Question:
On the Curt hitch that is 13432 , in the picture and the video the rear bumper shows a cutout where the hitch exits the bumper. Will this fit under the bumper on my 2015 wrangler sport without and mods to bumper. Also I plan on hauling a dirt bike on a carrier that slides in the hitch. Is this hitch strong enough for that? Thanks

The Curt Hitch part # 13432 that you referenced will install on your 2015 Jeep Wrangler Sport without requiring any modifications to the rear bumper. I attached the install video you referenced plus installation instructions for you to check out.
Now for transporting a motorcycle you would need to go with a small trailer since all of the motorcycle carriers we offer are only confirmed to work on hitches with at least a 500 lb tongue weight rating.
For trailer wiring you would want the part # C55124.
If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included to the right that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
