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:

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!!

2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L

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.



by:
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.



by:

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.

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:

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 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:
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.

Great job by all involved
I was in a
bind to get this done asap

  • Trailer Hitch that Fits 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe
    We have confirmed that the Curt hitch # C96NR is a confirmed fit for your 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe so it would be a great choice. It fits behind the rear bumper access panel too so you get a mostly hidden hitch. For trailer wiring you'd then want the Curt # C27BR which installs easily.

  • 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...

    We do indeed have a hitch available for your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L.

When not in use, the panel door will also keep everything hidden and clean after the install. The # C96NR will be rated up to 7,500 pounds towing with 750 pounds of maximum tongue weight, making it a very capable hitch for either towing or carrying...

I have linked an installation video below that shows the hitch being installed with a full size spare. The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C96NR doesn't work with the full size spares just the donuts. This hitch was most likely the only one available when that question you saw was answered.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Limited
    For your 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT42GR.

Both install behind the removable bumper panel so they're hidden when not in use. The Draw-Tite also comes with a built-in bracket to attach your 4-way. For the wiring I would get the Tekonsha # TK39VR. This is the most reliable option and will plug...
