Recommended Hitch for a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee w/out the Bumper Panel
Question:
Im looking for a hitch for my 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Your video on your website shows an access panel that is removable but that option is NOT on my Jeep. What type of hitch can be installed if I dont have this removable OEM panel?

Expert Reply:
Since you don't have that access panel in the back of your bumper you will want to use the etrailer Hitch item # e98901. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee with included hardware. This hitch bolts to the bottom of your Jeep's frame and has the receiver sticking out right below the rear bumper trim.
I have linked the instructions and an installation video below so you can see how to get this hitch set up.
If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C62VR and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
