Hitch did not mount as described in video. Had to pay extra for shop having to fish for bolts unlike factory hitch. However, after installation hitch works well.

Product is working fine. I use to for a rear luggage rack and it holds everything fine

I didn't actually mean to send the review back. I wasn't exactly sure how to respond to it. I've had great success working with your company in the past and always have received exceptional customer service. This particular order came to me in a very ripped up box with the harness loose in the box missing some of the hardware for it. I don't think it was your fault. It may fall on UPS. However the hitch was not very well packed in the box to begin with so I could see how it could have happened. Overall I've had great luck with your company. I would like to attach a few pictures so you know how I received it.

Oh my goodness! I am sorry that it is missing hardware and had broken through the box. I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you.



by:

The hitch works perfectly and is 5 starts by itself. Removed a stat because it was supposed to come with 6 mounting bolts. Instead i got 5 bolts and a bolt blank that didn’t have any threads cut into it. Apparently quality control was on a break at that time. Otherwise the hitch is great.



by:

Shipping was good product showed up in great condition box wasn’t torn or anything hitch was perfect no scratches anywhere and all parts were received to install hitch including instructions will definitely order from etrailer.com again thanks

2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L

I would not have ordered the hitch except for I was rear-ended and since the body shop had my rear end torn apart it was a good time to put the hitch in. Always enjoy doing business with eTrailer for quite some time. Thank you much for what you guys do. Keep up the good work



by:

Fit and finish is great I just wish it would have the adapter for the seven way pin as once I installed it. It’s kind of cumbersome to have it be in the way, but I would recommend buying this hitch for your jeep grand Cherokee L model for sure.



by:

Second time ordering from etrailer....Received the package earlier than expected...hitch and wiring went together without any issues....video was a big help....looking forward to using it...a big thanks!!

Great quality and sturdy hitch, how to videos made a super simple to install. Took about 4 hrs with wiring to install with normal garage tools.

I had superior service from ETrailer.Com! The order process was very easy, the representative was knowledgeable and friendly, the hitch arrived in two days and I’m looking forward to get it installed on my Jeep tomorrow.

Jeep Grand Cherokee

This hitch is the only way to go. Looks like Jeep original as it replaces the existing Grand Cherokee Limited bumper. etrailer/Curt provides very good instructions for installation. I use mine to hold a bicycle rack but it can provide minimal towing (Class III) capability as well. Great customer service from etrailer.

2022 Jeep WL Grand Cherokee

Instructions are easy to follow. -1 star just because I couldn't use OEM bolts and had to use attached. I don't understand the reason why.

If the manufacturer puts in new hardware in a hitch receiver kit, it is always best to use it because that is the hardware that they have tested their product with. They know that you should be able to torque the half inch hardware to 110 ft lbs and the 5 sixteenths hardware to 178 in lbs.



by:

Great instructional videos on etrailer's youtube channel made installation very simple. Project took 2 hours, but only because my 1.5 year old kept stealing tools and my 3.5 year old wanted to help.



by:
2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Fit perfectly on my 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo (without factory towing package). A little difficult to carefully remove the rear body panels (videos were great), but once you get to it, the old one comes out and new one fits perfectly.



by:
2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L

Good product but handling not great. Box was torn and product chipped down to the metal in multiple places. I was given a paint credit and of course this isn’t the fault of etrailer but really the shipping company. This was my fourth order so i do respect this company and support them.

2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee WL - new body

Installed on a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe and it fit perfectly! The video instructions were extremely helpful.

I wish I had taken photo/video to share, but it would be helpful to update the instructional video to include or show the clips on the back of the fascia that needs to be removed. Overall excellent product and not as difficult of an install as I thought it'd be!



by:

Service was great. Only good experiences with trailer. Hitch was pretty easy if your not afraid to remove before dy parts from your car



by:
2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee WL – new body

I installed the hitch and rear wire harness, I still need to run the 12v supply. I am a retired technician that worked at the Chrysler Tech Center so I am very familiar with doing this type of work. The installation took 1 1/2 hours and had no issues, the hitch and harness are excellent quality and fit perfectly. It is a lot easier to install the wiring with the facia removed. I guess that if I had to complain, they should have a place to screw the wiring module and ground on the hitch itself. The delivery was fast and free and much cheaper than the dealership, I would highly recommend them. Thanks etrailer!

