Rugged, Matte Black Finish
The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.
etrailer Technical Support
At etrailer we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch. The technicians at etrailer perform hitch installations on a daily basis, making them a valuable resource for do-it-yourselfers.

2018 jeep Grand Cherokee
My 2018 Grand Cherokee didn’t have a hitch. This system it tight to the bottom of the bumper kinda looks stock. I really like the round tubes it mad from, a lot nicer then the square tube I had on 2012 Grand Cherokee. It’s still rust free makes the back of the truck look tough!! I would Recommend it to anyone

Still looking good, and performing well. Would recommend this product and buy another one for a future vehicle.
by: M Gabriel04/11/2023
I am very happy with this hitch. It arrived on time and well packed so it wasn’t all beat up before I even installed it. Installation was a breeze and the hitch was a perfect fit. Bolt holes lined up perfectly. It has been a year since I installed it and no signs of rust so far not even on the welds. I live in Florida and I frequently use boat ramps which means a high salt environment. Excellent job on the coating! I am very happy with this product and with Etrailer and I would recommend them without hesitation.

It was an easy installation on my 2022 WK Grand Cherokee. I did that in a shop (where I work) like 8 mins w/second pair of hands but I’m sure you can do it on your driveway. I moved the spec label to the left side avoid dirt and heat from the muffler, lastly make sure you torque it 126lbs!!!

I'm a year in with my E trailer hitch. I installed on my 2013 Dodge Durango RT. Installation was simple. Using bolts right from the frame was convenient. Towing has been as expected. Happy with my purchase to upgrade my durango.
by: Zac 04/08/2024
Worked at multiple custom/accessory shops and this has to be the easiest hitch ive ever installed. Did it by myself in about 6-8 minutes, no jack needed. Just a 13/16 socket and a good ratchet
by: James05/08/2024
Fit was a little snug and needed to use a floor jack to get the last bolt in place but otherwise an easy installation.
by: Keith L11/16/2023
Bought this hitch from etrailer mainly for bike rack and some light trailer hauling. I thought the hitch might be more noticeable after installed, but it tucks in under the bumper nicely and looks good. I've bought several items from etrailer.com over the years and am always satisfied with their products and fast shipping.
by: Christopher 03/29/2024
Great look and simple to install, without a hitch jack, just have a friend install in minutes. Would be nice if they send the swivel adapter to use to avoid the pan on bottom. But great purchase in happy with

Hello,
I bought the hitch below and installed according to instructions and it seems to sit low/awkward on my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Can you please advise as to why? I may have received the wrong hitch?
See pic attached.
Look forward to hearing from you!

by: Andrew07/29/2023
Hitch seems to be of great quality. Word to the wise, be careful torquing your M14 bolts to the specifications in the instructions provided with the hitch. It must be a little too high. One of my M14 bolts broke while torquing to the instructed 126 ft lbs. Now I'm having to figure out where to go to get the broken bolt removed etc... Providing a three star review as I feel the instructions may need to be reviewed and changed.

Ordering was seamless. Great communication from George and Carol! Hitch fits well and looks good on the back of the Jeep. Install was easy. Literally, less than 30 minute install.
Thanks again folks at e trailer.

Perfect fit, easy install, works great. Pulled a u-haul trailer about 3000 mi on freeways, in cities, on small roads and on gravel roads to campsites - worked perfectly.

- Curt vs. etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2023 Dodge DurangoThere is just a single difference between the Curt and etrailer trailer hitches that fit your 2023 Dodge Durango, which is the finish. The Curt has a glossier finish than the matte black finish of the etrailer hitch, so you can choose which you prefer. The hitches that fit your '23 Durango are the following part numbers: - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98901 - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13182 The matte black finish is nice as it hides the inevitable dings, scuffs and scratches...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Install 7-Way on 2021 Dodge DurangoWe can help you install a 7-way on your 2021 Dodge Durango but since your vehicle did not come with the factory tow package you will need to start with a 4-way like the # C56336 which is a confirmed fit and then use a 7-way adapter like the part # 37185 if the trailer does not have trailer brakes or part # ETBC7. Then for a brake controller the Brake EVN # TK63VR would be a great option. Your trailer hitch from the 2017 Durango would also fit your 2021 like the part # e98901.

You'll also need trailer wiring like the part # 118727 so that you can control the trailer lighting as well. Since you wanted to do 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...

All of the trailer hitches we currently carry will sit below the rear fascia so the only difference you'll really see between the options we have is going to be the finish on the receivers. Of the three options I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98901 since it has a matte black finish that...

This hitch features a bolt-on installation and a matte black powder coat finish. The finish gives it a nice OEM look and does a better job hiding dirt and scratches compared to a glossy finish. The hitch comes with a limited lifetime warranty and is made in the USA. Since you will be towing you're also going to need wiring.

This will install using the factory mounting bolts already on your Durango. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56336 will give you a 4-way flat connector. This is the most commonly used connector on smaller utility trailer and boat trailers. If you are going to tow larger trailers with electric brakes like a car hauler or camping trailer you will need our 7-Way Kit # ETBC7 along with...
view full answer... - Torque Wrench Recommendation for Installing Trailer HitchWe offer a nice 100 ft/lb capacity 3/8 inch drive torque wrench from Performance Tools that's rated for 10-100 foot lbs as part # PT87ZR, but unless you regularly do automotive work you might be better off borrowing a wrench from a friend or neighbor. Some auto parts sores will loan or rent tools, which is a good alternative. A beam-type torque wrench like # PTW3001C would be a less expensive alternative, but I'd personally avoid those as they're not terribly accurate.

Also, if your spare tire is larger than 18", it will not be able to be stored under the vehicle.

view full answer... - Recommended 7-Way Connector for a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee w/out the Factory Towing PackageTo install a 7-Way harness on your, 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee without the towing package, you will need two separate wiring harnesses because they don't make just one that'll do the job. The first harness you'll need is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C62VR. This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your Jeep's wiring harness, which is located behind the tail lights. This will provide you with a 4-flat connector. The second harness you will need is the Universal Installation...

view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a SpoilerThe trunk mount bike rack I recommend for your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a spoiler is the Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack # Y02638 since it's the nicest one that is compatible with your spoiler. This is a hanging style rack so if any of your bikes lacks a horizontal top tube you'll need to pick up an Adapter Bar # Y02531. With that being said, the straps will still make contact with your spoiler so with prolonged use there is a chance the straps can cause damage. Because of this I recommend...

This not only tends to withstand scratches from road debris better, but it typically matches the trim on vehicles better as well which means you'll be getting a durable hitch that looks great.

We actually have two that fit the EcoDiesel models of the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. They're made by Draw-Tite who owns Reese now. Which one you need will depend on whether or not your Grand Cherokee Limited has the cut out in the rear bumper. I have listed both options below: With the Cut Out- Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch item # DT38MR Without the Cut Out - Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch item # 75713

This hitch is a direct bolt-on fit with no cutting or drilling required. It installs under the rear bumper. There are no options which install behind the cutout unfortunately. Then for the wiring, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118727 which does not require any splicing and provides a 4-way flat connector.

Flawlessly. Towing a kayak trailer. Looks better than a lot of other jeep hitches I’ve seen.
