Does Bumper Fascia Need Trimming To Install Curt C13269 Class III Hitch On 2015 Jeep Renegade
Question:
Do you have to cut the bumper cover to allow clearance for the hitch? Pictures posted seem to indicate that however the instructions do not mention it.
asked by: Ryan V
Expert Reply:
As you can see in the provided photo, the hitch sits far enough below the bumper that no trimming is required.
If you'll be using the hitch for towing a trailer, you'll need a few other parts. For a trailer wiring harness, use part # 118651. For a ballmount, use # D-28 and # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball or # 63845 for a 2 inch.
I've linked to the install video showing the Curt # C13269 hitch being installed on a 2015 Renegade, and also to a video for the trailer wiring harness. I've also linked to the installation instructions.
