This fully welded trailer hitch bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. 6" Long receiver sits beneath your bumper so it's out of the way when accessing cargo. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.

2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

This hitch was installable without dropping the exhaust from the rubber hangar. If you put the head of the bolts between the heat shield and muffler, the pry the muffler down a bit with a pry bar, you can get the bolts in. Then a tight space to get the nuts on but definitely doable. Hitch worked great and pulled the trailer just fine.



by:

Great product, green wire needs to be about 6” longer very tight. The main problem is the receiver needs to be 4” longer towards the rear of vehicle. Can’t hook up without it, it makes the ball sit about 1/2 “ below the spare tire. Just too short so I have to get a special order hookup

Excellent hitch, fairly easy installation, plenty of options to choose from, the one I opted for my jeep is perfect for me, thank you

Nice quality and detailed instructions, easy installation, just need to drop the hanger on the muffler, discharge end only. Good looking powder coat finish too.

The hitch is very solid. Great price. It was easy to install and fit perfectly to the bottom of the bumper. We will be towing our jet ski to the lake this summer!

Just installed. But was very easy on Our 2011 Jeep Wrangler 2 door. Little tight getting bolts between exhaust but a little tap with little hammer and they went right in. Don't tow much it's a "just in case purchase "



by:

Ordering was easy, the “how to” videos gave me the confidence to install items myself. Great communication, never once wondered where my order was. Placed order on a Saturday not expecting it to be processed until Monday. Pleasantly surprised to see emails that my order was received and being prepped for shipping!



by:

Excellent product. Arrived in two days. Great American company. Very easy to install. Did not need to lower the muffler



by:

Very easy install. Love the fact that it is recessed under the bumper and out of the way when accessing the rear storage area of our 2020 Jeep Wrangler.

Just got it installed, much easier than expected. Product seems solid. If you're installing on a Jeep Wrangler with a tire on the back, then you'll also need to get an extender so you can clear the tire.

etrailer scores a 5Star rating again. I have used them multiple times and they are always professional. I’ve only needed assistance with one product and when I called I talked to an actual person! He helped me fix my problem and the hitch was perfect. My latest hitch for my Jeep Wrangler looks great as well

Looks great on my JKU, easily installed. Adam in customer service was super helpful!

2017 Jeep Wrangler

I ordered a hitch receiver to be installed on my 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited from the place that was installing it, but the one they ordered stuck out about 4” past my bumper. I immediately expressed dissatisfaction with how it looked & pointed out that it was a hazard whenever I open my rear door. I was ecstatic to find this hitch receiver on etrailer.com. I can’t wait for it to be installed tomorrow. Thank you etrailer.com.

2018 Jeep JK Wrangler

I bought this trailer hitch after I watched an etrailer video on how to install it. It just arrived today and I am totally pleased with it. I’m going camping this weekend and I needed the hitch to haul some stuff on my trailer hitch rack. Thanks for the help.



by:

Product was shipped literally within 2 hours of purchase! Easy to install per my brother. Will be using to pull a jet ski. Highly recommend. Sturdy hitch and wiring! Thank you etrailer!



by:
2018JeepJL Wrangler Unlimited

I haven't used the hitch, but it is a Curt. It is solid and heavy and the normal high quality you get from Curt. That's about all I can say about the product since I haven't installed or used yet. I can give a review of etrailer. Read some good reviews and not so good reviews of etrailer. Decided to go with etrailer and give them a try. Same day shipping, fast shipping and courteous service. My experience overall; excellent.



by:

The hitch is nicely finished. The welds look good and it was very easy to install. It took all of 10 minutes to put on.

This hitch is still looking good



by:

Heavy duty and high quality. Instructions were straight forward and installation was simple. Took about 20 minutes to install on a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK. Definitely recommend.



by:

Works great. The hitch was easy to install. Dropping the exhaust turned out to be more challenging. Buy the tool to make that part smoother.



by:

Very impressed with the hitch and ease of installation, look forward to many years of reliable service.

  • Trailer Hitch, Wiring, and Ball Mount Recommendation for 2017 Jeep Wrangler Sport
    For a trailer hitch for your 2017 Jeep Wrangler the Curt hitch part # 13432 is a great option confirmed as a fit. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well. 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 or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If...

