Best 2016 Jeep Cherokee trailer hitches

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.

I'm very happy with this hitch. Shipping was quick, price was great, and the hitch was easy to install by myself. I watched the installation video and followed the process. I was most impressed that the holes on the hitch matched exactly with the holes in my car's frame and the process to pull bolts through the frame worked perfectly. Ready to go fishing??

Good solid hitch, but a REALLY tough install. I have installed several hitches from etrailer and this one was especially tough for several reasons: First, the neither the directions nor video accounted for a dual exhaust muffler(standard.on our 2016 Cherokee Latitude), the chrome exhaust trim or removal of additional screws necessary to drop the exhaust. Second (and most critical), the fit was so tight on the frame I had to jack the hitch up to allow the weight of the car to press it up into the frame. The guide wire for the side bolt became helplessly pinched, making it virtually impossible to access that bolt. FINALLY, after all this, the hitch is still not 100% level; it has a slight tilt to the right!! It should not be this tight of a fit, a d I hate the fact that it's not sitting level!!! Very disappointed.

I was a bit concerned at the beginning on whether or not I could successfully install a hitch on my new Jeep Cherokee. When I saw the installation video you offered there didn't seem to be anything that would prevent me from installing it. I was right ! The hitch actually arrived a day earlier than expected, late in the week and by that weekend I had it installed. The video, ( which YES I watched several times before beginning ) explained exactly what to expect. Your video indicated it was the closet thing to a factory install. That is exactly what I found. Because it was my first time installing a hitch it took me and a friend just under two hours. The results were definitely worth it. Thanks for the great product and all the additional assistance.

Very happy with the hitch. Took me longer to install than the estimated time (2 hours) but I am 65 and so is my helper (wife). The directions were perfect. I purchased this so I can put a bike rack on my jeep.

very bery easy to install. etrailer gave me all the tools i need(besides a socket wrench and socket ofcorse) but the screw wires which i was worries that it didnt come with, was included with the package!

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.

Product was easy to find and order. I was able to tract the order with ease with the online tracking system. The part was shipped within a reasonable time and was exactly the part i need and it fit great. I will order again and i will recommend to friends and family.

I added this trailer hitch and the matching wire harness to a 1999 Jeep Cherokee and could not be happier. This was a great value all the way around, shipping, product quality, fitment, and cost. The installation hardware included was more than comprehensive and it all worked perfectly. The videos produced by the firm were easy to follow, very helpful, and complete. This set up is exactly what I was hoping for and will make my future move considerably less expensive by allowing me to rent a trailer rather than a truck for at least half of the move. Thanks etrailer.com for a very high quality product at a tremendous value. Outstanding service!!!!!!!!

Had this hitch installed on my 2021 Jeep Cherokee Limited. Has been completely rock solid the entire year it's been installed. Have towed cargo and motorcycle trailers with no issues whatsoever. Very much like that it's pretty much hidden under the bumper of the Cherokee.

From order to delivery, it was great. Delivered quickly and was just as described. Instructional video was very helpful and informative to get the job done without any issues. Would recommend to anyone looking for a hitch receiver

My experience has been great. The product is of very good quality. Delivery was fast and installation was simple. I had sold my truck and needed to have a way to haul various lumber items. A trailer was my choice. My purchase was for the Jeep Cherokee. My grandson had purchased a hitch some time before I did and he was pleased as well so it made my shopping easier. If you need a hitch, etrailer is an excellent source. I think you'll be happy.

The quality of the receiver is good. The installation was difficult due to the fact that the bolt holes on the receiver and the holes on the frame of the Cherokee did not line up perfectly. The bolts with the two plates designed to hold the receiver in place while you tighten all the other bolts did not line up making the installation very difficult

It installed the exactly how the video show it. It's built nice a heavy would highly recommend this product to anyone.

Great project, instructional video was very helpful

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.

This is a quality hidden mount hitch receiver. It was delivered super fast. Their recommend installation link had a place local to me. Lines of Lehigh valley in Quakertown. Perfect installation in a short time. My friend asked me to get an estimate for their car and they are also buying an etrailer and having it installed by linex as well. It looks great on our Jeep Cherokee

I think you suck... I called and told you guys this was the wrong one but you insisted it was correct. After many hours for fighting I brought it to a professional who again verified that the hitch was incorrect for my vehicle. So now that im balls deep into this shit show, they had to just make it fit and will have to fabricate my trim pieces to go around my tail pipes.... I will never do business with you again. Guaranteed fit my ass and the video needs updating as well...

The hitch install was as simple as could be. My Cherokee had none of the options that would challenge the install like def reservoir, dual exhaust or spare tire. It took longer to set the torque wrench than it did to bolt it in place. Super simple, super easy. High quality and I like the look of the round tubes over the square one. Very happy!

I purchased a hitch for our 2013 Jeep Cherokee. I ordered on-line; and after receiving my confirmation - I noticed I made a mistake. I called customer service and they fixed the mistake immediately. The hitch arrived ahead of time; and I nstalled it in about 10 minutes. The wiring harness was a little more time consuming; but not difficult. Although; the ground wire was a little short; I had to splice in an additional length of wire. Overall; a very good experience - this is my second purchase; and would continue to buy from etrailer.com again.

