More Ways to Haul Gear: Class III Strength with a 2" Receiver

With a 5,000 lbs maximum gross trailer weight and 500 lbs tongue weight capacity, this Curt Class III hitch receiver is built to handle a wide range of towing and cargo needs. The 2" x 2" opening makes it compatible with most bike racks, ball mounts, and cargo carriers, so you can haul what you need without worrying about fit. When used with weight distribution, it steps up to 6,000 lbs GTW and 600 lbs tongue weight for added stability when towing heavier loads.

Easier Install at Home: Bolt-On Design with Included Hardware

You don’t need special tools or welding skills to mount this hitch. The fully welded design bolts right onto the frame using the supplied hardware kit and clearly written instructions. The precision, robotic welding ensures that the hitch lines up cleanly for a straightforward install in your driveway or garage. A bolt leader/fish wire is even included to help feed bolts through the frame’s access holes.

Built to Last: Sturdy Steel with Corrosion-Resistant Finish

The square-tube body is made from strong, fully welded steel and finished with a gloss black powder coat over a protective base layer for long-term rust resistance. That layered coating helps protect against road grime, salt, and moisture while keeping the hitch looking sharp after years of use. It’s designed to stay solid under load and maintain its clean appearance through all kinds of weather.

Ready for Everyday Use: Balanced Utility and Strength

Whether you’re mounting a cargo tray for extra gear, setting up a small camper, or adding a bike carrier for weekend rides, this hitch is built for repeat use. Its concealed cross tube keeps the look tidy while delivering dependable towing performance every time you load up.

I have put this hitch through heck and back for the past 4 years and it's performed flawlessly. The Curt name is something to respect in the industry. The powder coating has survived harsh on and off road conditions and has been put through its paces with me. The first name I turn to for towing hardware is Curt.

This is my 3rd hitch from etrailer and another great transaction & install. Easily saves 2-3 times of what it would cost to have it done at a shop. The first 2 hitches were installed on newer vehicles, but this recent hitch was installed on a 1997 Jeep Cherokee. The online videos are a lifesaver! The weld nuts on the old Jeep were rusted really bad, but in the video they explain the best way to clean them out and it works. Their wiring kits are fool-proof & super easy to install. I'll continue to use etrailer for all my towing needs.

Hitch has been rock solid for a year now

by: David 02/28/2023

I gave it a 3 because it did not fit as well as the video showed on my 1999 Jeep Cherokee XJ, the bolt holes on both sides did not match up exact, had to use a small sledge hammer to bang in past rear bumper, it was a really tight fit. I will need to drill or bore out the other bolt holes to get the remainder of the three bolts in. See photos below. Overall I happy with it. Built sturdy. I would still recommend this hitch, not all XJs’ are built equal.

It’s been a year, hard to believe time is flying. The hitch works great, used it quite a bit last year towing, no issues, even though I have a bolt not lining up, but that’s the XJ, not the hitch. I would definitely recommend this hitch from etrailer.

@DavidG If you're towing with that hitch, you really should get that bolt installed if you haven't already. Here's a link to an article that shows several ways to get the hitch tweaked back into shape...

I'm very happy with this hitch. Shipping was quick, price was great, and the hitch was easy to install by myself. I watched the installation video and followed the process. I was most impressed that the holes on the hitch matched exactly with the holes in my car's frame and the process to pull bolts through the frame worked perfectly. Ready to go fishing??

Hitch is great 1 year later. No rust or loose parts.

by: Kirt 07/11/2022 One Year Later

So I am late posting this review because the Cherokee I purchased the hitch as a replacement for was totaled before I had a chance to install it. It was to be an upgrade for a lightweight hitch that was needing replacement. So the hitch hung around until I finally installed it on our only Cherokee that had never been used for towing. So this vehicle has never had a receiver installed before. It is bone stock, no pans or shields and never hit in the rear. Yet, the hitch didn't fit. The side plates were too long and didn't clear the bumper. We had 3 other Cherokees all with hitches so I know the bumper can be cleared. This bumper was in the proper factory position and not bent. I had to notch the bumper on both sides with an angle grinder to allow the hitch to line up with the mounting holes in the frame. As long as Cherokees have been around, you would think the hitch design and welding would be built to fit without cutting the vehicle. The other brand hitches fit fine on our other vehicles.

