This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.Ordered this for my 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. Installation was simple. Per the instructional video I removed the 4 bolts from the rear frame area of the Jeep, laid out some cardboard to protect the coating on the hitch and my back from the concrete. Lifted into place and secured the bolts. I did this myself, though a second set of hands would have been nice for the initial bolt placement. I towed a small trailer with Kayaks twice last week and all is good! Though it's not integrated into the bumper like the factory hitch, it still looks good and is a lot less expensive. Don't forget the trailer wiring like I did.
Dale T - 07/11/2021My fiancé installed the hitch at home. 4 bolts and the job was done. No lift necessary. I’ve already got my bike rack attached. Love it!
Sandra - 05/04/2021This was the easiest trailer hitch install! Built strong and all around a great experience. I’m using it to pull a 17 ft travel trailer. Will definitely be ordering from etrailer for any of my future towing needs.

Very well made hitch. I was also pleased with the delivery process and customer service provided. I use it primarily for our mountain bike rack and it works great. I haven’t added the wiring harness package as yet as I have a Suburban with that ability that I use when pulling our hauling trailer.
Went to the dealership and they wanted $800 to activate the tow lights and another $400 for the trailer hitch receiver installed, for a grand total of $1,200! Purchased the Curt Trailer Hitch receiver for less than $120. Took half an hour to install the receiver and another half hour for the wiring harness. Saved almost $1,000 off the dealership price! A friend recommended etrailer and I am so glad he did!
Successfully installed on 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. Installed by myself in about 20 min total, the included instructions are sufficient. An extra set of hands would be helpful, but the M14 bolts are long enough that I could hold up the hitch myself and get them started...a little awkward but doable. Installation summary: remove all four M14 bolts with 21mm socket, hold up the hitch to the holes to see if any caulk is in the way (I had to trim caulk near rear bolts on both sides to get hitch to line up properly), raise the hitch to align holes and insert/hand tighten the bolts, tighten with ratchet evenly all around to make sure everything lined up properly, tighten to proper torque.... and you’re done. There is a little more space between hitch and bumper than I anticipated (half inch or so), but now that I look more closely at all the other pictures on the website, mine looks same as all the others. Otherwise, price seemed good for the hitch, fast shipping, feels like solid quality, a couple of dings/scratches on the hitch out of the box, but overall it looked good and nothing I’m really worried about. Haven’t used the hitch yet. I don’t anticipate any issues, but will report back if anything else to add in future.
Very easy installation. Looks great. I like it so much I might remove it and put it on my next Grand Cherokee, if it fits.
Perfect for 2019 Durango , very easy to install , just removed the 4 bolts from the rear frame , did it myself and no help needed
This was perfect for my 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited X! The install took me about 10 minutes (or less). The whole thing was painless and easy. Just take out 4 bolts, hold the trailer hitch in place and put the bolts back in. The hitch sits nice and tight to my bumper and is barely noticeable. Very happy with everything. As others have said the only thing you will need (for a jeep grand cherokee) is a 21mm socket wrench and an extra pair of hands to help hold it in place while you put the bolts back in.
Received the hitch on the date it was promised. It was actually delivered early in the day, giving me the opportunity to get a head start on the project. The install was easier than I thought and although I have not yet towed the boat, It all seems sturdy. The wiring was so easy. Plug and play. The hardest part was making sure that I did not break the tail lights when I took them out to plug in the new harness. The videos were truly a great help.
This is a fine hitch at a reasonable price. It is pretty heavy duty. I installed mine on a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Mind that it is pretty heavy to be working with upside down so I used a jack to help support the hitch while I installed the bolts. The main problem with the jeep was to remove the bolts on the existing rear tow hook. These were difficult to remove and required a lot of leverage and a long pipe (my air socket wrench just didn't have enough torque). I use a 4-bike rack that is very stable fully loaded. I highly recommend this rack and etrailer. This is my second hitch purchase from them.
Very good price, arrived on time, and seems to be very sturdy. Installation was fairly easily. The R/T model has a plastic heat shield between the exhaust and spare tire that has to be removed to get the hitch in place. To reinstall the shield notches have to be cut out on ends where it meets the hitch mounts to get it back in place. It's held in place by six 10mm nuts and come out and back in easily enough once the notches are cut. With the hitch in place it is a very tight fit getting the spare back in place - I had to guide it and nudge it some while my son worked the winch until it cleared the hitch.
Keith B - 07/09/2018I did not remove the spare tire to install the hitch on my 2012 Durango although that made it difficult to get the wrench in position. The original bolts were painted and really tough to remove. I called a local mechanic and asked for advice. He suggested cutting a piece of pipe and inserting my wrench handle in that to extend the effective length of the wrench. The additional torque which that idea provided was enough to smoothly loosen the bolts. No hammering, torch, or paint thinner were needed. The hitch was easy to install after that.
Dave F - 08/31/2015Fit great , just wish it had a spot to mount the trailer wire harness .
John b - 06/24/2021I have a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. This hitch just bolted in. It really helps to have a second set of hand only to help hold the hitch in place. Install is 10 minutes after you find your torque wrench. Great instructions. Even better support from eTrailer.com
At this time, there are no aftermarket trailer wiring solutions available for the 2014 Grand Cherokee. Your best source would be heading back to the dealership. I'm not sure if they have something in development or if it's not going to be possible to do an aftermarket harness on the 2014. The Grand Cherokee electrical system has become increasingly complex in the last few years and has brought some challenges with trailer wiring systems. If you don't have a 2014, let me know what year you do have, and I can help you find a solution.

Patrick B - 7/1/2013 Bryan M - 05/09/2014I have confirmed with my contact at Curt and this hitch fits all of the: 2012-2014 Jeep Cherokees models excluding the SRT-8 Models, all the 2014 Jeep Cherokee models including the SRT-8 Models, except the 2014 SRT-8 Diesel Models.
-- Rachael H - 8/6/2014The trailer hitch worked fine for my 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee but it was the wrong wiring harness. I had to purchase the correct one. But the hitch worked
Simple install that fits perfectly. All I needed was an pneumatic impact driver to remove the four bolts under the rear of the Jeep and then I was able to put the hitch into the factory location.
This has worked great! I have purchased a bike rack and cooler holder to go with this. Easy install at a shop or if you're handing, can do yourself.
I've had this hitch installed for about a year now and it works great on my 2014 Grand Cherokee! I've towed a 5x8 garden trailer many times and a ski boat a few times as well. No issues whatsoever. I also love the round bars and the way it tucks up under the bumper. Overall a great product that I would definitely recommend.
Great product bolted on easy. Me and my 11 year old son help me install. Took about 20-30 mins bolts were a little rusty
If you a jeep grand cherokee diesel keep in mind that the DEF tank will be in the way. This hitch still bolts up but it will just be harder and take more time than if it is a gasoline engine.
This hitch installed like a dream. Literally took 15 minutes. I did it myself. The video was super helpful and the instructions were straight forward. I love that this hitch doesn't stick out beyond the bumper. I'm very pleased with this product!!
Robin - 06/03/2015Super easy install and fit perfectly. We used this receiver for our Kuat bike rack so have not put excessive weight on it but it works great for us. Highly recommend!
Hitch is a perfect fit. Took less time to install than doing an oil and filter change. Great video from etrailer showing the installation.
Jeffrey - 04/13/2021Easy install. 20 minutes by myself with the help of a floor jack. Using it for a small utility trailer.
