Fully welded Jeep Grand Cherokee L trailer hitch is strong and durable. Draw-Tite's Tested Tough guarantee ensures that this hitch exceeds industry standards. The combination of an e-coat base and a powder coat finish provides excellent rust protection.
Features:
Specs:
Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.
Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.
At etrailer.com we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch. The technicians at etrailer perform hitch installations on a daily basis, making them a valuable resource for do-it-yourselfers. The one-on-one, personal service you'll receive comes straight from an expert in the towing and automotive field. We've installed it, we've wired it and we've towed with it, so whatever your question, we can answer it.
Tech Tip
No drilling through vehicle frame required for installation , Requires temporary removal of bumper/fascia during installation , Exhaust must be temporarily lowered for installation , Installation requires permanent removal of the impact structure; hitch replaces the impact structure for support and safety

Fully welded vehicle trailer hitch is strong and durable. Draw-Tite's Tested Tough guarantee ensures that this hitch exceeds industry standards. The combination of an e-coat base and a powder coat finish provides excellent rust protection.Installation directions and processes were great!.
The only issue I had is with the Muffler hanger bold. It did not have a welded nut on the trailer hitch arms (inside the Jeep frame). I wish that there was an appropriate "wirepull" for this bold to slide the washers/nuts down not tighten them appropriately. I actually added a larger washer and inserted the bolt from the inside (instead of up into the frame) and then used the nuts on the outside (so just reversed from the original installation).
The Jeep "panel door" to cover the trailer hitch when not used fits perfectly and with no modifications.
For skilled Jeep personnel, it probably takes 1.5 Hrs, but for the general public, removing the body, obviously not wanting to damage the trim cladding makes the time go up by a couple hours. However, that said, looks great, works great and also added the electrical interconnect.
Great product and instructions.
Only other thing I did was used Cerakote paint and painted the hitch to match the truck (Satin Aluminum Cerakote).
The quality of the hitch is great, I went with the Draw-Tite over the Curt because I liked the bend vs the straight bar hitch. The installation is time consuming and you should take your time to make sure that all the steps are followed. The installation videos are a major help in knowing what all to expect. I recommend taping the quarter panel and bumper panel as they show in the video, especially if your tackling this yourself. Also I had to lower my full sized spare tire to get the hitch installed, no problem and everything fit when I put it all back together. If you want to pull a trailer, now is the time to install the wiring harness as everything is exposed when you pull off the bumper panel. My taillights on the 2022 were a T-30 torx head.
Product arrived on time as promised. I watched the installation process on video that was included in my email receipt That helps me tremendously and gave me great confidence to tackle the installation of the hitch and wiring. The removal of the rear bumper was a first for me, but the video most definitely helped. Thanks e-trailer! You saved me high labor costs.

Way to get it done Art! What are you towing?
The hitch is a is a little more complicated for installation than previous hitches I've done as is reflected in the 10/10 difficulty rating but the installation video provided by etrailer made it pretty easy to do, just took a little longer. I had no problem getting the bolts in place without using the provided fishing wires. I really like how it's hidden behind the rear fascia when not in use.
Great product have installed these on other projects.
Be sure to watch the videos and tape around where the bumper comes off as to prevent scratches. Be sure to read the directions too. Good kit, can't tow much I don't think with any aftermarket hitch on Grand Cherokee, but will enjoy extra storage from cantilevered rack on back.
William B went above and beyond to assist me in finding the right hitch for my car and ensuring that it was the proper model. He provided A+ service. Thank you so much!!