The other issue was the instructions. They were backward compaired to how a Cherokee XJ is built. I know it is a minor issue. And anyone that couldn't figure out the proper install despite the backward sheet is not skilled enough to install a hitch anyway. My issue with it is this. As much as you pay for the product, and the instructions are backward? It makes me question if attention to detail and quality is not in the small stuff, how good is the rest?
On the brighter side, the hardware kit was easy to use and the wire to pull the bolts and washers into the frame worked very well. Even though the instructions showed the wrong locations for the factory nut strip. It was the first time I have installed a receiver on a Jeep that didn't already have the nut strip (on both sides). Cherokees with only a tailpipe hanger but no tank shield or receiver only have the nut strip on the passanger side. The instructions show the strip and hardware to be on the driver side.

Also, this hitch is very heavy and I didn't have a helper that day, so I rested one side on a jack stand while I got the hardware started on the other side. No problem. And where the bumper had to be notched, you can only see it from underneath. But I used a skirt of spray bed liner to prevent rust to the bumper. Mopar Rust Penetrant MS-3613 a few days ahead of time helps to get the tailpipe free from the hanger bracket and make room to get a tool on the nut strip bolt.

by: Brendan H 02/21/2016

The product is constructed for heavy duty long life. The welds are perfect with attention to detail. I purchased the Curt brand because of the added weight rating and tongue weight rating. I had a problem with a weld nut on the passenger side and Rebecca in customer service was outstanding with her support! George and Rebecca shipped out additional parts to me right away and provided me with a video on how to work around the problem. I have nothing bad to say about my experience. This is the second hitch that I have purchased from eteailer and I will be getting a third for our Volvo XC real soon. Even with the weld nut issue if you have an air compressor and impact sockets you can install the hitch in under an hour. I did not have an extra set of hands, I am disabled so I built a rack out of scrap 2x4's and plywood and used my floor jack to raise the hitch and hold it into place.

hitch was great went right up and all was nice fit just don't take off the bumpier the hitch hides the nuts and make it even harder to get off and on same with the front hitch and you can't put the bottom piece on but of then that it went right up the times they have are after you take the bolts and nuts off and clean it all then you can put them in at that time I broke two in the front and one in the back I had to weld a nut on to them to get them out

P.S. the wiring harness is a must have very clean instill with it no cut wires I love that

by: Troy G. 03/14/2011

not to wait for a second set of hands to help me install it. I don't have access to a lift, so I just back the Jeep up onto a set of ramps, which gave me plenty of room to work. The bolt leader made the install go pretty smoothly and I just supported the hitch on a set of jack stands. Easy enough to line up the bolts. 40 minute install time might be a little misleading... I'd say give yourself a good 90 minutes just in case you run into any snags.
Watching the install video was very helpful as well.
I also purchased the wiring harness and that was also an easy install.
Great product... fast shipping... fairly simple install... one happy customer. THANKS!

1999 Jeep Cherokee

Very well made. Good Hardware. Fit was good. Online instructions were a plus. But installation needs two people. I installed it myself laying on my back but it was heavy and awkward to lift and align and I needed a set of extra hands several times. I am 6'4 and 250 lbs...yet had difficulty. A smaller person cannot install this hitch them self without help.
The hardest part was replacing the original Jeep nut straps inside the frame rails. The originals were badly corroded resulting in the welds of the nuts breaking allowing the bolts to turn and not allowing removal. As a result I had to remove the rear valance, rear bumper and bumper mounting brackets and access the nut straps from the rear of the frame rails. They can be a considerable challenge to remove. After cutting / grinding off the frozen bolts from the bottom...the original nut straps were removed and new straps were ordered. It was no fault of the trailer hitch that the mounting nut rails were so corroded...but it was the most difficult, time consuming hitch installation I have ever done. Not counting the time necessary to order the replacement nut straps...actual installation took over six hours....so be forewarned. Had my 99 XJ not been so rusty and had the original nut straps been in good condition...the installation could have been done in a an hour. Inspect your Jeep before installation and be sure to have replacement nut straps on hand if the originals are rusty, damaged or missing. I first tried to repair and re-thread the original nut straps...but they were too badly damaged.
Just order replacements.
The nut straps are called "Sill Reinforcement Brackets" and the part numbers are left side : #52001175, right side : #52001174. They are present in many XJ Cherokees from the factory from 1984-2001. But some Jeeps may not have them depending on original options. They were about $22 each and well worth the additional cost. Installation of the hitch without them would have been 10x more difficult.

