Availability of Trailer Hitch that Fits Through Rear Bumper of 2021 Jeep Cherokee Limited
Updated 09/09/2025 | Published 08/31/2025
Question:
I own a 2021 Jeep Cherokee Limited 4x4 3.2. I want to install a tow bar that is similar to the OEM bar that goes through the bumper and needs a bezel to cover the hitch where it comes through. This is my understanding of how it would look if I had the tow package. Do you folks sell a similar tow bar that I would have to cut the bumper and install a bezel to hide the hitch or is that only possible with an OEM tow bar and a new bumper?

Expert Reply:
Hey Bobby, the only hitches we have for your 2021 Jeep Cherokee Limited are ones like the Curt # C13395 that install with the hitch opening below the rear bumper. The only way to have a hitch that comes through the rear bumper like you mentioned would be to check with a Jeep dealer to see if they can get you the parts for that.

Thanks for your reply, Jameson! The OEM bar costs considerably more money. I'll have to decide if the extra few inches of height is really necessary. Probably not. :) Thanks again!
