If you're someone who dreads complicated installations, this Curt Trailer Hitch is a game changer. It features a fully welded design that bolts directly onto your vehicle's frame using existing hardware. This means no need for welding, making the installation a breeze. Many users have noted that they were able to complete the task within 20 to 30 minutes, even without any professional assistance.
Towing isn't just about moving trailers; it's about ensuring that everything stays intact during the process. This hitch is constructed from powder-coated steel, providing exceptional resistance to rust and corrosion. It's designed to last, with a lifetime warranty backing it up. So, whether you're battling the elements or frequent wear and tear, this hitch stands strong.
Whether you're planning to haul a utility trailer or something heftier, this hitch doesn't shy away from the challenge. It supports up to 6,000 lbs of gross trailer weight, and extends up to 7,500 lbs when used with a weight distribution hitch. With a tongue weight capacity up to 750 lbs, it’s perfectly suited for a variety of towing needs, providing flexibility and peace of mind.
Finding the right hitch can be tricky—will it fit your vehicle? Luckily, this hitch is custom-designed for specific models like the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. Several reviews highlight how seamlessly it fits without interfering with the spare tire in the factory location, making it a reliable option for these popular SUVs.
When using a weight distribution hitch, this particular model showcases its versatility by increasing its weight capacity. With ratings adjusted to manage 750 lbs of tongue weight and 7,500 lbs of gross towing weight, it takes on heavier loads while distributing the weight more evenly across the axles, ensuring stable and safer towing dynamics.
Aesthetics matter when you're upgrading your vehicle, and this hitch doesn't disappoint. The gloss black powder coat over a protective base ensures it not only works efficiently but also looks good doing it. This finish provides excellent scratch resistance and UV protection, ensuring your hitch looks sleek and new for years to come.

Great fit and very fast delivery
Excellent Product!! VERY EASY Installation!! Ins in 5 minutes!
great looking hitch design andvery easy to install
Bolted right up without issue. Very easy to install. Perfect accessory for my 2012 Grand Cherokee. Not the first hitch I have bought from etrailer, both were exactly as advertised! Good job etrailer!! Thanks
Ordered the Curt hitch and wiring for my 2011 Durango. Putting the hitch on was as simple as can be. Wiring took about an hour as you need to fish the main black line under the car and into the engine compartment. This is a little difficult in newer cars. Very happy with speed of delivery and how I was kept informed on progress of shipment. Thanks
Easy Peasy! I have a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. Instructions state about 10 minutes to install. It took me about 20 minutes (including gathering my tools, creeper, etc.). Alighment with the existing bolts was flawless. Now how often do things go as advertised? I'm very happy with the installation and end result.
This Curt hitch had the Best installation instructions I have ever seen for ANY product...tool list, time estimate, color photographs, they really took the time and effort in putting that together. As far as the install, there is enough clearancen the Durango to just lay on your back in the driveway. I did not move the spare tire so you will also need an open end wrench as well as the 22mm socket. I had my 15 year old son help and we completed the job in under 30 minutes.
Ordered this for my 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. Installation was simple. Per the instructional video I removed the 4 bolts from the rear frame area of the Jeep, laid out some cardboard to protect the coating on the hitch and my back from the concrete. Lifted into place and secured the bolts. I did this myself, though a second set of hands would have been nice for the initial bolt placement. I towed a small trailer with Kayaks twice last week and all is good! Though it's not integrated into the bumper like the factory hitch, it still looks good and is a lot less expensive. Don't forget the trailer wiring like I did.
Easy to install. Good price, it went on a Jeep Grand Cherokee, works great
Very good price, arrived on time, and seems to be very sturdy. Installation was fairly easily. The R/T model has a plastic heat shield between the exhaust and spare tire that has to be removed to get the hitch in place. To reinstall the shield notches have to be cut out on ends where it meets the hitch mounts to get it back in place. It's held in place by six 10mm nuts and come out and back in easily enough once the notches are cut. With the hitch in place it is a very tight fit getting the spare back in place - I had to guide it and nudge it some while my son worked the winch until it cleared the hitch.

After a year it is working great. The paint is holding up well and still looks brand new.
I needed a trailer hitch for my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Curt trailer hitch receiver is a quality product and looks great. It’s a really good fit underneath the rear bumper. The installation literally took me less than 20 minutes.
I highly recommend this trailer hitch reveiver for easy installation and a good fit.

The Curt trailer hitch receiver was an outstanding purchase and a great fit for my Grand Cherokee.
This hitch I installed myself, it took me maybe 10 mins. Make sure you torque the bolts to spec and you’re good to go. I’ve towed boats, utility trailers, the works. Not a single problem
I did not remove the spare tire to install the hitch on my 2012 Durango although that made it difficult to get the wrench in position. The original bolts were painted and really tough to remove. I called a local mechanic and asked for advice. He suggested cutting a piece of pipe and inserting my wrench handle in that to extend the effective length of the wrench. The additional torque which that idea provided was enough to smoothly loosen the bolts. No hammering, torch, or paint thinner were needed. The hitch was easy to install after that.

I am still using it with no issues. thanks.
I have a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. This hitch just bolted in. It really helps to have a second set of hand only to help hold the hitch in place. Install is 10 minutes after you find your torque wrench. Great instructions.
Even better support from eTrailer.com

How difficult was the wiring? Did ur jeep already have the wiring and you simply need to plug it in?

