Difference Between Curt & Draw-Tite Trailer Hitches For 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited  

Published 09/18/2024

Question:

Will the T-One 118786 wiring harness work with a 2018 Jeep Unlimited Sahara (no factory tow package). My son is buying a pop up camper and I need to get everything we need. What is the difference between the Drawtite DT78MR and the Curt 13392 hitch receiver? Thanks.

Hi Ken,

Starting with the wiring harness, I can verify for you the correct fit for the 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited without a tow package is indeed the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118786.

Then for the hitches, the biggest difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13392 and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT78MR is the length of the receiver.

The Draw-Tite has a shorter receiver that can make it a bit more of a pain to add a ball mount to because it's tucked behind the bumper more; so I'd definitely go with the Curt # C13392.

Kyle- Ok thank you for the information. Controller wise, the Prodigy 3 or the Redarc? I just want to be sure of compatibility so the install goes smooth and it works good. Thanks again. Ken

@KenR Both are compatible but I would go with the highly reliable Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195. The only other thing you'll need, in order to get a 7-way, is the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7.

@KyleS - Do you think I would need the 7 pin connector extension? I see a no drill one?

@KenR Yeah, if you don't want to screw the mounting bracket into the fascia, the no-drill bracket is a good add-on, part # 18136.
