Rugged, Matte Black Finish

The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

Love this product. Would buy again! Very good quality product



by:

Lowers your breakaway angle for off-roading, unlike a factory style hitch, but not a big deal. Otherwise a great product that works exactly as advertised, a very sturdy hitch!

I ordered a trailer hitch for a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee and was shipped the wrong unit. I need to return it after buying one from my local garage who sourced it from Mopar

Great project, instructional video was very helpful



by:

I installed it and used a wire brush to clean off the muffler piping and it went back in smooth, yes the videos explaining were great.



by:

Works exactly as advertised. Bolts right on, and has been great so far this year. No rust, and still holds solid! Quality product.



by:

The fish wire was not included. Had to make my own out of safety wire. Made the project extremely difficult. Paper instructions would have also been helpful. Had to watch a you tube video at a friends, then go and install where i don't have internet.

JeepCherokee

hitch mounted up fine. Heard knocking sound when Jeep Cherokee went over small bumps in road. Got out to check hitch receiver and it was tight. Crawled under car and noticed the passenger side exhaust tip was banging up against a corner of the hitch. Pulled rear section of muffler off and used an angle grinder to trim about 3/8” off the rounded corner of the hitch receiver on both sides. Works fine now. This receiver will only carry bicycles and not be used for towing. Could have been the passenger side exhaust tip was mounted to the muffler slightly different than the driver side.



by:

Purchased mainly to be able to mount a vertical kayak carrier and it's working great. Easy installation with good instructions.



by:
2020JeepCherokee

Was exactly what I needed to be able to take my mobility scooter on my jeep cherokee. Easy to install my husband and friend had it on in 45 minutes!



by:
2020JeepCherokee

Wish I'd have ordered the brake light adaptor when I ordered the hitch, but the hitch fit perfect and looks awesome, I'm sure it'll give me many years of satisfaction.



by:

Good quality product. Installation not difficult. Thanks



by:

box arrived damaged from the hitch punching thru which allowed it to be exposed to possible damage.

Rating 4 start right now cause I have just received my hitch and have not installed. But must say quality of welds and paint/powder coating looks very well. So far I am happy with the product.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2021 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk That Protrudes Through Bumper
    While there is one hitch for your 2021 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk that exits through the bumper, the # e73ZR does not, as the receiver will be below the bumper of your Jeep. The only option for a hitch that protrudes the bumper of your Cherokee Trailhawk is from Draw-Tite: - Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT28MR I have added a photo of the # DT28MR installed on a Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk so you can see exactly how it will look when installed on your Jeep.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe and Jeep Cherokee
    For a trailer hitch for your 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport we have the Draw Tite part # 75772 which is a confirmed fit and then for wiring you'd want the part # C56332 which is also a confirmed fit. Prices and install video attached below. Then for your 2015 Jeep Cherokee you'd want the etrailer hitch part # e73ZR and for wiring # 118605. Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise...

  • 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk Hitch and Trailer Wiring Harness Suggestion
    Sorry about the confusion. The Curt # C13398 and # C13171 and the etrailer brand # e73ZR would all fit the 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. Of the various options, a top choice would be the etrailer # e73ZR because once installed it would be the most concealed. The receiver tube would be accessed via the removable panel in the bumper fascia, making for a factory installed appearance. However, if you'll be towing with the hitch, it'll be difficult to attach the safety chains because of the...

  • Recommended Hitch w/ the Best Ground Clearance for a 2019 Jeep Cherokee
    Thanks for the pictures! The ground clearance of the etrailer Hitch item # e73ZR on a 2019 Jeep Cherokee is right at 9-1/2" to the bottom of the safety chain loops. This dimension will vary depending on passenger/cargo load, tire condition (brand new versus having 40K miles on them) and tire inflation pressure. I really like the etrailer hitch because the crossbar installs behind your rear bumper cover leaving only the 2" x 2" receiver visible. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver....

