Fully welded Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 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.

#1. This receiver hitch fit perfectly. It slid on easily and the four holes matched up for the bolt installation.
#2. eTrailer's customer service is top notch. I returned the Curt hitch without any push back from eTrailer because it didn't slide onto the rear crossbeam of my Jeep. I received the Draw-Tite in just a few days. I wouldn't hesitate doing business with this company in the future.
Excellent built hitch. Has a higher tongue weight rating than the Mopar hitch (Jeep JLU Sport S). Bolted right up to my Jeep, no need to drop the exhaust. Took probably 5 minutes to install. Instructions call for 18mm wrenches but the actual size required is 19mm, and there is enough room to get a ratchet in there, easily, despite the instructions indicating there isn't. Fast shipping from trailer and a fair price. Thanks!
Everything worked out great. Mike B. from etrailer was a big help and kept me informed about my order. Thanks Mike! The hitch and hardware was perfect.
Great hitch! I like the options available. I chose this one because it sticks out a little more and made my hitch rack fit better without touching the tire on my Jeep.
Installation video was very helpful. The left side middle aft nut was difficult to reach due to hitch tab blocking the majority of access. Quite challenging to install, had to use a magnet to hold the nut whilst hand starting the bolt. All worked though.
Looks great and well made. Installation was easy and fit good.

Looks great, Charles! What are you going to be carrying on your Wrangler?
Another successful order and install from etrailer.com! Always fast shipping and excellent installation guide videos! Installed on 2021 JL Wrangler EcoDiesel.
Tip for EcoDiesel specific install -- drop the DEF tank a bit to access the bolt holes easier!
Awesome trailer hitch. I really liked that it had the added piece for the trailer lighting.
Easy to install on the back of my Jeep Wrangler. Have had no issues. It pulls my trailer just fine.
Heavy duty. Easy to install. Bolt on
Great fit! Bolted directly to the cross member of the Jeep and was tight. I put a small platform on, made for transport of a mobility scooter. We use it to transport firewood from the barn to the porch and it is strong and there is little or no play. The hitch is like part of the Jeep in strength and form
This Draw-Tite hitch is both high quality and easy to install. The 6 3/8” extended receiver brings the 2” opening closer to the edge of the spare tire than any other hitch I’ve seen.

This is a great hitch! Been using it for the last year with absolutely no problems. We towed our 20 ft camper home from Ohio to Florida thru the mountains and to a few more places around the state. Since it’s installed on my 2016 Jeep Wrangler, it’s also been used to pull stuck vehicles out of the sand at the beach. It’s worked great thru every situation. Best investment I’ve ever made.
Perfect fit! Well worth the price! Took me about 20 min to install. Didn't even have to remove the bumper! Well worth it and easy to read instructions!
Excellent trailer hitch for my 2019 Jeep Wrangler Sport. Fit perfectly with no installation issues. Took me all of fifteen minutes to install, had to grind a small welding splitter from the Jeep mounting cross member where the hitch attaches to, that was the Jeep Factories fault.
I also repainted the area where I had to grind on, so no corrosion and no rust would set in.
Over all the install was Great. Install directions were excellent as well.
Very easy install and solid hitch.
Great hitch...heavy duty...price is right and delivery was super fast!
Needed a shim but was not included.
Fast shipping great products
Great hitch! Seems to have been constructed well and has a great finish on it. Installed easily on my 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport in less than an hour. Tricky part was getting the nuts started on the bolts. I used a magnet for this part. I was also able to do the install without having to drop the exhaust, which an installation video recommended doing. Item was packaged well and delivered when anticipated.
Easy install and came with everything needed for the job.
Very easy to install! I believe etrailer rating the difficulty as a 3 out of 10. I would say more like a 1 or a 2. I have a 2020 Jeep Wrangler unlimited. The video on the etrailer site for this hitch used a 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, which had an extra piece that my jeep does not have. Additionally, the instructions that came with the hitch noted that I would have to lower the jeep muffler to install the hitch. This was not necessary.
I think this hitch will serve my purposes well going forward.

I used this hitch for a 3000 mile, three-month trip with several stops during early 2023. This hitch was for a bike rack to carry two bikes. No complaints, worked well.
Was not a direct fit
I received everything, great products
the product was exactly what you said it would be
Awesome product, fit our jeep perfectly
