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.
Jimmy - 04/25/2021Followed the instructions and removed the four bolts, little difficult doing it by yourself, an extra hand would help holding it in place but I managed. Got it installed, and I must say I'm happy with it so far, I like how it's tucked up out of the way, and it looks factory installed like others I've seen. Have not used it yet but hopefully it's gonna get a workout come Hunting season as I will have a cargo carrier mounted to it.
CHECK YOUR EXISTING BOLTS, DON'T MAKE MY MISTAKE. The installation for a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee should have been an extremely easy install, BUT apparently one of my bolts was corroded and busted while trying to torque to spec. Extracting the bolt was a huge pain in the butt, so what should have taken 15min took me about 3-4 hours. Overall, the hitch is solid and well made. Mine came with a few scratches out of the box, so I spray it over with some Rustoleum enamel spray paint.
Sierra K - 12/30/2021Easy install. Took about 30 minutes. Remove 4 bolts from vehicle, put hitch in position, reinstall 4 bolts and torque to specification.
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!
I 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 - 08/31/2015Fast shipping, Quality hitch!
I 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 - 8/6/2014Incredibly easy to install on my 2019 Grand Cherokee. Took all of about 20 min.
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.
These folks are great at etrailer.com! They've sent me all the info I need to install, sent follow up emails once it was delivered as well as sent, and they are just all around a great source for all your trailer/automotive needs. This hitch for my 2017 Durango went in easier than any other ive installed also. They couldn't of made it any easier! Thanks guys!
Timothy - 08/27/2021This is the second hitch receiver I have purchased from etrailer.com. Just like the first for my Lexus, this one for a Grand Cherokee was simple and easy for to install by myself. Perfect fit. We already have over 5,000 miles towing an AirStream 23FB. It has worked perfectly and fits the BlueOx hitch perfectly.
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.
Seamless! Instructions say level 1 install in 30 minutes. Super simple, fits perfectly and installed in my garage in 24 minutes. Before and after
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 - 06/03/2015This 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.
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
Very disappointed in your products with your company. The first hitch i ordered was damaged so bad out of the box so bad i had to return it and am STILL waiting for my refund! The second one came and seemed acceptable. I installed it and two days later its chipped and rusting in a visible area of the hitch. I was told on the phone "The hitch arrive to us from the factory stacked on top of on another so there going to be scratched and paint chipped". That response in not an excuse to me. That to me is a gap in QC (quality control). If majority of product are being damaged in transit from the factory. Demand that the producer get a better protected, quality product delivered to your company and in turn to the customer.
There are 4 bolts in the frame. You take 13/16” socket or wrench and remove them, lift hitch up and reinstall 4 bolts. Hitch install is done in 5 minutes!
Perfect for 2019 Durango , very easy to install , just removed the 4 bolts from the rear frame , did it myself and no help needed
Outstanding!!! First, Jeep wanted close to $700.00 to install their factory hitch. etrailer hitch cost me way less, no charge for shipping. It took me 5 minutes to unscrew the 4 bolts on the 2015 Jeep GC. I employed a friend to help me installed the hitch. It took us 5 minutes. It helps to have someone hold up one side of the hitch while attaching to frame. I highly recommend this product. It looks factory installed. Fits perfect under the bumper. Thank you
20 minute install! Such a great product. Dropped my spare, put this in, put the spare back up. The videos on the website made this install so easy.
