Question:
I have the factory tow package, can I install this hitch in place of the factory one? It appears to be heavier duty. I have a trailer with 450 lb tongue weight, and a weight distribution setup. Previously I towed with a chevy colorado, but now I want to use my jeep 4xe, will this work?

Expert Reply:
Yes, you can use the Draw-Tite # DT78MR to replace the factory hitch on your 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe. The Draw-Tite hitch will be rated for higher tongue weight (675 lbs) than the OEM hitch. It will be an easy bolt-on install. I have linked our install video below if you want to take a look.
