Which Hitch Will Fit a 2021 Jeep Wrangler EcoDiesel

Published 09/11/2021

Question:

Hello, I am looking for a receiver hitch for my jeep. The eco-diesel has a DEF tank mounted under the frame at the back end of the jeep on the drivers side. Do you have a hitch that will work for my jeep? Thanks

Yes. You're going to want to use the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # DT78MR, which is a confirmed fit on the 2021 Jeep Wrangler JL EcoDiesel. This hitch has a small footprint and attaches to the frame directly under the spare tire, so the DEF tank won't interfere. According to some previous installation information we've obtained you'll gently pull down on the diesel canister to get extra clearance to complete the installation.

I've linked the written instructions for this hitch for you to check out as well. If you're going to be towing a trailer with this hitch then you'll also need trailer wiring, as well as a ball mount, hitch ball and hitch pin; I've also provided links for our selections of those parts for you to check out.
