Question:

Which of the class III hitches fit a 2005 Jeep Wrangler TJ Unlimited? Im not sure if there is a difference between the regular TJ and the Unlimited but some of your hitches say the Unlimited is excluded. Thanks

There are 2 Class III hitch options that are a fit for the 2005 Jeep Wrangler TJ Unlimited, Curt round tube Class III hitch part # 13430 or the Draw-Tite Round Tube Class III hitch part # 75193. They both fit exactly the same and have the same capacities.

I recommend Curt Class III Round Tube Receiver Hitch part # 13430 which is one of the options with the high weight capacity and is assembled in the USA. I have attached a video for your reference.

If you need wiring and the TJ has a factory 7-way it can be replaced with part # HM42190. If your TJ does not have a factory 7-Way, you will need 4-way wiring part # 118409. If you need a 7-way and the Jeep does not have one originally from the factory, you will need an adapter part # 37185 to upgrade the 4-way wiring to a 7-way plug.
