This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.The build quality of this hitch receiver is excellent -- wonderful fit and finish. It fit perfectly on my 2006 Jeep Wrangler, and the finishes all look very high quality. I put a 1up bike rack on the hitch receiver and have driven 3 bikes about 150 miles and had very little wiggling and jiggling. I am incredibly happy with the hitch and am an etrailer customer for life.
Product arrived within two days and was in good condition. Installation was OK. Hardest part was getting the Class I hitch off the dealer had put on in 2001. I needed this one for a rear shelf attachment. I couple of tips below, however they may only apply to my situation: 2001 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4.0.
1. To get the old hitch off which was a side and bottom mount, I had to remove the plastic bumper end caps.
2. As indicated in the diagram the silver carriage bolt plates should be inserted with the hole end towards the rear.
3. To use a torque wrench on the passenger side front nut, I had to remove the two screws holding the exhaust pipe hanger and let it sag temporarily.
This hitch receiver is very well built of high quality materials. Perfect fit, all parts were included and it came with accurate, easy to understand instructions. I added the reflective strips after the fact. They were not included with the hitch. I couldn't be happier.
Easy install and quick shipping
Only problem is the tailpipe rattles against it
Pro tip: mount the trailer plug in the hollow, stock bumper easy to do as well

Very pleased with the ease of install. I recently removed the hitch to address some surface rust on my frame and re-install was just as easy. Only issue I have is that my exhaust tailpipe rattles against the hitch so I will need make some adjustments to my exhaust
I can't believe it's been a year already! I meant to leave a review in early 2019 about how easy the install was on my 2004 Wrangler Sport TJ, how clear the instructions were, how quickly the order shipped, and how competitive the pricing was ... but a year goes by quickly with a Jeep!
In the last year I've pulled trailers loaded with mulch and more, multiple boats, and even one of those hitch racks for the cooler. This hitch has never missed a beat.
Probably the best testimonial I can give is the stump extraction: I removed about a dozen ornamental bush stumps with a 2" tow strap loop and a chain -- piece of cake!
If you're on the fence, don't think twice. This hitch will bring a whole new sense of utility to your Jeep for years to come.
Put on my jeep 97 SE TJ. Great paint, easy installation every thing required was in the kit. 10mins to put together. Super fast delivery.

Install on a 97 Jeep wrangler a year ago in Iowa winters and no rust. Use it more of a anchor when I get stuck. Tough as nail no bends or wear.
Great product and great service. I would give this product and this company a 5 star rating in all categories.

I priced out a complete receiver hitch installation kit from a local dealer and was quoted $310.00 Purchased the receiver hitch for my 2004 Jeep Wrangler from etrailer for much less than that and my son and I did the install in less than 30 minutes.
I shop on line for just about all purchases (107 in the last six months) This company is at the top of my list on all aspects of on line orders.
I needed a trailer hitch for a small utility trailer and a bike rack. I was hesitant about ordering a hitch as the dealer had replaced the factory bumpers with tubular ones. I had read that this is sometimes an issue with clearance for the hitch. However, in a response to an earlier question on the site, etrailer had responded how much clearance was needed and where to measure from on the frame. I measured and had 1/4 inch to spare so I went ahead and ordered. It fit using the factory holes, and the reverse fishing technique as described in the directions worked perfectly and it was installed within a matter of minutes. Very pleased with the hitch and highly recommend it!

This is a two part review. The first is etrailer and their service. This was my first experience with them and I am IMPRESSED. I placed the order Tuesday night at 8:30 and it was delivered at 12:30 Thursday afternoon. Their communication is excellent. Their website is fantastic for tracking the shipment. I found myself checking it more often than I should have just to watch the progress on the map.
Part two: the receiver. Everything was right, nothing was damaged, everything fit, everything worked the first time. The packaging was good. The Curt receiver is solid with good welds and good paint. The holes lined up. The instructions were good enough. Oh yeah my only complaint is the carriage bolt heads were a little to big to fit through the hole in the frame. I had to cut maybe 1/8" off one side. Other than that you need to have a little patience in fishing the wire down through the frame. The first one took me at least 20-30 minutes and some serious words. The second one went though the first try and took 2 minutes.
This receiver is bigger than is needed for my Jeep but it keeps the hitch the same size as our truck and as long as I don't try to pull 4000LBS with it, oversize won't hurt. It was only $20 more for the 2".
All in all I'm very happy with the purchase and with etrailer.
Great quality and easy to install as per instructions. Thanks for a good product and helpful videos. The wiring harness was even easier to install (except for accumulation of dirt in my face from the covers.) use of safety goggles might be a good tip. My bumper is hollow on the back. Actually a piece of U channel, so after glueing a magnet to the plug I can hide all wiring out of sight behind it.
Product came in a timely manner. Bolted right up to the frame. No hassle and straight forward installation instructions. Looks good and holds my Thule t2 pro xt rack very snuggly.
Will recommend.

