This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.Just wanted to let you know the hitch was great!!
Easy to install, although I realized I couldn't do it. Crawling under the car right now with a hip and shoulder issue was just in my game plan, so I had a friend do it. (He also had a real lift) Quick and easy and looks great.
One of the best features is that it does NOT protrude from the body. As someone who has walked close behind another vehicle with a hitch that sticks out, that is quite important to me.
Here's a pic of my installed hitch on my 2016 Jeep Cherokee Limited. The fascia wasn't exactly like pictured in your video but that was just cosmetic.
Install is super easy. I did it in my drive way on car ramps took me about two hrs but I was taking my time and you can definitely do it faster. I haven’t used it yet but seems very strong and super heavy. I did the install myself but having a second person just to help you get it in place would help. I installed on a 2017 Jeep Cherokee. The video was super helpful. 6 bolts and done. Also the feed wires worked amazing. The shipping was free and still made it here in two day even tho is was five day shipping. Haven’t used it yet but very happy so far.
After reviewing the video there were no surprises. I used a pair of "Rino" ramps on my driveway and was done in about an hour. Cutting the fascia was the most nerve racking part. Used a sharp utility knife and it turned out great. Lifting it into place was accomplished with the help of my wife. I left the fish wires all attached to play it safe and it all worked well. Torquing the side nuts took some effort since I only had so much room to position myself with the ramps. AS I stated in the review of the T connector harness your resources and knowledge made it a easy choice to buy from etrailer.

What I really liked about buying from etrailer, was the fact that I could view an installation video for my exact make, model and year vehicle. Because of that, the installation went off without a hitch (well, actually, there was a hitch involved, but you know what I mean). It ended up being a great daddy-daughter project too! I've used it at least a dozen times in the last year to haul building materials from the local hardware store, and it works like a champ.
Jeff A - 02/11/2019The Curt product is of high quality and fit perfectly. I would purchase it again. However, I rated it a 3 due to the instructions. They were totally wrong and did not help, except with the fascia cutting. Fortunately this is the 4th such hitch I've installed on a personal vehicle. I have added pictures to assist others with this at the instructions provided are for mounting the hitch are worthless.
Photo #1: These are the instructions I received. FYI-They-re not any help.
Photo #2 & #3: Install the bolt that is closest to the bumper (Back of the car) on both sides.
a) Insert the fishing wire in the round hole and pull the coiled in down through the square hole in the car frame.
b) Put the end through the metal mounting plate with the square hole supplied with the hitch (There are 6 of them).
c) Thread the bolt to the fishing wire.
d) Gently pull on the wire while sliding the mounting plat through the square hole, then the bolt.
e. Keep pulling until the bold passes through the mounting plate and extends through the round hole in the frame.
Do this in both sides.
Lift the hitch into place and align it so the bolt passes through the rear most mounting hole. Be careful to only tighten the included nut about 1 1/2 turns. The hitch should be lightly secured and when the hitch receiver is raised, you should have access to the square hole in the frame to insert the next bolt.
Photo #4 & #5: This is slightly tricky. You need to push the fishing wire through the hitch hole on the upturned hitch flange, then into the round frame hole. You will need to raise the hitch receiver to gain access tho the square frame hole. BE CAREFUL. There is not much space for your fingers. Put your index finger between the hitch and the square frame hole. While pushing the fishing wire in, feel for the coiled end and guide it through the square frame hole. The put a mounting plate on the coiled wire end the screw on a bolt. Gently slide the mounting plate through the square frame hole then attache the bolt to the wire. Pull the bolt into the frame, but DO NOT pull the bolt through the second hole round hole used to secure the hitch. (You have to do this so you can still tilt the hitch back and fort. If you insert the bot through the frame and hitch, you'll lose the necessary play to insert the final two bolts. Repeat on the other side.
Photo #6: This one different. The final two bolts that will go into the square frame hole need to be inserted first. Push the coiled end of the fishing wire through the hole in the hitch and to the side. Slide on the mounting plate then thread on the bolt. Now push the bolt into the square frame hole and then the mounting plate. Lift the hitch and pull the bolt down into the hitch and lightly tighten the nut onto the bolt.
Photo #7: You will now push the hitch up and pull the bolt you previously did not pull through. You may need to wiggle the hitch a little as you pull on the fishing wire to get the last bolts in. This is a finesse move so be patient.
Photo #8: Tighten all lower bolts then the top two, one on each side and you're done. I hope the explanation and photos help.
Hello,I receive the product, but the is no hardware. Is hardware extra? [online] showed installation with hardware package.
Jenny N - 06/20/2022I installed this on my 2018 Jeep Cherokee Latitude. The install is pretty straight forward. If you have a V6 with twin exhaust tips they will have to be removed. It will be primary used with our Thule bike rack in the summer and as a recovery point in the winter. The build quality looks great and I highly recommend it.
