Fully welded Jeep Patriot 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.

Shipped fast, makes the 4th or 5th hidden hitch I have purchased over the years. The installation videos make installation easier than ever. You know what to look out for before you start. Looks good and fits as advertised.
E-Trailer Hitch #87606 ("Hidden Hitch") Installation on a 2014 Jeep Compass:
The installation took about 2 1/2 hours. I consider myself an average Joe regarding mechanical abilities. Yes, you do have to drop the muffler and remove the heat shield. I let the muffler hang freely- that was the only way I had enough room to push the lift into place. The rubber muffler suspension mounts slip/pop right off with a little spray lube. That took me 30+ minutes to figure out. Also makes reinstallation easy. I did not jack the car up and was able to access everything by lying on the garage floor. I did the project myself- working from the floor enables you to use your legs to lift the hitch into position. Get one side supported with one bolt (untightened) and then you can mark the facia cut where the hitch tongue hits it. I marked the cut- out with masking tape and used a dremmel with a cut off wheel....a bit of trial an error...I didn't want a bigger piece removed than necessary. When completed, the hitch mount flange on the un-bolted side was easy to move into place and secure loosely with bolts. I then secured the first side with the remaining nut and bolt/lock washer. There is not much room to swing wrenches so that took some time to torque the 4 mounting bolts. Suggest using a drop light for this part. Hope to install the trailer light harness (item # 118539) in the next week or so. Will right a review on that too.
good service and follow up good instruction

do not even think twice about dealing with this company ......they are awesome to deal with and i will be buying from them again and again and again.
This product worked great and was easy to install. It did take a little longer to install than advertised but still a great product
Item fit and all parts were included. Black coating was chipped in a few areas from shipping I suppose, but its going to get its fair share of scrapes being under my jeep, just keep an eye and touch up when needed so no rusting occurs.
Installed less than 30 min's Great Product, Fast Friendly service... Thanks E trailer
trailer hitch and light kit was great quality!!!! suggest better paper instructions detailing cutting of facia. took a little extra time but overall came out perfect

e-trailer customer service – Bonnie P was just great! I received the Hitch in 3 days. I took just 20 minutes to install. 3 minutes to toque the bolts. Done. No pre-drilling was needed on my 2007 Jeep Compass.
Thank you,
Bonnie
It took less than 30 minutes to install by myself. Installation when just like the video showed.
Great service and equally great product! When you order things online you often don't know what you're going to get, I can highly recommend etrailer to get the right product to you! I'll be using them as often as I need to as well as let my friends know who etrailer is!
The delivery was on time and the product was delivered in good condition. The instructions on how high to trim the body faschia was confusing to my husband and he didn't trim it up far enough. This caused 30 mins to end up being 3 hrs. I finally convinced him to trim higher and like magic it was installed. End result was excellent! I like the product and would recommend it to others.
excelent deliver i got my hitch the next day i was very happy and the installation was very easy it fit perfect without any help, i will buy more product from you, good job i gave 10 for for the instructions.
I was very happy with my jeep compass hitch. The wire harness and hitch came in the. Same box and on the day it was estameted to arrive. The hitch was easy to install and was done in minutes. The directions were clear and easy to under stand. I'm very happy with my hitch and would recommend to all looking for an easy add on