Installed on a 2004 jeep wrangler. Installation was really easy and fast. Etrailer videos made installation a breeze. Installed by myself, only hard part was lifting hitch in place and catching the bolt, but I was able to lift one side into place and balance the other side on my knee. After that just install the rest of the bolts and make sure you have a 1/2 torque wrench that can tighten to 110 ft lbs. I highly recommend this hitch!
Great product. Easy installation. Fit nice.
Perfect fit. Quality product from Curt. How-to installation video by etrailer.com team clear, concise, and spot on. About 30 minutes to install.
All products ordered were in stock and shipped same day. Really like the comprehensive tracking page that shows progress on map, lists how-to videos, and other information about your products (all in one place).
Needed a hitch for my 05 Unlimited Rubicon that didn't bolt from the side of the frame. This was perfect! 4 bolts, super simple install, and it looks great! I would recommend this hitch to anyone with a 1997-2006 Jeep TJ or Unlimited.
13408 Class III Hitch Wrangler - quality product; easy to install; looks great on the Jeep; excellent price & quick delivery.
Great product, fantastic accompanying hardware... particularly with regard to the wire to fit the bolt up into the frame with. Most companies wouldn't care enough to send anything like that with the order. There was a problem with the transaction, someone from the company called me immediately and I re-placed the order using PayPal with no issues. Shipping was quick and the product itself is very good quality. Keep up the good work. Thank you.
The trailer hitch receiver arrived quickly and installed easily. Appears to be well built and looks good. No complaints.
received the hitch quickly after ordering - install was as easy as stated and took the removal of 2 bumper bolts and installation of 2 others then replacing them - tighten all 4 down and ready to go - fit was tight but it should be - highly recommended
Hitch was delivered faster than I expected. Ordered on Yuesday and delivered on Friday. I took the time to make sure the bolts were already freed up from the rust on my Wrangler so when I installed the hitch it actually only took 10 minutes.
Was towing the jet ski 30 minutes later.
Placed internet order on a Monday evening and received order on Wednesday evening. Impressed with speedy fulfillment of order. All items were correct and packaged adequately. I strongly recommend Etrailer.
I just installed it. It was easy to install. Etrailer made sure I had everything I needed. It has a great paint job and it is of high quality.
The hitch fit well as you said. We did have trouble withe the holes in the frame weren't as your instructions described, but once wee modified the holes everything went ok. We are well satisfied with the product.
Great sturdy product, excellent finish, I have an 02 wrangler and the access hole they tell u to use is too small for the bolt head, just use the hole the hitch lines up with, once I figured that out it only took 5 mins !

I would recommend this trailer hitch for Jeep Wrangler TJ.
I have had this hitch for over a year. I love it. I have a luggage rack attached to it and use it year-round. I find it so handy for extra storage with my Jeep Wrangler. I have no issues. The bolts are pretty rusty looking (I live in the north where roads are salted in the winter) so I recommend coating them with some kind of protection. My brother installed this for me. My vehicle was 20 years old at the time this was added.
The trailer hitch matched up to the frame perfectly, the bolts went in with no problems. I couldn't have been more pleased with alignment. Received hitch in less than a week.
A true bolt on hitch, took about 1hr.to connect. It's a solid reciver and since it bolts to the frame there's no worries about it not holding up to the task.

Hitch works great, out of the way and very solid.
I received your trailer hitch yesterday.I am very satisfied. It was very easy to install. Took me less than 1.5 hours including the wiring kit. The instructions were clear and concise and specific to my vehicle with no bad grammar like you get with the Chinese products. It was obvious whoever wrote these instructions had actually installed this hitch on a 99 jeep Wrangler. ( those nuts with the handles to install inside the frame were a clever touch.) I did have to ream the upper frame holes a bit to get the bolts in- took 2 minutes.- I would recomend this hitch to anyone. I loved the promt free shipping.
Solid and well-made hitch, hooked up easy ,matched up everything on my frame of my jeep wrangler ,definitely recommend this bumper
Super easy install, 20 minutes including cutting old bolts from old hitch. Nice product and packaging but arrived dinged and scratched. Not etrailers fault though. Would buy from again
Product was exactly as advertised, complete with all necessary hardware. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Arrived in 2 days, very substantial box and packing.
I purchased a Hidden Hitch Trailer Receiver and never installed one on a Wrangler. But because of the great videos and instructions on etrailer's site I was encouraged to try. Well, I did have a problem. But it was me, I couldn't find the light connector and sent pictures to customer support which was a great big help! The explained how I needed to reach the light connector based upon pics I sent. The Hitch has functioned flawlessly. I have towed both a small utility trailer (4x8), a larger trailer (6x10) and a Thistle sailboat all with great confidence. The Hidden Hitch looks good and has a nice fit below the bumper. I have an 2006 Wrangler. Very happy with etrailer and this product. Thanks,
Robertt.