I am happy to read that you are pleased with your purchase! You could try looping the rubber cap through the safety chain loop, or you might like part # 306-X6019 which is a magnetic bracket that you could put on the side of the receiver tube.



by:

I just received the package and I am pleased with the delivery. I'll let you know how the installation went/



by:

etrailer video's made for an easy install, maybe two hours to complete.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch

  • Best Trailer Hitch Receiver and 4-Way Vehicle Wiring Harness For a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L
    I feel the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C96NR is the best option for your 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. This receiver hides behind the removable bumper fascia on your Jeep. That will give it a very clean appearance when not needed and provide for great ground clearance with your hitch mounted accessories. I recommend installing the 4-Way # C27BR when you install the receiver. This is the most commonly used connector on small trailers you might pull. It will also allow for Auxiliary Lights...

  • Is there a Hitch for a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L That Works w/ a 20 Inch Spare Tire?
    No, we do not. There are two aftermarket hitches for the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L and neither one of them will allow a 20" spare tire to be mounted once installed. They are the Curt item # C96NR and the Draw-Tite item # DT42GR. Please note that Mopar makes a hitch for the 2023 Grand Cherokee L as well. It is part number 82219041AA and it does not work with the full size 20" spares either. Out of the two, I recommend the Draw-Tite Hitch item # DT42GR because it has a higher capacity...

  • Difference Between Curt Trailer Hitch Receivers C96NR and C97JR for a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L
    I spoke with Curt about the Curt Trailer Hitch Receivers for a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L, part # C97JR and part # C96NR. The latter is an updated design which was done to offer more fit options. That said, I simply recommend going with whichever option is more cost effective as there is no difference in how they install and operate in regards to a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L.

  • Hitch Receiver and 4-Way Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee WL
    For your WL model, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C96NR. This hitch provides you with 750 pounds of maximum tongue weight capacity and 7,500 pounds of maximum gross towing weight. Also, this hitch comes with a superior outer gloss coat over the base powder coat that provides better protection against rust and corrosion than all of our other hitch brands. This factor allows you to not worry about deterioration. As for the 4-way wiring harness, I recommend using the Vehicle...

  • Which Curt Hitch Fits 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe
    Yes, there is. To add a hitch to a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe you will want the Curt Trailer item # C96NR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Jeep with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 7,500 lbs towing capacity and a 750 lbs maximum tongue weight.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Wiring For A 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe
    Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C96NR is confirmed to fit your 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4XE. I do want to note that we have a tech note stating that this hitch will prevent you from carrying a spare tire larger than 18" under the vehicle though. If you plan on towing a trailer then I recommend also picking up the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK39VR as well in order to transfer your traffic signals to the lights on the trailer.

  • Comparing Curt And Draw-Tite Trailer Hitches For A 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    Since both hitches are rated for higher than the capacity of your 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee the capacity really isn't as important of a factor. The smaller factors like the length of the receiver tube and how the safety chain loops sit would be the deciding factor between the two for me. I prefer the Draw-Tite's # DT42GR chain loops since they are a bit wider and slightly further from the receiver tube so you'll have more space to install your hitch bolt and safety chains. On the other hand...

  • What 3-Bike Rack do You Recommend for My 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L?
    I have a great bike rack solution for you. However, I confirmed with Thule that the Gateway Pro 3 # TH78VR does not fit a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. The only confirmed way to transport 3 bikes on your vehicle is with a hitch-mounted bike rack and hitch receiver. For a rack that offers the same weight capacity as the Gateway Pro 3, I recommend the Swagman Trailhead 3 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # S63365. This rack also comes with a tilting mechanism that allows you to tilt the...

    To add a 7-way to your 2022 Grand Cherokee 4XE you will need to start by adding a 4-way connector. The Curt # C27BR plugs into the connection points behind your tail lights, and will allow you to power the signal lights on a trailer. Once this is installed, you can add a 7-way using the # ETBC7.

    There really isn't a difference between the two Curt hitches that fit your 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L or # C96NR and # C97JR. I would go with whichever is priced better. Now for trailer wiring I would go with the Tekonsha part # TK39VR as it has a much more reliable converter box.
