Most Popular 500 lbs TW for 2016 Jeep Cherokee

I bought this hitch a year ago. It fit our 2000 Jeep Cherokee perfectly (my son and I installed it ourselves). I would recommend this hitch if you are in the market for one.

This is my 3rd hitch from etrailer and another great transaction & install. Easily saves 2-3 times of what it would cost to have it done at a shop. The first 2 hitches were installed on newer vehicles, but this recent hitch was installed on a 1997 Jeep Cherokee. The online videos are a lifesaver! The weld nuts on the old Jeep were rusted really bad, but in the video they explain the best way to clean them out and it works. Their wiring kits are fool-proof & super easy to install. I'll continue to use etrailer for all my towing needs.

Lousy install instructions for those with a skidplate especially. Curt obviously never installed one on a 97 thru 2001 Cherokee. The instructions were a revised copy which makes it just seem like no effort was made "Twice" at least. But it looks nice, Made in USA, functional.

Great hitch, like the look over square tube. Install was straightforward and easy, took about 30 minutes. Had a few days and already used several times. Feels very solid pulling down the road.

Awesome product bolted straight on took about 2 hours by myself and a floor jack. Super fast shipping!!!! Really happy with etrailer will definitely do business with them again.

Hitch was very well built. Great welds, and fit my Jeep Cherokee 1816 perfectly. Hitch was delivered very promptly (except for the one day delay of road closure)

Every part of this job was easy . From ordering on etrailer website, to doing the actual job with the help of etrailer help videos.

The matt black finish was just what I needed, looks good.

Fit perfectly! The only thing time consuming was removeing the old reciever hardware so I could install the new ones.

The hitch fits perfectly snug in my 2014 WK2 Jeep (Grand Cherokee). I did lay down 3 solid coats of black paint and 2 coats of clear coat to help prevent factory chipping and thus rusting. I've been putting my Thule bike carrier in and out with minimal wear and tear on the contact points. Great investment and I would do it again.

Excellent purchase.!!!! The installation on my Jeep Cherokee Altitude 2017 took 30 minutes. It looks fantastic and it works perfectly fine.

GREAT website and EASY to navigate to the right part needed! Cheaper prices than I could find on E-Bay too! LOVE THIS COMPANY!! I recently decided to get a new hitch for my 2001 Grand Jeep Cherokee so I started searching on E-bay and found one for a 2001 Jeep Cherokee and ordered it. (FROM ANOTHER COMPANY) Notice I said it was for a Jeep Cherokee. I didn't know that a Grand Jeep Cherokee and a Jeep Cherokee are two different style vehicles so I ended up with the wrong hitch. The order process was confusing. Once that part came in I realized it did not fit and while the company offered me a full refund IF I paid to ship it back I decided to try to sell it on Craigslist as shipping for something that heavy would be a lot! That's when I decided to try to find somewhere else to buy the hitch from and found Etrailer.com. As I said, VERY easy to pick the correct part for the right vehicle, GREAT prices, and quick service! Very happy customer!

So amazed how I was able to track the destionation of the hitch and how quickly it arrived at my doorstep----now my only concern is if I ordered the right one----and I will know that after I get it installed---it looks like a good quality hitch and the price pleased me---I know if I need other items for my Jeep Cherokee this is the first sight I will check----I phoned in my order and the salesperson worked with me and answered all my concerns----Thanks for the great service

I loved this trailer hitch. I installed it on my jeep gran Cherokee because I needed to tow my boat with it and the jeep didn’t come with a hitch. I would definitely recommend this company in the future!!

I did not have any plans to actually haul a trailer so I can't comment yet on how it works to haul a trailer, but I'm sure it will work as is designed... ... However, I purchased it because I became aware of the "Voluntary Recall" from Chrysler because some of the 2003 Jeep grand Cherokees had safety issues because of the potential, that; under certain conditions, when in a rear end collision, in regards to the gas tank, there is a potential for the gas tank getting ruptured and a potentially deadly fire occurring, so I wanted to double-up on preventing that. I decided it was a necessary preventative measure to get this 'Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" '. As far as the quality of the actual product, I would give it a 5 star rating, but instead, I gave it a 4 star rating, because of the inadequate packaging it gets shipped in. I ended up having to get a total of 4 shipped to me for 2 different purchases of this product because of; 1- the 1st one was bent, not so bent that it was obvious, but it just wouldn't bolt-up to the Jeep. I don't know on the 1st one, whether or not it was bent because of a manufacturing issue or from shipping damage. It didn't look bent to the naked eye, but it was. I measured between the mounting holes and discovered it was almost 2 cm off from being equal at opposing diagonal cross-section measurements. The one that it was replaced with, (the 2nd one), bolted right up with no problems and the diagonal cross-section measurements were much closer to being equal. 2- After the Jeep got rear-ended, I wanted to get another new one to install after the body shop repairs get finished for the same safety reasons mentioned above. On this 2nd one, which turned into a 3rd then a 4th one because of shipping damage, as with the 1st one, the shipping damage to the packaging was somewhat severe. The hitch was loose inside of the box and flopping around and part of the hitch was protruding outside of the box... ... Because of that, I was concerned that the Receiver Hitch was probably bent out of proper mounting alignment like the 1st one was. Also, I was not able to get engineering specifications from etrailer.com for the exact measurements between the mounting holes in the Receiver Hitch so I wasn't able to take any measurements to compare. So, just like the 1st one, (the 1st purchase), I returned it for a what would hopefully be an undamaged and not out of alignment or bent replacement, which I did receive. The body shop won't be finished with it for another couple of weeks so I won't know if it bolts up or not, but I'm pretty sure it, like the 2nd one that I got from the 1st purchase order, will bolt-up as it's supposed to. That being said, I am very glad I did get the Trailer Hitch Receiver the 1st time because I was hit from behind by a low vehicle and I think it prevented a rear end collision caused Gasoline Fire and potential serious injury, or worse from happening. Also, the Trailer Hitch Receiver will work quite well for hauling any trailer that the Jeep is legally able to haul and it will work well with a Hitch Mounted Wench or with a Receiver Tow Shackle for when I do go on Four-Wheel-Drive Adventures.

Package arrived in timely manner. Appears to be very sturdy with good exterior finish. Easily installed, I'm sure it will serve my needs.

Hitch did require some modification for 2007 Lincoln MKX. However, everything that we needed was included. Our customers left happy!
