Great experience, best online price on this quality hitch, (discrete and looking much better than the model showing the tube running across and underneath the rear bumper) quickly delivered in a very professional packaging.
Thanks etrailer.com!

Thanks for the follow up, and wow! Time flies....I still love the hitch and put it to good use every week about twice a week to take my boat to the ramps among other things.

Its USA made and absolutely great Thank you

This went on a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUMMIT edition. I wasn't sure if it would fit a Summit package, since it wasn't specifically included or excluded. It fit perfectly and was appropriately rated as 3:10 difficulty to install and 30 miniutes install time (as long as you are moderately mechanically inclined. Great solution for bike racks and light towing. Super fast shipping.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee

The Curt C13065 hitch was received quickly and installed in two hours by myself (73 yrs old) using no hoist or even a jack or creeper. Just laid on the double corrugated cardboard shipping box with my sockets and torque wrench. It tucks up nicely out of sight except for the 2 inch receiver. The install went fine and is shown with the Yakima Holdup 2 Y02443 both received quickly from etrailer. Both shown on the back of my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Highly satisfied with both.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Excellent product and very straightforward to install. Opted for the Curt T-Connector C55515 and will have my dealer flash computer to recognize new configuration. Already used hitch with trailer to haul several heavy items up to about 2000lbs with no trouble whatsoever. Should have got this years ago!



by:
2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Great product and great delivery time. Literally installed it in 30 minutes. Can’t wait to put it to good use. The only small issue I have is that the cover for the t-connector wiring harness is for a 4-port instead of the 5-port. Thank you.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Bought this hitch for my 2014 Grand Cherokee to carry my bicycles. Customer service was very useful in completing the order. The order was shipped overseas to San Juan, PR arriving promptly and in excellent condition. I installed the hitch by myself in under 30 minutes without any difficulties. The installed hitch looks great. I'am very happy with this product and my buying experience.



by:

Ordered this particular hitch for my '11 GC because the reviews were good and I wanted one that would be relatively subtle in appearance. It definitely met my expectations - it seems very well built and the only exposed portion is the receiver - everything else sits up behind the rear facia. Installation was incrediably easy too. I added an OEM receiver cover and it looks very clean - almost as if it came from the factory - except I have a full bumper! Included are a few pic's exhibiting what it looks like installed.

2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee

The box it was delivered in was quite destroyed, but no damage to the product, which is excellent. I installed it in 20 minutes, and it looks fantastic. Thanks etrailer!



by:

Bought this hitch as an early Father’s Day gift for my dads 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee ...fit like a glove!! Installation time 10 minutes!!..just a 21mm socket, impact wrench and torque wrench needed.



by:
2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Anyone, and I mean anyone with basic tool skills can perform this installation in approximately one hour. Including installation of the wiring harness. A second set of hand may help holding the assembly in place while bolting it in, but not vital if you ate your Wheaties for breakfast. "Hats Off" to etrailer for making this affordable and a breeze to install. Now off to boating.



by:

Easiest install and very excellent quality. It looks so perfect that this could be a factory hitch. I would buy from etrailer again and again. This makes the family Jeep useful and packing the boat and heading to the wild soon.



by:

I’ve had trouble finding a hitch that would fit around my aftermarket exhaust. 2011 Grand Cherokee V8 with Gibson exhaust that are wider than the stock exhaust. The Draw-Tite was to wide. The Curt hitch was a perfect fit. Excellent quality as well. If you have aftermarket exhaust or just need more clearance the Curt is perfect.

Easy install I’ve ordered a couple Curt hitch’s from etrailer great product always happy. Super fast shipping also.



by:
2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee

I’m no hitch expert but this receiver has been great on my grand Cherokee. I mostly use it to hold a bike rack but good to know I have towing capabilities in the future. E trailers had great info, particularly on the install, so I was able to save some mega bucks by installing myself, without having to cut my bumper. Also, have yet to notice any clearance issues.

2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee

I was in need of a tow hitch and I came across etrailer.com - I was excited to receive my delivery, however UPS delivered my shipment to another address and I had to endure the process of filing a claim and waiting for confirmation and be resent another trailer hitch. When finally receiving my package, the process went smoothly: the videos were a great help!
I had a small hiccup with the wiring, however I figured it out quite quickly.
I would thank all the reps at etrailer.com ( Alley and Toni) that helped me along the way through thick and thin. You all are great assets to the company. I will share your site with all my friends in need.