The hitch has been installed for a year and looks great and works great. The jeep had a factory wiring harness connector but not the factory plug. I purchased the plug and mounted it. The Dealer had to activate the plug and they did that at no charge. I bought the plug from the dealer.

Bryan- can you post a couple pics of what the install looks like from the back of your jeep? Trying to see how tight it fits to the bumper.

What sub model Jeep Cherokee do you have? I have a Summit and I am hesitant about ordering this hitch.
This hitch installed like a dream. Literally took 15 minutes. I did it myself. The video was super helpful and the instructions were straight forward. I love that this hitch doesn't stick out beyond the bumper. I'm very pleased with this product!!

Hi...its great. No issues whatsoever! Love it.
This was the easiest trailer hitch install! Built strong and all around a great experience. I’m using it to pull a 17 ft travel trailer. Will definitely be ordering from etrailer for any of my future towing needs.

After first year, and multiple trips towing our travel trailer to the eastern shore and to the mtns of NC, the hitch receiver has exceeded my expectations. This was the first curt receiver I’ve ever purchased, so in the beginning, I had my concerns being a new product to me. 1 year later, I will purchase Curt products from etrailer from now on. If my recommendation helps anyone with concerns, these receivers are extremely well built and strong. My opinion, best on the market for your hard earned money! And did I mention the install? So simple, had it installed, and torqued to correct spec in half an hour. Literally anyone can do it. Get your hands a little dirty and save some money $$$!
My fiancé installed the hitch at home. 4 bolts and the job was done. No lift necessary. I’ve already got my bike rack attached. Love it!

Great!
Went to the dealership and they wanted $800 to activate the tow lights and another $400 for the trailer hitch receiver installed, for a grand total of $1,200! Purchased the Curt Trailer Hitch receiver for less than $120. Took half an hour to install the receiver and another half hour for the wiring harness. Saved almost $1,000 off the dealership price! A friend recommended etrailer and I am so glad he did!
Very well made hitch. I was also pleased with the delivery process and customer service provided. I use it primarily for our mountain bike rack and it works great. I haven’t added the wiring harness package as yet as I have a Suburban with that ability that I use when pulling our hauling trailer.
Seamless! Instructions say level 1 install in 30 minutes.
Super simple, fits perfectly and installed in my garage in 24 minutes.

Fantastic! Solid as a rock.
Successfully installed on 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. Installed by myself in about 20 min total, the included instructions are sufficient. An extra set of hands would be helpful, but the M14 bolts are long enough that I could hold up the hitch myself and get them started...a little awkward but doable. Installation summary: remove all four M14 bolts with 21mm socket, hold up the hitch to the holes to see if any caulk is in the way (I had to trim caulk near rear bolts on both sides to get hitch to line up properly), raise the hitch to align holes and insert/hand tighten the bolts, tighten with ratchet evenly all around to make sure everything lined up properly, tighten to proper torque.... and you’re done. There is a little more space between hitch and bumper than I anticipated (half inch or so), but now that I look more closely at all the other pictures on the website, mine looks same as all the others. Otherwise, price seemed good for the hitch, fast shipping, feels like solid quality, a couple of dings/scratches on the hitch out of the box, but overall it looked good and nothing I’m really worried about. Haven’t used the hitch yet. I don’t anticipate any issues, but will report back if anything else to add in future.
Wow, just WOW! I've never seen or experienced such great customer service while ordering ANYTHING! Your website made selecting,ordering, and paying for my hitch a breeze. I figured someone would get my order and fulfill it Monday as I ordered it on Sunday. Never thought you guys would get it going so fast and on a Sunday to boot. Thank you.
I've attached some pic's of the order status/tracking with timing to show how awesome my experience was.
I watched your installation video's and was able to complete the install in about 15 minutes. As I have a single exhaust Jeep, I took a picture of the clearance. Pictures also show a before and after. Looks factory. I will be using it mostly for a Thule bike rack and this Curt hitch is spot on.
And the price of the product PLUS free shipping (arrived when stated) was fantastic.
Thanks again to all of you. Please pass on our gratitude for a job WELL DONE!
Outstanding!!!
First, Jeep wanted close to $700.00 to install their factory hitch. etrailer hitch cost me way less, no charge for shipping. It took me 5 minutes to unscrew the 4 bolts on the 2015 Jeep GC. I employed a friend to help me installed the hitch. It took us 5 minutes. It helps to have someone hold up one side of the hitch while attaching to frame. I highly recommend this product. It looks factory installed. Fits perfect under the bumper. Thank you
Great hitch, I wish the video said to loosen up the the screws to the plastic around the spare tire. Broke one side I the plastic. Besides that, it's a great fast fit!!!

Luis, is your Jeep an Altitude?
This was perfect for my 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited X! The install took me about 10 minutes (or less). The whole thing was painless and easy. Just take out 4 bolts, hold the trailer hitch in place and put the bolts back in. The hitch sits nice and tight to my bumper and is barely noticeable. Very happy with everything. As others have said the only thing you will need (for a jeep grand cherokee) is a 21mm socket wrench and an extra pair of hands to help hold it in place while you put the bolts back in.
