Rugged, Matte Black Finish

The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability.

In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

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.

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.

I installed receiver hitch on my Jeep Grand Cherokee today and it couldn’t have been easier! Took about 30 minutes and good to go!

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!!!

It’s been a year, I’ve carrying both of my emtb and mtb roughly 100lbs all over everywhere. This things is bulletproof, I re-torque once just to be safe side!!

My trailer hitch receiver arrived, I unboxed it, it looked small so I was kind of leery that it wouldn't fit as stated, but I was WRONG! I don't want to steal the line from O.J. Simpson, but the hitch "fit like a glove!" LoL The next project will be tackling the wiring. With the help of etrailer's installation video...the exact match of my vehicle, I'm sure it'll be fine!

High quality and super easy to install! Arrived a day earlier than expected and took me, literally, 15 minutes to install in my driveway. Couldn't be happier!

2013 Dodge Durango

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:

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:

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.

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!

Package arrived much quicker than anticipated. Product was exactly what I ordered. Easy to install. Looks great on my Jeep Grand Cherokee. Follow up after purchase was wonderful. Thank you to all involved on my purchase. Will defiantly recommend to family and friends.



by:

Great product, fast delivery and great customer service. I installed onto a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Hitch was a perfect fit and it only took about 30 minutes to complete. Primary purpose for this hitch is for a bike rack, but I'm sure it'll get other uses as well.

Torque the bolts to the required torque. That is the most important installation step.



by:

Great quality, beautiful welds on the hitch, would definitely recommend the etrailer brand of hitches to anyone that is looking for a great product. It was a very easy install, it was a direct fit :) It was done in my driveway Without lifting the car up in 10 minutes.

  • Trailer Hitch Fit for 2018 Dodge Durango GT Blacktop With 19 Inch Wheels
    The etrailer brand Class III hitch, part # e98901 fits all models of the 2018 Dodge Durango except for SRT models. I have no way to look up what size wheels your Durango is equipped with, but I found that either 265/60-18 or 265/50-20 were the available stock sizes. As the description states, you won't be able to stow the spare under the vehicle if it's mounted on a wheel larger than 18 inches. You should be able to read the tire size on the sidewall of the spare. If the size ends in...

  • Components Needed To Install A Trailer Brake Controller For A 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    For your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee, you're going to need a flat 4 trailer connector # 118727 and a 7 way trailer connector # ETBC7. From here you can install a trailer brake controller like the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR. This is an excellent option for your Grand Cherokee and will retain a clean factory look when installed, only exposing the control knob. Unlike other brake controllers, this one minimizes all interior bulk, so you wont have to worry about banging your knee on it,...

  • Least Visible Hitch for 2018 Dodge Durango
    The three hitches made for your 2018 Durango include the etrailer model # e98901 which will be a little less visible than either the Curt model # C13182 that you referenced or the similar Draw-Tite # DT38MR. They all have visible crosstubes but the matte black finish on the etrailer model # e98901 makes it blend into the vehicle better than the other two. This hitch has a no-drill install that is rated only 3 out of 10 on the install difficulty scale. Please note that this hitch still...

    Just a single difference exists between the Curt and etrailer trailer hitches for your 2024 Dodge Durango, which is the finish. The etrailer hitch has a matte black finish, while the Curt hitch has a glossy black finish, so you can choose which you prefer. The hitches that fit your Durango are the following part numbers: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13182 - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98901 The matte black finish does hide those inevitable small scuffs a bit better than the...

  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way on 2021 Dodge Durango
    We 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.

    Flat towing isn't cheap so I will do my best to give you good options that are also budget friendly for your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I'm assuming you want to apply the same idea to the trailer hitch. To flat tow your Jeep you will need a tow bar, base plate kit, safety cables, wiring, and a supplemental braking system.

  • Torque Wrench Recommendation for Installing Trailer Hitch
    We 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.

Which one you need will depend on whether or not your Grand Cherokee Limited has the cut out in the rear bumper.

    I believe if the Summit package has a hitch then it has the tow package. But the term "tow package" varies by manufacturer so the best way to tell if your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit has a tow package would be to contact your local dealership, provide your VIN and they should be able to tell you what your vehicle is equipped with.

    The Curt # C13182 and etrailer # e98901 are the same hitch with the exception of the finish. Both of these will fit your 2023 Dodge Durango. The Curt has a glossy finish while the etrailer hitch has a matte black finish. I prefer the matte black since it does a better job hiding inevitable dirt and scratches. If the finish isn't a concern then I would choose whichever has a lower price. If you plan to use the hitch for towing you will also need wiring. Assuming you do not have the factory...