  • Fascia Trimming Required to Install etrailer Hitch in 2019 Jeep Cherokee
    There are no photos that can be forwarded so what I have done is cut out a photo of the installation instructions, which I have also linked for you. This shows you exactly what fascia trimming is required to install the etrailer # e73ZR Trailer Hitch on your 2019 Jeep Cherokee. It is possible you simply have not trim quite enough, which is interfering with your installation attempt.

  • Concealed Trailer Hitch Recommendatio for 2019 Jeep Cherokee
    We have trailer hitches with concealed crosstubes that fit your 2019 Jeep Cherokee like the etrailer part # e73ZR which is a great option, but the hitch tube does hang below the rear bumper of the vehicle. We do not have a hitch like the Mopar part number you mentioned which comes out higher in the rear fascia. I attached an installed picture for this hitch for you to check out as well.

  • Comparing etrailer and Curt Hitch Receivers for a 2021 Jeep Cherokee
    There are three differences in the two receivers. The etrailer Hitch item # e73ZR mounts slightly higher and will offer more ground clearance but the installation is more difficult. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C13395 has a higher towing and tongue weight capacity. The Curt has a maximum gross trailer weight of 5,500 lbs and a maximum tongue weight capacity of 675 lbs.

  • Is There a Custom Cover Plate for Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2021 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk
    There are two types of trailer hitch options for a 2021 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, ones that installs under the bumper like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e73ZR and ones that installs inside the bumper like the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT28MR. In regards to the latter option, there will be a large opening inside the bumper once installed if installed per the instructions.

  • Best Hitch for Ground Clearance on a 2018 Jeep Cherokee
    I would be happy to help you but the etrailer Hitch item # e73ZR fits the 2019 and newer Jeep Cherokee's so it's not going to be much help determining which has better ground clearance. The hitch with the most ground clearance, that fits your 2018 Jeep Cherokee, is going to be the Draw Tite item # 75998 with 13-1/4" from the ground to the top of the inside edge of the receiver. Only the hitch opening will be visible with this hitch and it sits 1/4 inch higher than the etrailer Trailer...

    The hitch I recommend for your 2020 Jeep Cherokee Latitude is the mostly hidden etrailer # e73ZR. Once this hitch is installed the only thing visible will be the hitch opening hanging below the rear bumper. See attached picture. I also attached an install video as well. Then for wiring the Tekonsha kit part # 118779 is a really great option too. It installs very easily and comes with a very reliable converter box as well.

  • Recommended Brake Controller for a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee With Factory Tow Package
    From what I could find, the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee did not come with a factory brake controller. However, you do have a factory port for an aftermarket controller to plug directly in to. The Tekonsha Primus IQ # TK90160 paired with the plug and play harness # TK93VR will be the ones I suggest. This is a very easy controller to set up and use, and can handle trailers with up to 3 axles that have brakes. The harness will also plug directly into a port under the dash. I included a video...

The bike rack I recommend for a 2014 Jeep Cherokee with the etrailer hitch item # e73ZR is the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT Bike Rack part # TH92BJ which has locks to secure the bike rack to the vehicle and the bikes to the bike rack.

  • Curt vs. etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2022 Jeep Cherokee
    The Curt # C13395 and etrailer # e73ZR are in fact nearly identical. However, what sets the etrailer hitch apart is the matte black powder coat finish. This gives it more of an OEM appearance for a sharp look on your 2022 Jeep Cherokee and is also the reason I would recommend it over others. The finish also does a better job hiding dirt and dings when compared to the glossy finish in the Curt hitch. If you plan on doing some towing you will also need wiring and a ball mount.

  • Is Trailer Hitch Secure to Underside of 2018 Jeep Cherokee?
    While it is accurate that there isn't much clearance between Curt hitch # C13172 and the muffler on a 2018 Jeep Cherokee, it is bolted onto the frame of the vehicle. It should be sturdy and not move to hit the muffler if torqued to the correct specs, which you can see in the linked directions. It is, of course, possible that extremely rough terrain could cause some vibration but if installed properly the hitch and muffler should peacefully coexist.