That's great Matthew, I'll be sure to pass on the positive feedback to Will!
Easy to install if you take your time and are patient I had a lift to use so i had it done in 2 hours and 30 minutes that’s including installing the plug and play wireing as well
Excellent quality and fit. Install instructions are fantastic. Excellent hitch receiver choice.
I just received and installed a class 4 hitch on my 2022 Grand Cherokee Laredo L and as usual it was easy to install, and as usual the hitch is top notch. This is my 5th hitch I've purchased through the years and I will purchase all my hitches from etrailer. In fact I'm about to purchase number 6,thanks for the great products.
Great product. Everything installed easily. Very good and helpful videos
Great! The hitch for my 2023 Grand Cherokee L arrived earlier than expected. The link to the installation video was essential and super helpful for the installation. The video explained step by step in detail how to install and assured me that the bumper cover would fit after the installation which it did perfectly. The installation instructions that came with the "Drawtite" hitch were not very good so glad I had the video. .
My review is mainly for the customer service representative, Kelsey S. that helped me through the return process for this same hitch with a tilt defect. She was extremely professional, attentive and quick to respond. WE've ordered many hitches from e-trailer over the years, and I just want it to be known that it's not just the products that keep us coming back, it's the high level of customer service too!
Keep up the great work
Received product in 2 days. Installation video was clear and installed in a couple hours with no issues.
I have ordered several products from trailer and highly recommend them for accurate product description, easy ordering, and speedy delivery
There could have been better instructions but the product is nice
The items were shipped quickly and the videos were extremely helpful with installation
Box was damaged but product or
Wasn’t damaged enough to
Complain. Forgot
To
Order working harness and tried to
Order one prior to receiving this almost $300 hitch and save the $5 shipping (minimum $90 for free ship) and harness was only 87 after tax. Supper annoyed that they wouldn’t allow me to add the harness to original order. Now i have to wait another few days to receive the harness which i ordered anyway.

I can understand that frustration. However, it seems that we didnt receive any notification about your situation till after the original order for the hitch had already shipped out. I also see that it looks like you contacted us but needed to get the harness and ball mount expedited. Unfortunately, we do not offer free shipping for expedited shipping. I am sorry for the inconvenience, but it does look like the order for the harness and the ball mount should be arriving soon.
Hitch fits like oem, hardware and build quality are all high quality and strong
Quality Product, and no drilling!
The Draw-Tite is a well made hitch; however, it does not have the receiving nuts welded to it like other hitches and that makes a huge difference on installation time. They give you threaded wire which helps get them through the holes, but having the pre-installed nuts provides for a precision positioned installation as there is play to move the hitch either more forward or backwards when it's placed into the receiving framework of the car. This makes it more guesswork as to where you should position the hitch within the car frame tube before tightening it.
Do you push it all the way forward into the tube or pull it all the way back?
I opted for pulling it back as I wouldn't want the possibility of the hitch sliding back and then grabbing by the mounting bolts if they somehow became loose over time. The other problem not noted anywhere in the paperwork is that when you insert the hitch into the car receiving frame it does not sit level and even if you hold it in place somewhat level so it doesn't tip down you are left with a gap between the underside of the trailer hitch tube and the car frame tube with no explanation on how to account for this difference. If you were to tighten it into place using the hardware and square spacers as shown in the installation diagram the hitch's final position would be slightly tilted downwards when completely installed and all six bolts were tightened. I actually used the two square spacers for the bolts going through the bottom of the hitch and placed them under the hitch to keep it level within the car frame receiving tube and then put the bottom bolts through and tightened them in place. It would be helpful to get a video up as soon as possible for this hitch and the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee as the exhaust support system is different which also created another challenge on how to secure it properly.
This hitch is heavy and has gussets in the rights spots. Fits my 2022 GC 4XE nicely and took about 2 hours to install. The hardest part is getting the bumper off without damaging it. One of the included nuts intended for the exhaust bracket was too big, fortunately I had one in my spare bin. One of my hitch pins doesn’t fit. I may have to file out the pins holes slightly. The stock hitch cover works perfectly and hides the hitch like it wasn’t there. Minor scuffing from shipping not a big deal.
I will definitely buy the mount for the wiring harness. I prefer the ease of the 7 pin connector.
Do you have a question about this Trailer Hitch?

Hey Darin! I love that you painted it to match the bumper. I say it looks better than what you would get at the dealership.