  • How to Increase Towing Capacity of 2012 Jeep Wrangler
    An equalizing hitch or weight distribution can sometimes increase the capacity of the receiver hitch. For example the Curt Class III hitch for your vehicle # 13432 has a gross trailer weight of 3500 lbs. With weight distribution the maximum GTW is 4000 lbs. However, the vehicle manufacturers stated towing capacity or rating will always be the final determination of how much the vehicle can tow. Any towing system will only be as strong as its lowest rated component. I would urge you to...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver to fit a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 75th Anniversary Ediiton
    I'm fairly certain the 75th Anniversary edition of the 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited uses the same rear bumper as the Rubicon model. If I'm wrong about this let me know and send me a picture of your rear bumper if you can. This way I can make a correct recommendation. If I'm correct then we have two hitch receivers that actually fit your Jeep even if our site says they only fit the "Standard Rear Bumper" Curt receivers # 13432 as well as the Draw-Tite # DT78MR all fit for you. I've confirmed...

    The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outermost part of the rear spare tire will vary depending on the hitch receiver installed. Assuming you have a stock tire and wheel size, the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outermost portion of the spare tire is 11" while using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13432. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier part # UF48-979033 is 5" therefore,...

  • Recommended Hitch and Wiring Harness for a 2020 Jeep Wrangler
    I would be happy to make a couple for you! To add a hitch to your 2020 Jeep Wrangler, I recommend the Curt item # 13432. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Jeep super easy with four included bolts. It's got a 2" receiver with a 3,500 lbs towing capacity and a 350 lbs maximum tongue weight so it will be great for towing or trailer or using accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier. I have linked an installation video below to help you get this hitch set up. For a wiring harness,...

    Hey Jeff, I doublechecked the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13392 and # 13432 as they are labeled with their capacities and also reached out to Curt for confirmation. After speaking with Curt we found that their website incorrectly listed the capacities lower than they actually are. They should be fixing this issue and we'll have it properly labeled on our site as well and updated in our answer pages to avoid further confusion.

    The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4" #36424 has been discontinued but was a fit for the standard bumper on a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL. It will not slip over the bracket you reference so it is not a fit for your specific vehicle due to that bracket.

  • 4-way Connector Mounting Hardware Recommendation
    I agree with you that it might be just a bit too tight to install the Curt Easy Mounting Bracket # C58001 on your Jeep Wrangler's Curt Trailer Hitch # 13432. Instead, I suggest using a 4-Pole Mounting Bracket # 18144 with a No-Drill Mount Bracket # C57202. The mount bracket will attach to the bumper beam on your Wrangler, and the 4-pole bracket will attach to the mount bracket. The mount bracket can be flattened for installation, if needed, to gain clearance of the rear bumper. I have...

  • Differences Between Curt Trailer Hitches # 9883544 and # 13432
    The Curt # 13432 and the # 9883544 were the same exact hitch. We got a significant volume discount on that hitch from Curt, and were selling the discounted hitch under a different part number. We have since ran out of the # 9883544, but still have the # 13432 available. The # 13432 hitch is a fit for the 2014 Wrangler Unlimited.

  • Installation of Curt Class III 2-Inch Hitch # 13432 On a 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
    I spoke with my contact at Curt and he said when installing the Curt Class III 2-Inch Hitch, part # 13432, to your 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, the bolts can be installed either direction, as long as they are torqued correctly. The reason they say back to front, when installing the bolts, is because on most applications there is more room on the front of the hitch to install the nuts to the bolts. The clearance is limited for the nuts to install when the bolts go in from the front to...

The first couple of options are exactly what you mentioned, you can let it hang there or zip-tie it, but either of these options don't look that great.

To get the full function of your 7-way, you will also need to add a brake controller like # 90195. I've attached some videos...

First, make sure the Jeep and the trailer are parked on level ground and not coupled up to each other. Next, measure from the ground to the top of the hitch receiver opening on the Jeep. Then, using the trailer jack, make the trailer level and measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler. The difference between the 2...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Trailer Wiring Harness for 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon X
    According to Curt, the only 2014 Wrangler Unlimited model that the # 13432 will not fit is the Hard Rock Edition, so it will fit your 2014 Rubicon X. The hitch includes all installation hardware. For trailer wiring, I'd recommend the Tow Ready # 118416. To complete your towing system, you'll need a ball mount, part # D-4, Hitch Pin and Clip, # PC3, and a 1-7/8 trailer ball, part # 19260 or a 2 inch ball, part # 63845.

To install the brake controller you will first need a 4-way if you do not have one. For that you would want the part # C55124. The next...

We have had some customers install it on their 2018 JL Wranglers though and say that the install time was very minimal so you may be able to install it without messing with the muffler like what we show in the linked install video on a 2018 JK. If you do happen to have to lower your exhaust it actually isn't very difficult....