Everything is working fine and I appreciate the helpful videos and instructions provided on your site.
Received in great condition and when expected. Installation was a breeze. Can hardly wait to use it
This was an easy setup to install. The hitch went on my Jeep without much fuss, the wiring kit was easy to connect, and I think I was done in about an hour, start to finish. It's holding up well, in terms of finish and corrosion, and I'm really pleased with the purchase. Thank you, etrailer!

All good!
The hitch arrived quickly and was exactly what I needed. It fit my 2003 Jeep Wrangler TJ perfectly. It was a tight fit and I did need to whack it with a hammer to get in place but that's far better than being loose on the frame in my opinion.
I've used etrailer.com for several purchases over the years and they are fantastic from a customer service perspective as well as the information they provide. I will definitely use them again in the future.

The hitch is still working great and looking great. We use it mostly for a bike rack but I also have a small trailer.
As advertised; easy to install and very secure. Very pleased with purchase. No problems.
The 30 minute install on my 06 Rubicon took longer because I chose to take the time running the wiring kit along the existing run which is located up high along the body. I used eight zip ties and payed attention to not allow the wire to chafe over time. The install of the hitch itself was pretty easy but I did choose to drop the tailpipe down an inch or so via two 13 mm bolts on the tailpipe bracket. By the way, you will need a 18 MM box wrench or socket in order to remove the tow hook. I also chose to purchase two button type black plastic body connectors in order to re-secure the black plastic mud doors on each side of the bumper. I also used one of the holes for the ground wire. Just slip the connector between the two pieces of body sheet metal. Thank you E-Trailer for the careful packaging. By the way, the master hitch lock is a must purchase along with the hitch kit and bag.
This receiver hitch 75193 for 2000 Jeep Wrangler was easy to install. The price from etrailer seemed very reasonable, and it was delivered promptly. The only downside was the painted finish on the receiver hitch. The paint was peeling in spots leaving the bare unfinished steel exposed.
Delivery service was fantastic! Looks like a great product, Will install tomorrow. Thanks!

It installed perfectly, has been flawless in service. Thanks for a great product.
Fairly easy to install on a 2005 Rubicon. I even did it by myself (I'm no mechanic, by far). Once I figured out that you need to get the sides bolted in before the bottom...and was able to get the flashlight shining in the access hole so I could see where the side bolts went into the handle nut...the assembly was easier than I imagined it would be.
Thanks to eTrailer for the excellent installation video which I watched before doing it myself, and the excellent customer service as well.
Hitch arrived fast and damage free. Installation, thanks to the instructional video, bolted up in no time! Very easy install.
Will be ordering a tow-bar next. Thanks etrailer.com for making this so easy!!
Fit perfect, looks good. Easy to install with help from someone to hold it up. I drilled the hole on each side of the frame to .53 diameter to allow clearance for the bolt then used a floor jack to hold it in place.
Easy installation onto my 2002 Jeep Wrangler. This trailer hitch is built to last. I'll give it an A++
Just received the hitch yesterday. Haven't installed it yet. Good quality, fair price. Packaging was poor and part of the hitch came out of the box. This exposed part of the hitch had the paint/coating rubbed off, exposing the metal. I will spray this with Rustoleum to prevent corrosion. This easily could have been avoided by wrapping cardboard or adding additional layer of cardboard in the shipping box where the edges will rub.
Works great.Have pulled numerous trailers back and fourth to the Twin Cities and back which is about 5 hours round trip,never had any problems.
The wiring was exceptionally good and installation a breeze. The hitch itself was not difficult to install conceptually, but removal of the second bolt on the hook (driver's side) was ridiculously difficult to remove. The difficulty was not in the new product but the Sahara's engineering was not well thought through.
Well made. Relatively easy to install but did require some bending to fit the frame which was somewhat frustrating. Anyway, it is on and the wiring harness was a no brainer to hookup. Shipping was super fast - could hardly believe it - :).

Im very pleased with the hitch. I haul a small utility trailer occasionally and havent had any problem at all. Finish is holding up well and no signs of corrosion at all. Great product from a great supplier. Thanks Etrailer.