Hitch has been bulletproof. Have received a number of compliments on how solid the hitch looks. Only problem is related to the design of the Jeep Cherokee and not the hitch itself. But to do any service to the fuel pump or the anti drain back valve on top of the fuel tank...the tank has to be removed from the vehicle. This requires that the hitch must first be removed...and as pointed out previously...reinstalling the hitch is a two man job. If the design of the hitch would allow fuel tank removal without removing the hitch first....I would give the hitch a perfect score.

Just a heads up for you, the installation hardware for the hitch is designed to be torqued once. If you need to remove the hitch and reinstall it, it's recommended that new hardware be obtained. You can get replacement hardware by using part # RHK. On the product page, input the part number of the hitch 13084 into the provided field and select 'Curt' from the drop down menu.

by: Steve F. 07/19/2015

Ordered the hitch and wiring on Friday at lunch and it was on my porch Tuesday at 2:00 pm.
My suggestions are as follows and may reflect others comments.
I regard the following tools as mandatory: an 18mm six point socket for the tailpipe bracket support with an 18 to 24 inch breaker bar, a 12mm x 1.75 tap and 2 good safety stands minimum. Safety glasses too, and remember to chock the front wheels.
The first thing to attack is the bracket. Prior to this chase 1 or 2 of the right hand holes with the tap and some cutting oil if you have it. Use one of the bolts in the kit to hold the nut plate in the frame tube in place. Go after the bracket bolt directly from the rear of the vehicle. If you decide to loosen the front bracket bolt it may be easier to remove the right rear wheel to get better access to it. After bolt removal chase the remaining involved holes with the tap. On the left side use a die grinder or round file
to extend the 2nd hole from the rear about 3/16 to 1/4 forward to give space for pulling the block forward far enough for the carriage bolt head to feed in from the rear due the the back rail
extending upward and limiting access. Place your blocks and carriage bolts, figure out a way to get the hitch up against the frame and use 2 nuts on adjacent holes to hold up the left side.
Go to the right side and put in the 4 bolts loosely. The 2 bolts placed close together on the left give a greater amount of wiggle room to locate the right. Place all nuts and washers on the left side, check placement of hitch and tighten down. If happy, torque them all down and you're good to go.
It will take longer then 30 minutes.

I bought the #13084 curt hitch for my 96 jeep. Etrailer expedited the shipping at no extra charge and the part was on my doorstep in Virginia 5 days after the I placed the order. I had the hitch installed in an hour after I started. My wife predicted i would be cussing out in the garage like i usually do but i was proud to prove her wrong (this time) :) I used 2 jack stands to hold the hitch in place while i started the nuts on the bolts. Worked like a champ. Also the video was very helpful in showing the steps using the fishwire to install the carriage bolts. I got my christmas present and the next step is the boat for my birthday . Definitely will recommend etrailer to my friends.

Trailer Wiring Mounting Bracket for Curt Hitch for 1992 Jeep Cherokee
Hey Ralph, for all of the hitches we offer for your 1992 Jeep Cherokee including the Curt # 13084 there isn't an option that has a trailer wiring mounting bracket built in BUT we can still help.

Troubleshooting Difficult to Thread in Hitch Install Bolts
Trailer frame weld nuts notoriously end up with rust in them which makes installing hitch hardware pretty difficult. Often times it seems like the solution is to use smaller hitch hardware but the real solution is to clean out the weld nuts so that the hardware can fit like it needs to. I have included a few links on hitch installation tips, cleaning weld nuts, and a video on cleaning weld nuts for you. Typically the most efficient solution is to get a thread tap to clean the weld nuts.

Differences Between Curt Hitches 13084 and 13160 for a 1999 Jeep Cherokee
The install for the two hitches you mentioned are going to be the exact same. The difference is that the # 13084 has a square cross tube and the part # 13160 uses a round cross tube. It's purely an aesthetic thing. Some people prefer the look of one over the other. Since the square tube hitch # 13084 costs less it would be what I would go with.

Thank you for providing the photo of the underside of the frame rail on your 1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport.
