I put my trailer hitch to work as soon as I had it installed. It does a good job hauling for me. Very sturdy and looks good too. I recommend this product for anyone looking for a trailer hitch.

I'm very happy with this Curt hitch. It's my second one, actually. First was on my old PT Cruiser; and now this one on my Jeep Renegade. It's strong, paint is holding up well, perfect to mount my bike rack. My mechanic did the install of the hitch on the car, and it went very smoothly ... exactly as per what was shown in one of the Curt installation videos. I'm a happy customer. Recommended to all!

1 year later, and still going strong. Rigid, durable. A tiny bit of surface oxidation around the hitch-to-frame welds, but nothing out of the norm. Im still a two-time happy Curt customer!

The description of the product and instructions need to be changed.
Holes that the hardware goes into need to be larger. Some are in difficult locations.
Not an easy installation and I have installed a number of hitches.

The installation instructions linked on the product page do state that several of the attachment holes need to be enlarged so that the hardware can be fished through.

Shipping was super quick! I received it on a Friday and had it installed the next morning. My father and I spent about 3 hours to get it installed with no lift and minimal power tools. Hitch was designed perfect and fits nice and tight under the bumper and it's heavy duty! Works great with my bike rack. Great product and will purchase from etrailer again!



by:

We really like all the products we have ordered from etrailer!! This time was our second time buying a Trailer Hitch! Easy to install and everything is included to install it! The only thing we would say is that the packaging was horrible! It looked like our Hitch had gone to war before arriving at our door! Thankfully all was ok inside the cardboard that was left taped onto the hitch.



by:

Very pleased with product. High quality perfect fit. Did take about 4 hours installation due to tight fit. Very pleased with hitch! Perfect for towing small pop up camper.

I felt I received the best product for the lowest price. Wow! I saved so much and got a quality hitch!

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch

  • Visibility of Installed Hitch Receiver Options for 2016 Jeep Renegade
    We offer a number of hitches for your 2016 Jeep Renegade, both 1-1/4-inch Class II and 2-inch Class III types, not all of which we've had an opportunity to install for a local Renegade owner. The 2-inch Draw-Tite hitch # 76021 is probably the one you are referring to; its installed position is shown in the linked photo. Generally speaking we always steer customers to a 2-inch hitch when one is available since they offer higher capacity and broader compatibility with accessory products. In...

  • Is Drilling Required to Install Curt Class II Trailer Hitch 12142 on a 2017 Jeep Renegade Sport
    For Curt trailer hitch # C12142 the only drilling you may need to do will be to enlarge access holes that are already on the frame of your 2017 Jeep Renegade Sport. But you could also use a file or rotary toll to enlarge those holes if needed. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view. If you plan on doing some towing the recommended ball mount is # C45521. For a 1-7/8 inch ball you can use # A-80. For a 2 inch ball use # A-82. And for trailer wiring you can...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2018 Jeep Renegade to Use with 1-1/4 Inch Bike Rack
    The Curt Class II Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12142 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2017 Jeep Renegade. It will provide you with a 1-1/4 inch receiver so as long as your existing bike rack is compatible with 1-1/4 inch receivers it will work great. This particular hitch Curt does require the use of a stabilizing strap # 18050 with any non-trailer load like your bike rack. I have attached an installation video on the strap so you can see exactly how they work. If you...

  • Availability of Aftermarket Hitch With Receiver Through Bumper on 2022 Jeep Renegade
    The only available hitches for the 2022 Jeep Renegade have the visible cross tube hanging down underneath like the etrailer # e37AR or Curt # C12142. Unfortunately, there are no aftermarket options that put the receiver through the bumper or have a concealed cross tube. They only hitch that runs through the bumper for this vehicle is the factory hitch which comes with a different bumper and has the hitch and wiring cutout.

  • Class II and Class III Curt Hitches for 2018 Jeep Renegade Latitude 4WD
    Yes, you can use Curt Class II hitch # C12142 on your 2018 Jeep Renegade Latitude 4WD. You can also use any of the other hitches made for the vehicle that appear on the linked page, such as the Class III Curt 2-inch model # C13269 which I recommend instead. An install video is linked for you too. The 2-inch hitch has a higher weight rating and will also be more broadly compatible with available hitch-mount accessories like bike and cargo carriers. If you already own 1-1/4-inch Class II...

  • Is Drilling Required to Install Curt C12142 Hitch on Trailhawk Edition of 2017 Jeep Renegade
    According to the installation instructions for the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Class II # C12142, no drilling is required for vehicles equipped with factory tow hooks. Since Jeep Trailhawk models are well-known for having the bright red tow hooks, this means you will not need to drill to enlarge the access hole on the frame of your 2017 Jeep Renegade and the existing M14 bolts are indeed used to install the hitch. The included photo shows the location of the M14 bolt at the end of the...

  • Ground Clearance With Curt Trailer Hitch C12142 Installed On 2017 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk
    With the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12142 installed on your 2017 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk you will have roughly 10-1/4" clearance. Since the ground clearance will be very similar to that of the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 76021 you had looked at I recommend going with the # 76021. The reason for this is it has a 2" receiver which is always our recommendation when available due to there being quite a few more accessories available for this size receiver. If you are planning on towing...
