Super easy install. Finished in about an hour with only a floor jack. Looks great!

Good looking and sturdy, went on in no time and what I like about it is that it’s not bulky looking, blends into the bumper.

I love the hitch. The only problem I had was installing it with one hand. I cut off my left hand about five years ago in a accident . But I did it by myself. Thanks



by:

Arrived on time. Awesome fit very easy to Install.and high-quality products. Very happy and pleased.



by:

Excellent product perfect fit. Fast shipping as well! Etrailer is a great resource for a multitude of products.



by:

Well made and quickly shipped. Hardware was included, perfect fit with existing frame holes. Replacement for a rusted away hitch, this one has the receiver tube extending farther out from under the step bumper, more convenient, much easier to get to the pin than before.



by:

I ordered a hitch for my farm work truck. It was shipped on time, is of excellent quality, and came with all the necessary hardware. I highly recommend etrailer.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Other Parts to Tow a Trailer with a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    I'm not sure which hitch receiver you're asking about but there are three that fit your 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee. We have a Curt Class III, part # 13051, the Draw-Tite, part # 75139 for a Class III or the etrailer # e92AR which is also a class III. The crossmember is visible on all of them. I've linked videos of these hitches being installed for you to take a look at. If you're going to be towing a trailer with your WJ you also need trailer wiring. If you have the factory tow package...

  • Installing an Aftermarket Hitch on a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee for Jeep Recall
    Jeep issued a recall on certain models of the Grand Cherokee and Liberty due to the issue of an exposed gas tank. Basically, the gas tank is exposed at the rear of the Jeep with very little protection and there have been reports of the gas tank exploding during rear end collisions. Jeep (Chrysler) are recommending a trailer hitch be installed to protect the gas tank in a rear end collision or rear end impact. From what we understand, the OEM hitch is bigger and bulkier than the aftermarket...

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch # 13051 Fit a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo
    The Curt Trailer Hitch, # 13051, will fit the 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. The only tech tip note I have is that the tow hooks, if present, will need to be removed for hitch installation. I have included a link to the installation instructions for reference. A front mount trailer hitch should not be used to flat tow the vehicle behind an RV. As you have stated, the hitch is not designed for this purpose. Instead, you would need to install base plates and use a tow bar to flat tow the...

  • Trailer Hitch that Mounts Below Bumper on a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    Yes, Curt trailer hitch # 13051 mounts below the rear bumper fascia on your 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I have linked a video showing an example installation of this hitch for you. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If the ball mount kit does...

  • Is There A Factory Type Hitch For My 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
    The only hitches we have available for your 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee are going to be visible below your bumper. Both the Draw-Tite # 75139 and the Curt # 13051. I've included an installation video of both and a picture to give you an idea of what it's going to look like. It kind of blends in with the rear bumper so it isn't blatantly obvious in my opinion. Of the two, I like the Draw-Tite because of the square tube construction.

  • Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    Does the Jeep already have a hitch? If not, I recommend the Curt, part # 13051, that fits the 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I prefer the Curt hitches because they seem to have a thicker powder coat finish than the others. If you need wiring, I'd go with the Curt T-Connector # C55369, it is the correct one for you. Once you have the hitch you need to measure to determine which ball mount you need. I've linked an article to help you make the measurements and I've also linked our selection of...

  • Does Skid Shield Need to be Removed to Install Curt Hitch on 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo
    According to the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13051 instructions you may or may not need to use the spacers, but the skid shield does not need to be removed or modified. Hopefully this helps you out. If you're still having troubles please shoot me some photos of your situation so I can help you look into this further.

  • Why Different Amount of Bolt Holes between Curt and Draw Tite Hitch for 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    Curt and Draw Tite are both separate companies who took different approaches to fitting a hitch to your 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The # 75139 and the # 13051 are both a confirmed fit but they use a different amount of bolt holes when attaching to the vehicle. Either one will work well for you. I attached an install video for the Curt for you to check out as well.

