Specs:
The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.
At etrailer 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. The technicians at etrailer perform hitch installations on a daily basis, making them a valuable resource for do-it-yourselfers. The one-on-one, personal service you'll receive comes straight from an expert in the towing and automotive field. We've installed it, we've wired it and we've towed with it, so whatever your question, we can answer it.

This fully welded trailer hitch bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. 9" Long receiver tube helps get bike racks and cargo carriers past your spare tire. Durable matte finish resists rust and creates a rugged look.We purchased this second hitch for our new jeep because we were so impressed with the first. Easy to install and very well built!
Great product just as advertised. I appreciate the video showing how to install. Installation was smooth.

Great, no problems. Transferred hitch to my new RV and I’m still using it.
Very easy installation on the Jeep Wrangler JL 4 door. Instructions suggest lowering the muffler . I did not find that step necessary. Plenty of clearance to insert the mounting bolts through the frame.The hitch is well constructed.
Excellent product, poor installation instructions. I have included the photo of the part that had to be removed before I could install the hitch - despite emailing prior to purchase to ensure an exact fit, there was no instruction to remove that part. Once that part was removed, fit was perfect. No need to temporarily remove exhaust, despite recommendation in directions. The vehicle is brand new, Rubicon 4xe. I will only use the hitch for a bike or luggage carrier, but it is heavy duty and would handle more that the Jeeps towing capacity

I researched and found that there is install note that needs to be added to the manual. Some models may have existing bolts attaching a plate with weldnuts on it. The hitch will need to be slid inbetween the bracket and the mounting tube witht he factory hardware reinstalled, securing the hitch.

Product is working great - heavy duty enough to tow a 3,500 pound little camper. Towing limitation is the Jeep, not the hitch!
Accompanying instructions a little vague... in particular not mentioned that the two existing Jeep bolts to be re-used have captive nuts, so no amount of grunt work with a wrench will shift them - not entirely obvious as you lay on the ground under the Jeep trying to loosen. Also, Jeep bolt heads are 18mm and the two supplied bolt heads are 3/4", both requiring shallow sockets when using a torque wrench due to proximity of Jeep exhaust silencer (assuming this is not dropped to provide more working space). Some filing of the receiver holes needed to get Jeep bolts back through. Once installed, feels secure and looks good.
etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver is extremely well made and heavy duty. All the holes line up and the bolts are just the right size.
It's a great looking hitch and I would highly recommend this one for your Jeep.
I read the reviews paying close attention to the fact that I had a Jeep Wrangler with the tire on the rear. I chose this one because it said it would fit and allow bike racks with the tire in place. Item arrived and I easily installed it with no effort at all. Nothing had to be removed unlike the instructions. The picture below is minutes after installation. My Thule 4-bike rack would not slide into place as it was not long enough of a mount which is contrary to what the description said. I reached out to etrailer and was told that I could purchase an extender for $XX dollars more than what I bought the mount for. I contacted a local trailer supply store that had an extender for a lot less money and now it works......
Ordered hitch for 2017 JEEP Wrangler JL Rubicon. No Major issues. One person installation less than 1 hour with beverage break.
Installation was somewhat easy. Minor issue with installation of passenger side outermost bolt. Possible Jeep manufacturing issue on frame drilling probable. No issue with hitch; ample clearance of bolt holes. Slight resistance. Issue resolved: Finger tight turned in with wrench no damage to threads. No need to disconnect rubber supports for exhuast for this model (per the instructions). Torque specifications require 110 ft pds to complete installation. Recommend lift to complete this. Not probable on your back.
The hitch is well-made and fits perfectly. I needed to drop the muffler to complete the installation as the bolts could not be fed into the holes. The videos mention that that probably wouldn't be necessary. I needed to find a video on YouTube showing how to drop the muffler. This install was made a little tougher crawling under the jeep and squeezing into the tight spaces. I used a motorcycle jack to hold the hitch in place while I got the bolts in. If you have access to a lift the installation would be a breeze. The install took less than an hour even with the extra steps.
I needed a hitch receiver that would fit my 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK and extend far enough that I could use by Kuat Sherpa 2.0 platform bike rack and clear the spare tire. This hitch worked perfectly and was an easy install.

Exactly what I needed. I have used on many times and could not be more pleased with the hitch
You can only use two new bolt sets that come with kit, 2020 Jeep Sahara has extra plate that bolts need to be removed and reused along with two new bolts sets.

Working perfect
Once I figured out the alignment of the bolts it was simple. The 2018 JL has two bolts and a bracket that are already there. U loosen, slide the hitch between the bracket. I reused the 2 stock bolts and used the 2 new bolts. Looks great! Total time for install about 40 mins with torque n the bolts. Havent used it yet but will let u know if there are any issues.

Some models will have existing hardware and a spacer installed in the hitch installation location. If your Jeep has these parts, you will want to remove the bolts and spacer, keeping the bolts for re-installation with the trailer hitch.
Love the hitch. It was a tad snug when installing but is a rock solid product. I'm very happy!
Etrailer is very reliable. I have had nothing but good service and our products always arrive timely and when expected. I highly recommend e trailer to anyone looking for great service.
Installation was easy without issue, hitch appears substantially more robust than the factory one.
Received the hitch in the morning, we installed it that afternoon. After watching an installation video from the etrailer website, my husband installed the hitch on my 2020 Jeep Wrangler JLU. It took him about an hour to complete. We bought the extended length hitch. The product fit perfectly and no need to remove the muffler.
Like mentioned in previous posts, on my 2019 Moab, the two outer bolt holes have an L bracket attached already. The nuts are welded onto that bracket so no need to put a wrench on those. Slip the hitch between the steel and that bracket using the same two bolts (18mm) you just removed as well as two bolts and nuts supplied (3/4”) for the inner holes. Once again as mentioned by others, I didn’t need to move the muffler and the rubber mallet worked great to tap the hitch to line everything up perfectly.
Love the matte finish. Great quality.
Great service , already installed on 2017 jeep Wrangler .
I wish I could provide a product review. But I was unable to install it given the mounting holes didn’t line up and are out of tolerance to my Jeep mounting holes. I tried to physically return it given I’m only a short drive away and I was told no in-person returns. And it made no sense for me to ship it back when I’m only 30min away. Crazy. About the most inefficient process I’ve ever heard. So, it sits in my garage……
Works great with my 2021 Wrangler Sport. Gives decent clearance past the spare tire. Some rust spots already after one year that need to be touched up, but that’s what salted roads do to stuff in the northern states. Of course, I added the flag plug for extra bumper appeal.
Great trailer hitch. Easy to install. The video on line was a great help as it tells you how to install and what you might run into as having to clear out the holes that the bolts run through. only added a few minutes to the job. Shipping was fast.
Prompt with replies to my questions. Answered each of my questions. Gave me options that would work for what she perceived to be my need. One of the best ONLINE LIVE CHAT EXPERIENCES that I have ever had.
Super easy to install. Looking forward to ordering additional accessories to maximize this product.
Great fit on our 2023 Wrangler Rubicon. I was able to perform the install without removing the exhaust like stated in the instructions.
