Chances are the bolts are not the incorrect size. The weldnuts are very prone to corrosion. Be sure to clean the weldnuts first with a penetrating oil and a wire brush, in some cases a tap may be needed to clean the threads.

Got what I ordered snd transactions went smooth



by:

It fit, no problem! Had it on about an hour after drop off.



by:

2nd order from Etrailer. Excellent experience.



by:
2004 Jeep Liberty

The bolts that came with the hitch were to big for the holes but other than that it was easy to install.



by:

Hitch is nice, but video was a little misleading as to time. I had to chase my threads with a tap and oil.



by:
2004 Jeep Liberty

Great quality and good fit with the mounting holes provided on the vehicle.



by:

Bolted right up, but had to remove right rear tire to tighten up middle bolt with 19mm boxed end wrench, exhaust was in the way so I couldn't use my impact. Very fast shipping,customer service was great.

Well put together, the etrailer.com customer service is great. The best prices I found anywhere too. I look forward to towing something.

2003 Jeep Liberty

This product is great and I can't wait to put it on. It was a very good price and I got free shipping. I ordered it Monday night and it came on Thursday. I was very surprised and very happy! I will check etrailer before any other site thank you!



by:

Good product, excellent directions. poor packing, hitch almost fell out of the box because there was no padding.



by:
2018 Jeep Liberty

I just received the hitch for a 2006 Jeep liberty. It came undamaged with bolts and washers well packaged. You tube video was very informative. All bolt holes lined up & screwed in perfectly and the product is very well built with good welds and good powder coated finish. The shipping was quick and communication immediate.

Watch out for the existing 18 mm bolts on frame; weird size !



by:
Jeep

This was EASY !!! It fit perfectly and bolted right up. I spent more time washing under the Jeep than I did installing the hitch.



by:
2005 Jeep Liberty

Bolt holes line up well. I had a heckuva time getting the bolts in. It's hard to know if that is because the welded in nuts have just "swollen" from corrosion and this was the difficultly or if the included bolts in the kit are ever so slightly oversized or something.



by:

Arrived right on time, with all the items together. Videos on the site made it a snap to install. Had the hitch done in 45 minutes and the wiring in another 30. Thank you!!



by:

I followed the instruction video by prepping the bolt holes the day before. The hitched showed up this morning and I was towing my trailer 40 minutes later. GREAT service and easy insulation!



by:
2007 Jeep Liberty

I got a trailer hitch and wiring harness for a 2007 Jeep Liberty. The products were shipped quickly and customer service was great. Instructions were included that made the install go very smoothly (in addition to videos on youtube). I would not hesitate to purchase from etrailer again.



by:

Great customer service and follow up by etrailer personnel. I had some difficulty on the installation from the ground without putting the vehicle on a hoist or ramp. The overall experience was great, the instructions, video and website information was very helpful.



by:
2006 Jeep Liberty

Hitch was just as described, it lined up perfectly. Super fast shipping. One problem - enclosed bolts were too large. I needed the hitch on to be able to pick up our new camper, couldn't what to have replacements sent, so I just went to Lowe's to buy the correct bolts. otherwise a great transaction

Love It!2006 Jeep Liberty. Ordered hitch, came super fast. Gas station guys put hitch on in less then 15 minutes, and they didn't even charge me! Perfect fit, couldn't be happier. Had to order the Hitch Adapter to fit my 1 1/4 thule bike rack that I got from my brother's friend, but that's okay cuz I saved money all around!!
When things go this smooth I'm a happy person!

    For a hitch to tow a 3.7k trailer on your 2005 Jeep Liberty the Curt hitch part # 13044 would be a great option has it has a 5k trailer towing capacity. You would need to check the owners manual of you vehicle to determine what is Jeep's towing capacity for your vehicle and stay under the lower of the two figures. For trailer wiring you would want the part # C55382 which is also a confirmed fit. I attached install videos for this and the hitch. If you wanted to do some towing you might...

  • Which Years of the Jeep Liberty Will Take Curt Trailer Hitch 13044
    Sorry to hear about your 2005 Jeep Liberty going to that used car lot in the sky. As for Curt trailer hitch # 13044, it fits the 2002 to 2007 Jeep Liberty. Whomever buys will also need some accessories if they plan to tow. You can point them right to us! I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK2EL. It comes with a ball mount, interchangeable ball set, a pin and clip, and a storage bag. And for trailer wiring use # 118524. I have linked instructions and videos for the hitch and wiring.

