Features to know about

Effortless Installation: No Welding Required, Bolt-On System

Forget about complex installations that require specialized tools or welding. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver offers a bolt-on installation system that connects directly to your vehicle’s frame. Just use a 21mm socket to tighten the four included bolts and you're all set in about 15 minutes.

Tough as Nails: Powder Coated Steel for Durability

This hitch is built from sturdy, powder-coated steel which makes it not only strong, but also corrosion-resistant. Its robust construction means it can withstand the elements, ensuring a long-lasting, dependable towing solution for any task.

Impressive Towing Capacity: Up to 7,500 lbs with Weight Distribution

For those heavy loads, this hitch is ready. It holds a Class III rating with a maximum gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs, but when coupled with a weight distribution hitch, you can take it up to a whopping 7,500 lbs. That's perfect for trailers, boats, or larger cargo your adventures demand.

Sleek and Stealthy: Concealed Cross Tube Design

Worried about eyesores on your sleek ride? Don't be. The Curt Trailer Hitch has a concealed cross tube design, meaning only the hitch receiver is visible. This gives your vehicle a cleaner, almost factory-installed look without sacrificing functionality.

Versatile Compatibility: Fits Multiple Jeep Grand Cherokee Models

Own a Grand Cherokee? This hitch is a perfect fit for various models, including 2011 to 2021 versions. It accommodates different trims like the Limited X and Altitude, even working around dual exhaust systems. It’s a universal fitting solution designed for a seamless match with your Jeep.

Enhanced Rust Resistance: Gloss Black Powder Coat Finish

Aesthetics meet practicality with the gloss black powder coat finish over a protective base. This not only complements your vehicle’s design but also provides enhanced rust resistance, ensuring your hitch remains as polished and functional as the day you installed it.

What a pleasure to have a product arrive on time and go together just as promised. Our installation was less than10 minutes, all the parts enclosed, no modifications, and we were done! The complete follow up on my small order by the e trailer team was an even more pleasant surprise. Thank you, Ed

Easy to order and very simple to install. The power torque is a must, I was hoping my husband & I could install but those bolts were too tight. Looks great on my vehicle and now my dogs can utilize the Otto Step inserted into the hitch to jump into the back. Thanks!

Workking with etrailer was a great experience. The hitch arrived in two days, which really surprised me, as shipping was free. The in the box instructions combined with the online videos made for a very quick installation. I was expecting to have a few glitches with the installation, but there weren't any. I literally got the hitch bolted on in 15 minutes and then spend another 20 minutes with the wiring.

I read many comments about the wiring not being long enough, but there was more than enough with mine. A very easy process.

Five years ago I had a hitch installed by a well-known moving supply company; the total cost was double what I paid on this one. Never again. I will always use etrailer going forward.

Ordered this particular hitch for my '11 GC because the reviews were good and I wanted one that would be relatively subtle in appearance. It definitely met my expectations - it seems very well built and the only exposed portion is the receiver - everything else sits up behind the rear facia. Installation was incrediably easy too. I added an OEM receiver cover and it looks very clean - almost as if it came from the factory - except I have a full bumper! Included are a few pic's exhibiting what it looks like installed.

My husband is legally blind and was able to install this without any help! He said we should have bought this a long time ago now that he realized how simple it was to install. Of course, I will need to help him install the wiring kit, but I don’t foresee that being an issue! Thanks etrailer for the fantastic How To videos!

    This bracket fits a very specific type of 7 and 4-way so I'd have to see what your OEM plug looks like. Does it look like the picture I attached?

  • 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation
    When installing the Curt 7-way harness part # C55774, which is a fit for your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, you actually want to attach the mounting bracket to the rear bumper of your vehicle and not to the hitch. Drilling into a hitch tube actually voids the warranty. The Curt hitch part # C13065 is a fit for your vehicle as well and would be a great hitch solution.

