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!

Ive used the receiver hitch for the last year or so and it has worked very well for my limited usage of bike rack attachment. It still looks and functions like new. Thanks!

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!!

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.



by:

Fit was a little snug and needed to use a floor jack to get the last bolt in place but otherwise an easy installation.



by:

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

Easy instructions, installation was a breeze. Very important to torque bolts down to spec. Also will need to have dealer “flash” vehicle to activate trailer lights. 5 stars

This was a very simple install on the 2018 Grand Cherokee. Only had to remove the recovery hook and bolts, then pop in place. Less than a one hour job.

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!

Easy install and looks good on the jeep.

Easy to install



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:

Came in quickly, easy install what more can I say.



by:

Arrived with a small scuff to the front of the hitch receiver which is unfortunately visible. Relatively easy driveway install - the biggest challenge was loosening the existing hardware but was able to manage by myself. Install video was appreciated and helpful



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.



by:

Ordering was seamless. Great communication from George and Carol! Hitch fits well and looks good on the back of the Jeep. Install was easy. Literally, less than 30 minute install.
Thanks again folks at e trailer.
