Question:

Does Item # DR64FR fits the Rubicon model? If not why?

asked by: Fernando F

Expert Reply:

The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DR64FR you were looking at will not fit for your 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon due to your vehicle having the supports welded on to the bumper that block the hitch from being able to contact the frame of your vehicle.

Due to this you will need to go with the Curt # CU74FR instead as it mounts in a different way which allows it to work with these supports.

If you will be towing a trailer with your Gladiator you will also need a vehicle wiring harness # C56407, along with a ball mount # C45030, 2" hitch ball # 63845 or 2-5/16" hitch ball # 63847, and hitch pin and clip # C21500.

I included a link to the written instructions of the # CU74FR for you to take a look at.