  • Comparing Curt and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitches For Carrying Bike Rack On 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    Since both the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13065 and the Draw-Tite # 75699 you were looking at for your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee have the same 500lb tongue weight rating and 5000lb trailer weight rating I recommend going with the Curt hitch. This is due to the Curt hitch being made in the USA, and having a tougher powder coat finish which keeps it looking better, longer. Since you will primarily be carrying a bike rack, this hitch is all you will need. It sounds like you already have a bike...

  • Does Computer on 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee have to be Reprogrammed to be Able to Tow
    One of my coworkers has a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee which is the same generation as your 2011. When we went to install a 7-Way trailer connector on it the vehicle did have to be reprogrammed by a Jeep dealer. The Jeep should have the wiring there to add a 7-Way but it would not be fully functional unless the BCM was flashed by a dealership. You will not have to do this if you were to add a 4-Way trailer connector. If you plan on doing some towing in addition to the trailer hitch, # C13065,...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness for 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo
    Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch brands are actually sister companies and the hitches themselves will be identical except for branding. Curt hitches are of similar high quality and all three brands use robotic welding technology for uniform, consistent manufacture. In terms of hitch quality there is no one brand that out-classes the others. What you might consider in addition to price when making your choice is the hitch tongue weight (TW) capacity and the hitch's appearance. Curt hitch # C13182...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    The best hitch for your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited is going to be the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C13065. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Jeep with included hardware. I really like this hitch because the crosstube mounts behind your bumper and is completely concealed. This leaves only the 2" receiver visible which not only offers a better look but also helps with ground clearance. The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C13065 is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 5,000...

    The Curt trailer hitch # C13065 will indeed fit your 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. Like you said, installation is very straight forward with this hitch. I have linked the instructions and a video showing an installation for you. I am certain that you and your husband will have no trouble installing the hitch. The only special tool needed is a torque wrench if you do not already have one. If you need one most auto parts stores will loan out tools so you would not have to buy a torque...

  • Can a Trailer Hitch be Used as a Recovery Point for a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    Yes, you could use Curt trailer hitch # C13065 as a recovery point to get unstuck when doing a little off-roading or muddin'. You could tie off to the safety cable loops on the hitch or what I recommend is to use tow strap loop, # TR63046, since it offers a larger area on which to attach a strap. And if you are in need of a tow strap, now or in the future, I recommend # IMF100014. I have included a link to a video showing installation of the hitch for you.

  • What is the Difference Between CURT Class III Trailer Hitches for a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    The main difference between CURT Trailer Hitch C13075 and # C13065, is the cross tube. On C13075, it has a round tube and the receiver extends straight out from the side of the tube. This requires a bend in the cross tube which makes more of the hitch visible beneath the vehicle. Hitch # C13065 has a square cross tube. The receiver is welded to the bottom of the square tube and this makes only the receiver visible beneath the rear of the vehicle. The rest of the hitch is hidden behind...

    We do not have any installs pics for the Curt Hitch # C13065 on a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude, but we do have install pics on a similar Grand Cherokee. I attached these pics, install instructions and an install video for you to check out. Basically all you would see with this hitch installed is the receiver opening.

If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    I have a solution for you, but the Curt # C13900 is a multi-fit hitch, so it would likely take some modifications and drilling for installation on your 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee. For this reason I recommend instead using the Curt # C13065 which is a custom fit for your Grand Cherokee, so that means no drilling and an easy, bolt on installation to save you time and hassle. This hitch is also a Class III receiver like the C13900 and uses a concealed cross-tube that really gives it a great...

My aftermarket backup camera does have a volume control so the alert noise can be turned off. Otherwise, the only time it should bother you is when the vehicle is in reverse.

    Yes, there are trailer hitches available for the diesel models of the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and yes, we can ship them to Canada! If you want a Curt hitch it is # C13182. And there is a Draw-Tite option as well, # 75713, which is rated a little higher than the Curt hitch but of course you are limited to the capacity of the vehicle.
