset to the inside then this could very well fit your vehicle, it just hasn't been confirmed yet. The other hitches that have been confirmed to fit the more recent model year, like the etrailer Trailer...

  • Availability of Aftermarket Hitch With Receiver Through Bumper on 2022 Jeep Renegade
    The only available hitches for the 2022 Jeep Renegade have the visible cross tube hanging down underneath like the etrailer # e37AR or Curt # C12142. Unfortunately, there are no aftermarket options that put the receiver through the bumper or have a concealed cross tube. They only hitch that runs through the bumper for this vehicle is the factory hitch which comes with a different bumper and has the hitch and wiring cutout.