  • Recommended Ball Mount for 2004 Jeep Liberty with Spare Tire
    I have a great solution for you. To bridge the necessary gap in order to clear your Jeep's spare tire, I recommend using the Brophy Ball Mount # BM20. This is designed specifically for situations such as yours and has a length of 13-1/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole. I have attached a video demonstration of this ball mount for you to check out. If you do not already have a trailer hitch installed on your 2004 Jeep Liberty, I recommend the...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2002 Jeep Liberty
    Your 2002 Jeep Liberty is suitable for light duty towing and installing a trailer hitch, wiring, and using the appropriate accessories would be the way to go in my opinion. Also, if you go with a hitch you will be able to use other accessories in it after the move such as bike racks or cargo carriers. Check the Jeep owners manual for its towing capacities before towing. Curt trailer hitch # 13044 is the most popular option for your Liberty. I have included a link to a video showing installation...

  • Recommended 7-Way Wiring for 2005 Jeep Liberty without Tow Package
    We do have what you need to install a fully-functional 7-Way on your Jeep Liberty, however there is not a direct plug-and-play option like what you are looking for that would allow you to plug your existing 7-Way to a factory port on your vehicle. In order to install a 7-Way, you will want to start by adding a 4-Way connector. I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118524. This custom harness will install by plugging into factory ports behind the driver and passenger...

  • Correct Trailer Wiring Harness for 2007 Jeep Liberty
    That must have been an old video because the # 118382 harness has been discontinued since 2011. The current harness that fits your 2007 Jeep Liberty is from Tekonsha which is under the same parent company as the Tow Ready harness. The correct part number is # 118524. I've linked an install video for you here. If you also need a trailer hitch for your Jeep I recommend part # 13044 and we also have a ball mount kit using part # 989900.

  • What is the Distance Between the Mounting Holes on the Curt Hitch for a 2003 Jeep Liberty
    The distance between the mounting holes that is on the Curt Trailer Hitch # 13044 that you referenced is 37-3/4 inches. This Curt Trailer Hitch # 13044 is confirmed to fit the 2002-2007 Jeep Liberties and should work well for your 2003 Liberty Renegade. Occasionally during shipment a hitch will get slightly bent, in this situation it is okay to bend the hitch back with a floor jack, vise, or an open stairwell. However, if any visible signs of stress are on the hitch such as creases or...

  • What can I do to Reduce Sag on my 2007 Jeep Liberty by Towing my Trailer
    If your Jeep is sagging, an adjustable ball mount is probably not going to be the cure. The best thing would be to use a weight distribution system if you have a 2 inch hitch. I see that you have ordered the Curt Class III hitch, part # 13044, from us and I assume that is what you have on your 2007 Liberty. This hitch cannot be used with a weight distribution system. It has a 500 pound tongue weight and 5,000 pound gross towing weight capacities. Since Curt does not provide a weight distribution...

    We have a Class III trailer hitch from Curt that is confirmed to fit your 2006 Jeep Liberty Sport, but it's not the Curt hitch part # C13902. The Curt Class III Hitch that fits the Jeep Liberty is part # 13044. Although the Curt hitch you referenced part # C13902 is rated for more tongue weight it does not increase the tongue weight capabilities of the Jeep.

    A hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13044 is a custom-fit for the 2007 Jeep Liberty. Hitches for the Liberty were not designed with the Ford Ranger in mind, and will not fit your 2001 Ford Ranger. If you would like to add a hitch to your 2001 Ford Ranger, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13019. This hitch was specifically designed for your 2001 Ford Ranger and will fit all models.

    A longer ball mount in a hitch like the Curt part # 13044 which is confirmed as a fit for your 2005 Jeep Liberty would be what you need. It sounds like you already have a hitch though so for a ball mount the # BH20 has a distance of 13-1/4 inches from the hitch pin hole out to the ball mount hole so it would be a great option. This ball mount has a 2 inch drop/3/4 inch rise so if you need a different rise/drop you would want to check out the link I attached to the page that has all of...

    We have a great bike rack solution for you to get the secure fit you need. However, your hunch is correct about using a bike frame adapter bar with the SportRack Pathway Deluxe 3 # SR2703. The bikes can sway on the rack when using the adapter bar. However, your bikes will be safe if you use a padded adapter bar like the # 64005. This is because the hook that attaches to the bike has vinyl coating to prevent scratches. To eliminate the worry about bike sway on the rack, the best route...

  • Trailer Hitch Fits for 2002 Jeep Liberty Sport
    There are two primary causes for a hitch fit to appear incorrect when you go to install it. If the shipping carrier subjected the hitch to rough handling - one good drop from a truck will do it - the alignment of the mounting flange holes can be off, making it all but impossible to install it without first re-bending it back to its original dimensions. This kind of shipping damage can be hard to detect until you go to mount the hitch. The hitch can look perfect but still be bent. The other...
