Today on our 2006 Jeep Commander, we'll be installing the Curt Hitch, part number 13414. Here's what the hitch looks like installed on our vehicle. Now we'll go ahead, give you a couple of measurements in helping you choose some accessories for your hitch, such as a ball mount, a bicycle rack or a cargo carrier. From the center of the hitch pin hole to the outermost edge of the bumper is approximately 3 inches. From the top of the opening in the receiver to the ground is approximately 19 inches. Now let's go ahead and install our hitch. We've already gone ahead and lowered our spare tire out of the way and set it aside for now.
First we're going to need to remove two push pin fasteners that hold the lower rear fascia in place. A large flat-head screwdriver works great for doing this. We'll go ahead and pull the center of the push pin fastener out and then the rest of the fastener will come out after. Let's go ahead and point out the four locations that we'll be using to bolt our hitch to the frame. To install our hitch, we'll actually be pushing the rear fascia outward, or toward the rear of the vehicle, to allow the hitch to slide up into place. The hitch will go up into place with the weld nuts facing the rear of the vehicle. It's a good idea to go ahead and take the bolts and run them into each of the weld nuts before you try to put it up on the vehicle to make sure there's no paint or anything else that may impede the bolt going into the threads easily.
Now that we've checked to make sure all the threads are clean, let's show you how the rest of the hardware will be used to bolt the hitch on. We'll take a bolt with a conical tooth washer, with the teeth facing towards the hitch, for each location. On some vehicles, it will require the use of these large flat washers to take up the excess space between the hitch and the vehicle's frame. In this case, we went ahead and just needed to use one washer at each location. The kit comes with enough if you would need to use two washers at each location. If you need to put these on, using some clear cellophane tape works great to help hold the washers in place while you're putting the hitch up. We'll pull outward on the rear bumper fascia and slide the hitch up into place.
We'll then go ahead and take each of the bolts with the conical tooth washers on them and slide it into place. Once we have all four bolts in, we'll tighten them down and then torque them to the manufacturer's specification. Now with our hitch torqued down, we can go ahead and put the two plastic push pin fasteners back into place that we removed earlier. Finally, we can put our spare tire back up into it's place as well. With that, that'll conclude our installation of the Curt Hitch, part number 13414, on our 2006 Jeep Commander. .

This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.Very easy installation of both the hitch snd wiring harness. Basically one 3/4” socket, zip ties, and drilling one 3/32 hole for the grounding wire. 690837

Very easy to install, 30 mins, excellent quality 494945
Went on my 2008 Jeep Commander as easy as pie. Had a harder time removing the plastic bumper clips than I did installing the hitch. The whole job took about 20 minutes. Great product and fast delivery. 489728
Quick fast and friendly 485400
This is my third receiver from etrailer.com and again a super easy install. The wiring kit for the flat plug was simple and easy as well. (Both were installed in 45 minutes despite it being my first time puzzling the removal of the tail light assemblies .) Ordering was simple, the part fit like a glove and it arrived the day they told me it would. What’s not to love? I don’t even shop around any more since they always have the best price anyway. If I need it I come here, period. 478629

Still working the way it should. Satisfied
Literally installed in 5 minutes. Sturdy, simple, and works great. 210104
The hitch and wire harness I ordered was just perfect. Was easy to install and arrived in just one day after I ordered it. Thank you for the prompt arrival. I was more than happy with your service. Rick G 161672
Great products and perfect service. I'll be back for accessories in the future. 140275
Exactly as advertised, a perfect fit. I did the installation in my driveway. I wound up removing 4 push pins instead of the 2 shown in the instructions so I could push the plastic bumper guard away from the frame enough to slide the receiver into position. I plan to buy another hitch receiver from etrailer for my son's CX-9. 135989
This took me longer to get the spare tire out of the way than to install this hitch bracket…excellent product easy for any novice to handle, it took me 15 minutes to complete. THANKS E-TRAILER!! 129098
You are welcome for the review, it was honest. After having your product for one year I have not had any issues or concerns. Everything performs as it should. I would most definitely use you again should the need arise.
Super fast! Ordered Wednesday afternoon and had hitch installed Saturday morning with wiring harness. Thanks. 79604
Excellent product and customer service. In addition to the hitch, I ordered a wiring harness, ball mount and ball. I am very satisfied with the items I received, but I want commend etrailer on thier customer service. I was contacted via e-mail to advise my order was received and that it would ship soon, and subsequent e-mails confirmed the delivery every step of the way. I highly recommend etrailer and will use them anytime/everytime I need towing items in the future. Great job! True customer service is a rarity these days - it is much appreciated. 61821