  • Trailer Hitch and 7-Way Wiring Connector Installation on a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    The hitch that you referenced the Curt # 13051, is indeed a class III hitch that is confirmed as a fit for your 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I have included a video of this installation for your reference. Since your Cherokee does not have any existing wiring harness you are again correct that there are several plug in applications that will establish a 4-way trailer wiring harness for your vehicle. To install a fully functional 7-way connector for your Jeep you will have to start by establishing...

  • Can Hitch Be Altered to Fit 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    According to Reese, their obsolete # 37042 multi-fit hitch wasn't a fit for the 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. They do not under any circumstances recommend modifying or altering the hitch to fit because doing so would have an unforeseen effect on its weight bearing capacity. Using a hitch with an unknown capacity could lead to a dangerous situation. I'd highly recommend going with a hitch that's custom designed for your Grand Cherokee like the Curt Class III hitch, part # 13051. If you need...

  • Trailer Wiring Mounting Box for a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Curt Trailer Hitch 13051
    If your 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee has a 4-way flat trailer connector then for a mounting brackets there are a few options. You could start with # 18144 to hold the 4-Way and then attach it to either short bracket # 18140 or long bracket # 18136 which attaches to the hitch. If you need to mount a 7-Way I recommend bracket # PK12711U again with short bracket # 18140 or long bracket # C57202. If you need to add a wiring harness there are several options depending on how your Jeep is equipped...

  • Recommended Hitch and Wiring for 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    The Curt # C13900 is a multi-fit hitch that is designed to fit on a variety of vehicles, but it would require some modification and drilling to install. Instead, I recommend using the Curt # 13051, which is a confirmed fit on your 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and will install without any drilling or modifications. If you're going to be towing with this hitch and don't have the towing package, you can use the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C55369...

  • Recommended Hitch Size for a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    Both 2 inch and 1-1/4 inch hitches are available for the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee, but I would recommend going with a hitch with the 2 inch opening. This would give you the most common hitch size, so you would have more choices available when it comes to hitch accessories. The CURT 2 Inch Hitch # 13051 would be a good choice for your vehicle. You can view the installation instructions as well as a video of the hitch being installed on a 1999 Grand Cherokee at the provided links. To wire...

The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the edge of the bumper is 6 inches. You may want to check out the Thule Hitching Post Pro, part # TH934XTR. It measures 13-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the upright bar of the carrier. I have attached an installation video of this carrier on a 2011 Grand Cherokee...

  • Increasing Fuel Tank Protection on 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    Chrysler's solution to increasing the protection of the fuel tank on the Jeep Grand Cherokee was to install a trailer hitch. I have included a link to all of the hitch receivers available for your 2001. My personal recommendation is to go with a Class III hitch like the Curt, # 13051. A Class III hitch not only gives you the added towing capacity but by having the 2" opening you increase your options when it comes to hitch mounted accessories.

  • Installation of Curt Trailer Hitch # 13051 on 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13051 will not require removing any parts of your OEM crossbar or frame. It will simply have you remove some hardware for the tank shield and then clean out a weldnut that will be utilized. The tank shield will remain in place. You may need to use some spray lubricant and a brush like # 814092 to clean the weld nut to ensure proper fit prior to installing your hitch.

  • Options for Carrying Two Bikes with 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    There are two options for carrying bikes on the rear of your 2003 Grand Cherokee, a trunk mount and a hitch mounted option. The trunk mount would attach to the liftgate of the vehicle. Of the various trunk mounted options that are available for your Grand Cherokee (see link), I would recommend the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV. While most trunk mounted bike racks use 6 straps that need to be adjusted each time the rack is installed or removed, the OutWay uses only 2 rubber coated straps...

  • Curt Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    I have a solution for your, but the # C13048 that you referenced has not been confirmed as a fit for your 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I checked with Curt, the manufacturer, to confirm this. Instead you would want the Curt hitch part # 13051 as it has been confirmed as a fit.
