Question:
I got a gladiator I was wondering, how could I install one or what I need
asked by: Nick
Expert Reply:
Hey Nick! The Curt # C74DR and # CU74FR are both designed to fit the 2020-2026 Jeep Gladiator. Both have a bolt-on installation but the # CU74FR will be much easier to install compared to the full hitch. This has a max gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs and tongue weight of 500 lbs.
If your Gladiator is equipped to tow more and you need the higher capacity, or if you want to use a weight distribution hitch, you need the # C74DR instead. This hitch is rated for weight distribution and has a max gross trailer weight of 7,500 lbs. I added installation videos for both hitches below so you can see what the process is like.
What year is your Gladiator and what do you plan on using the hitch for?
