Features to know about

Blend in While Staying Tough: Matte Black Powder Coat Finish

The matte black finish gives this hitch a rugged, factory-style look that blends right in with your vehicle’s trim. The powder-coated steel resists rust and corrosion, so it can handle road debris, salt, and weather without losing its clean finish. The non-glossy surface also hides small scuffs and scratches better than traditional hitches, keeping it looking good for the long haul.

Carry More Gear with Confidence: 2" Class III Receiver

This hitch has a 2" x 2" receiver opening, which is the standard size for most bike racks, cargo carriers, and ball mounts. Rated for a maximum gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs and a 500-lb tongue weight, it’s ready for hauling campers, small boats, or loaded utility trailers. With weight distribution, it can handle up to 7,500 lbs GTW and 750 lbs tongue weight. It’s a solid setup for both towing and hitch-mounted accessories.

Install It Yourself: Bolt-On Design and Complete Hardware Kit

No welding or drilling is required to get this hitch on your vehicle. The fully welded design bolts straight to the frame using the included hardware kit and installation instructions. Most folks can install it with basic tools in a driveway or garage. Once it’s on, you’ve got a strong foundation for towing or carrying all kinds of gear without needing any extra modifications.

The hitch looks great Charles, great job!

Great product, well built.
Installing was easy enough, once I decided to remove the spare tire. My liberty gets muddy often so the nuts needed to be tapped. The supplied bolts look too be good quality.
by:
Well made, and worked out perfectly, I make use of it often.

The product is excellent, it took a few hours due to the old holes threads were rusted,I had to rethread all 6 holes..but it's strong and sturdy now
Jobs done right.

The receiver on the hitch is too big. There is too much play between the inside of the receiver and any attachments that one may use. I had to put shims in mine to keep the attachments from moving up and down and side to side. That is a dangerous situation. I'd never buy this hitch again!

Works as intended. would be 5stars, except i needed to borrow a Highjack to separate the outter ends of the mount as they were bent in upon arrival. not enough to deterr from suggesting this to others, but was no a direct bolt and go either due to this. Works great and have had no issues during use.
by:
I ordered early afternoon and received confirmation that the order had shipped that same afternoon. I prepped the Liberty(removing the stubborn bolt and chasing all the welded nuts). The hitch arrived two days early. I removed it from the box and placed it on my motorcycle jack, rolled and lifted it into place and bolted it on. Easy!
by:
I received my order promptly and had no issues whatsoever.The trailer hitch is much more sturdy that I was expecting which was a very nice surprise.

Product and installation was great.

Looks and preforms great, had to run a tap in the existing holes because they were 10 years old & needed some attention. Overall very satisfied!!!

  • Lighting, Hitch, And Grille Guard Options For 2008 Jeep Liberty
    Hello Dave, thanks for reaching out. The Blazer Off-Road LED Light Bar # BL26VR may fit your Jeep, but this is not a custom fit product, and we have not specifically tested it on a Jeep Liberty. I can tell you the light bar is 39-11/16" long overall, so your best bet will be to compare this to the roof of your Jeep to make sure it will fit. It looks like you would have room in front of the slider roof but please confirm. As far as a frailer hitch and grille guard, we can definitely provide...

  • Will the etrailer Trailer hitch Receiver Fit a 2011 Jeep Liberty W/ A Spare
    Hey Jean good news, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e85AR will work with your 2011 Jeep Liberty with a spare. The hitch will go around the spare and not touch the tire, so it'll work great! What sort of stuff are you looking at hauling with this bad boy? Feel free to let me know in the comments and I'd be happy to get you going in the right direction.

  • What Size Bolts Are Used To Install The etrailer Receiver on a 2009 Jeep Liberty?
    The hardware with our etrailer Receiver # e85AR for your 2009 Jeep Liberty is M12-1.75 thread. We do include this size in our Metric Tap Kit # PT22FR if you do not already have it. A Brush # 814092 will also help you clean out the threads with some cleaner solvent. I recommend installing the 4-Way # C56334 in the event you need to connect to the lights on a small trailer or add Auxiliary Lights # C53201 to a hitch mounted accessory.

  • How Far Out Does etrailer Hitch Stick Out from Rear of 2012 Jeep Liberty Bumper
    Hey William, when the etrailer hitch part # e85AR is installed on your 2012 Jeep Liberty it will stick out from the rear bumper 2-1/2 inches. It definitely sticks out so you'll want to watch your shins!

  • Best Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness For a 2012 Jeep Liberty
    I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e85AR for your 2012 Jeep Liberty. This is our only receiver with the matte black powder coating that gives it a factory look since it matches the trim. It also has a 2" receiver for a wider variety of hitch mounted accessories and ball mounts. You will want to install the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118554 when you install the receiver. This will give you a 4-way flat connector that you can use with most small trailer to control the...

  • 2012 Jeep Liberty Trailer Hitch and Cargo Carrier Recommendations
    The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e85AR is a great option for your 2012 Jeep Liberty, and I recommend pairing it with the 22x60 Flint Hill Goods Cargo Carrier # FHG49ZR. I really like this carrier because it has an aluminum construction but it can still handle 500 lbs of cargo weight. This means you have a lightweight carrier that's still durable and can better withstand the elements than most other carriers on the market. I've attached a review video for you to check out.

  • 2012 Jeep Liberty Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations
    I really like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e85AR for your 2012 Jeep Liberty because of the matte black finish. I've used a few of these on my vehicles and I like how well they blend in with the vehicle trim and hide scratches from road debris. If you're in the market for a bike rack I recommend checking out the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR which is just a great, all-around bike rack that's compatible with pretty much everything on the market plus it comes with industry...

  • 2010 Jeep Liberty Trailer Hitch Receiver Recommendation
    The trailer hitch I recommend picking up for your 2010 Jeep Liberty is the etrailer Hitch # e85AR because it has a matte black finish that does a great job blending in with black trim on your vehicle, and handles scratches from road debris much better than the glossy black finish does. If you let me know what you plan on using the trailer hitch for I'll be more than happy to make an additional recommendation for you!