Installed flawlessly on 2015 Jeep grand Cherokee and looks great. Didn’t event have to jack up car. Haven’t towed anything yet it but sure it will work fine

Installation on my 2015 Durango was a breeze! Looks great and works great! Using it currently for a bike rack for 2 e-bikes.

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.

Absolutely Perfect! Used it on my new Subaru Outback. Pulled an aluminum 12'L x 5'w trailer with 5 gallon buckets filled with cement 2,600 miles without any problems. Happy about purchase & Company

I have had this trailer hitch for a year now and am very happy with its quality. The paint has held up through the winter months and the functionality of the hitch is excellent. We had a local auto garage install the hitch and are very happy with it.

I have been looking for a hitch for awhile now and then I came across your web page. I have seen Draw-Tite hitches on quite a few vehicles. So I went on to do a little research and to read quite a few of the reviews on this hitch here. After reading the reviews and the price of the hitch at that time I decided that I had found the hitch for my 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan Crew. I placed the order and the next day received a message that my order had shipped. The box arrived very quickly after I placed my order which was a pleasant surprise. One side of the box was really tore up and the hitch had come free of the strapping inside the box. The only thing inside the box was the hitch with the tongue/receiver wrapped in plastic wrap and the two pieces of cardboard that had come free. I search the inside of the box for some instructions but did not find any at this point so I would know exactly which bolts to take out. The first thing I did was to jack up the back of my van so I had a little more room to work underneath where the hitch was to go. Then I took off the passenger side rear tire to give me better access to the bolts that had to come out for the hitch and for the exhaust system to be lowered. I then took out the five bolts for the hitch and had to take out the three bolts holding up the exhaust to give me room to install the hitch. Then came the hardest part of the whole process and that was getting the hitch up to a point where I could get a bolt started. I tried using the exhaust system to help me but was still having a problem. So I got a cinder block I had in the garage and put it under one end of the hitch which was a better platform and really helped me getting the other side started. From that point on it went really well getting the other side started and then all five bolts in and tightened down. I then stepped back to see what it looked like and at this time I saw something white deep in the hitch receiver/tongue. When I pulled it out I noticed it was the instruction I had looked for earlier. It would have been nice to have these when I first started. A suggestion would be to put a notice on the plastic wrap that is wrapped around the receiver/tongue of the hitch that states "Instruction Enclosed" or "Packing Slip Enclosed" or just tape them to the inside of the box, not hidden inside a wrapped receiver/tongue of the hitch. I then went back and torqued the five bolts to what it stated on the sheet I found. I then put the three bolts back in the exhaust system to get it back in place which basically completed the installation of my Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch.

We have had the hitch for a year. Only use it for the bike rack as we do not want to tow with the mini van. Hauled 4 bikes to the beach easily and quietly. Assembled as directed and fit in place easily. Satisfied with the product.

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!

I watched the video etrailer's provided, and sure enough it was as easy as the video said. I installed the hitch by myself. On my 2004 JG Cherokee I was able to lay under the back end width wise. By doing this I was able to hold one side up and screw 1 bolt in while hold the other side up with my knees. After you get one bolt in on both sides its a wrap. Only hard part was the two bolts that are under the bumper. If you have swivel ext than no problem. Thank you much etrailer.com!!!

Etrailer, has not let me down. This hitch fits perfectly, anad the one i purchased for my 2015 cherokee did also. Great product, great company, will keep coming back.

Super easy installation! Step by step YouTube videos provided by etrailers were extremely helpful.

Came 2 days early, didn't take my money till they ship it. Plus I never like to order anything online because I'm afraid it won't fit. But they said it would an it did( 2016 chevy traverse). Also it says 45 mins to install. Sounds About right 10 mins asking the wife an kids to help hold it up with no luck, 10 mins looking for my tools 18mm & 3/4 wrench,10 mins looking at the picture of the instructions because what GUY really reads it? lol, 10 mins putting it on by myself laying on my back in the driveway using my leg to hold it up & 5 mins putting on 1 bolt by the muffler because I didn't read the instructions an lower the muffler out of my way hahahah. P.s is you have soft hands I suggest wearing gloves an waiting for the muffler to cool off because i didn't ??. But all in all it was easy & fast to put on even if your by yourself. Definitely ordering again if I need anything for her car. Thanks etrailer

I blindly ordered a Draw Tite receiver for my 2011 Acadia - based upon reputation. Had it installed and it cost me $100 do have it put on. Recently weather allowed me to proceed to installing my long term (CURT) 2 inch Ball bar with 2 inch ball into the Draw Tite receiver for work needing to be done and found that it would not allow inserting unless use of sledgehammer. I attempted to file down the misaligned (welded on) collar that was forcing the misalignment and was not able to make to make it work. Nichole at etrailer worked with me and replaced the Draw Tite receiver and I found the replacement was properly aligned and my Ball bar does now fit properly. So - presently had over double the cost for the defective unit and replacemetn that I should have. Being 82 year old I can no longer perform the task of handling this work.

Etrailer, has not let me down. This hitch fits perfectly, anad the one i purchased for my 2015 cherokee did also. Great product, great company, will keep coming back.

Quality product that was installed with no problem by a local body shop. One hour installation charge. Minimal cutting of trim on my 2015 Patriot.