  • Does the Curt Hitch C13065 Fit the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited X?
    Yes, it will. The Curt Hitch item # C13065 is confirmed to fit the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited X. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Jeep with included hardware.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    The best hitch for your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited is going to be the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C13065. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Jeep with included hardware. I really like this hitch because the crosstube mounts behind your bumper and is completely concealed. This leaves only the 2" receiver visible which not only offers a better look but also helps with ground clearance. The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C13065 is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 5,000...

  • Comparing Curt 13065 and 13182 Trailer Hitches for 2013 and 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel Models
    The big difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13182 (confirmed to fit your 2013 and 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel models) and # C13065 is that the crossbar for the latter runs in a straight line whereas it has more of a rounded shape for the 13182. When I spoke with my contact at Curt he said that the exhaust is in the way for the 13065 and that he believes the gas tank was in the way as well. Since the 13182 has a different design it will fit your vehicles. So even...

    I have great news for you! You can install a hitch receiver on a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK. We also carry hitches that are compatible with that model. For a great hitch for a WK model of 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Class III - 2" # C13065.

  • 2018 Grand Cherokee Curt Trailer Hitch Comparison
    The square tube part # C13065 will be more hidden as it's cross-tube is up higher and the only thing that hangs down and is visible is just the hitch opening. I attached a picture that shows this hitch installed and you can see what I mean. The part # C13182 would have the cross tube visible so it wouldn't be my first choice if you were looking for as hidden of a hitch as possible.

  • Best Hidden Trailer Hitch Between Draw-Tite and Curt for 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee With Gas Engine
    So of the hitches you mentioned, the Draw-Tite # 75713 does not fit a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a gas engine, and the Curt # C13182 does not have a concealed crosstube so it would not be a good option for aesthetics as it would be totally visible (I did confirm this has a 6,000 lb towing/600 lb tongue weight). I do have two much better options for your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a gas engine I recommend checking out: - Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75699 - Curt Trailer Hitch...

    While the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13065 you were looking at for your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee may work with your 20' Airstream Trailer with a GVWR and unloaded hitch weight of 565lbs, you would need a weight distribution hitch just to tow the trailer unloaded as the 565lb tongue weight exceeds the standard 500lb tongue weight rating of the hitch. Instead I recommend going with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class IV- 2" # DT38MR which is also confirmed...

  • What is a Concealed Cross Tube Trailer Hitch
    What that means is that the cross section of the hitch that runs side to side is completely out of sight once it's installed onto the vehicle.

For a hitch that isn't a hidden cross tube, like part # C13182, you can see more of the hitch under the rear bumper like in the second picture.

For a no-drill application, you can add either a short bracket # 18140 or a long bracket # 18136. I have attached some videos of these products to help you choose the parts that you need.

It will provide you with a 4-flat connector. The second harness you will need is the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller item # ETBC7 or item # ETBC7L if you plan...

The # C13065 may be used with a weight distribution hitch as well, which can increase the towing capacity. It also has a concealed cross tube, so only the receiver tube will be visible.

    The main difference between the Curt # C13065 and the Curt # C13182, which is also a confirmed fit on the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee, is the shape of the cross-tube. The Curt # C13065 has a square cross-tube, where the # C13182 has a round crosstube; which just creates a little different look on the back but no real functional difference. If you're not going to be using a weight distribution hitch, you're likely best served going with the # C13182 since it would allow you to maximize the...

  • Why Is a Trailer Hitch for a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Rated Higher If Used with Weight Distribution
    For starters, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13065 is not a confirmed fit for a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The correct Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver for this vehicle is part # C13182. However, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75699 because of its hidden design (see photo). The reason that a trailer hitch can be rated for more weight when used with a weight distribution system is because this system will take some of the tongue weight off of the trailer...

  • Proper Hitch Number for a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    Hitches are custom-designed for every vehicle based on the vehicle frames. Some years, the new model of a car line aren't very different and the previous year's hitch will still work. Other years, there's a significant enough change to the vehicle line that makes it so that hitch will no longer work, and a new design must be made. The Curt # C13065 does not fit Grand Cherokees later than 2017. If you're looking for a similar hitch that will fit your 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee, I recommend...

So this hitch will fit with or without the tow hooks present on the vehicle. I have also included a link to a video showing a typical installation.