This is a great trailer hitch receiver. I really like it.
Michael - 04/11/2022Love the hitch. Very nice look and durable. Fun project to take on and not too difficult. Would definitely recommend having someone help when lifting the hitch up into place and getting the bolts through. Was a little concerned about cutting the rear fascia on my jeep but just took my time and it turned out perfect.
Didn't have one of the holes cut out. Got my car all apart, for the install and the holes didn't line up. Took it back out and one of the holes isn't finished. Pretty shitty quality control guys.
Jenny N - 04/02/20222018 Jeep Cherokee hitch. Installed the hitch finally, singlehanded. Attached photo is setup used to balance hitch on floor jack slide under vehicle and lift into position without second person. 2x4 is 34 inches long and secured with tiewraps to hitch and tube brace.
2016 video was better for my instance.
Great product. Was able to install in about 1.5 hours with two of us doing the install together. Followed the online installation video as well as printed instructions that came with the hitch. Fishwires were super helpful.
Great product. I bought the 2014 Cherokee tow hitch and wiring harness. Received shipment in a reasonable amount of time and at a great price. In good condition and came with user friendly instuctions. Looks and works great! I would recommend this to other users.
This Curt Class III hitch is confirmed for all the 2014 Jeep Cherokee Models, including Sport, Latitude, Trailhawk, and Limited. So this would work out great for your Latitude. As indicated in the installation instructions (linked above on the right hand side of the page) there is some fascia trimming involved for installing this hitch.
-- Rachael H - 9/25/2014We show how our installers trimmed the fascia on a very similar vehicle in the install video that I have linked for you. You can fast forward to the about the 4 minute and 40 second mark. The amount trimmed on your vehicle might be slightly different, but the process is the same.
-- Rachael H - 5/5/2015We do not have any additional pictures for Andrew's installation. But if you check out the video I have linked you can see the installation process.
-- Rachael H - 5/5/2015Delivery was faster than expected. Ordered late Saturday; out for delivery on Wednesday. E Trailer install video was spot on. Fit was tight and only needed mild persuasion around dirt under car. Bottom line: order from e trailer - watch video several times - admire your work.
Easy install. Just as advertised except for reinstalling the exhaust tips. Had to cut and bring the corners as they would hit the receiver. That was not mentioned in the video. Other than that, perfect.
Tracy Z - 11/09/2021Bolted right up. Instructions & video helped tremendously. Only issue, had to do some minor cutting on the chrome exhaust tips to put them back on my Cherokee. Took a little longer than I expected.
I was really happy with my trailer hitch. Unfortunately, on September 1,2021; Hurricane Ida destroyed my house and washed my Jeep away.
I used it once. Pulled [rental] trailer 1800 miles on move. No problem.. No stress. No worry. If I move back, will use again without a second thought. Worked perfectly.
Jon A - 01/09/2022WOW, you guys are great. The delivery was right on time. The product is excellent and so was the service.
Very impressive all together.
I also have to thank UHaul for recommending you.
I needed the hitch fast and UHaul was right, you are fast.
Thank you again
I’m not a pro at this so it took a bit longer then the instructions stated. I don’t think I did bad for someone in the medical field. It fit great. Looks great! Only got hit in the head by the muffler once. Oh, the fish wires are a pain to keep untangled, couldn’t do without them.
One year later and no issues. Great quality, very sturdy and looks very nice. Difficult to install with just one person so please try to get someone to help, but I managed it alone. Pre-read the instructions and follow them exactly.
This was a great alternative to having the hitch installed by my local Jeep dealership. They were wanting to charge me $1100 for hardware and installation. I was able to order the hitch and wiring kit and have it installed by a local auto body shop for a little over $300, so I saved about $500 on it. It was a great buy and it was easy to find what I needed. I really liked this hitch because most of the hardware is concealed by the bumper, where some other models have much more of the crossbar visible from the back below the bumper.
The installation process was exactly as indicated in your video. My son and I installed the hitch on his 2014 Jeep Cherokee in a couple of hours. It probably could have been installed in less time but simply wanted to be "labor" and allowed him to call the shots. It was a rewarding project for both of us.
Attached this bad boy to my jeep and then towed my motorcycle across the continent. It has been completely reliable and functions perfectly. Only warning would be….Make sure you also get the electric to go with the hitch before you do the install. It doesn’t come with it.
I was a bit concerned at the beginning on whether or not I could successfully install a hitch on my new Jeep Cherokee. When I saw the installation video you offered there didn't seem to be anything that would prevent me from installing it. I was right !
The hitch actually arrived a day earlier than expected, late in the week and by that weekend I had it installed. The video, ( which YES I watched several times before beginning ) explained exactly what to expect. Your video indicated it was the closet thing to a factory install. That is exactly what I found. Because it was my first time installing a hitch it took me and a friend just under two hours. The results were definitely worth it. Thanks for the great product and all the additional assistance.
