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 !

Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom harness. T-connector plugs directly into existing wiring - no cutting, splicing or tapping required.I've had the Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness on my Jeep Wrangler for a year now and it still works great with my trailer!
Delivery was quick and the plug and play wiring I ordered was really easy to install and works great thank you I’ll definitely be a return customer
Love how easy this was to install. Instructions were clear and product holds up nicely. Thank you etrailer team!
Great product, well made. Installed on 06' Jeep Unilimited. Connectors and wiring harness are quality and overall install was easier than expected.
I have a 2004 Jeep Rubicon and this truly was a plug and play item. It works great with my 5x8 trailer and the wire stows nicely behind the rear bumper.
As always , excellent products!
My order of a trailer hitch, light kit and mounting bracket all arrived very quickly, even before I expected them. The product quality is great. The installation instructions were very clear and easily followed and I had no problem at all during the installation process (probably because I for once took the time to read the directions first). As in the past, etrailer has exceded my expectations.

After one year and quite a bit of use the wiring kit is without problems. Id do it all again,
I installed this connector on my 2006 Wrangler with a Hidden Hitch and it has worked flawlessly with three different trailers. Very happy with etrailer and this harness. Thanks,

Everything is working fine and I appreciate the helpful videos and instructions provided on your site.
Was easy to hook up.
Bought the Curt hitch and wiring kit for 2013 Highlander and was entirely pleased with product, installation instructions, and performance for a couple years. Recently traded the 2013 for a 2019 Highlander and have bought the same hitch and wiring kit for it. 100% positive recommendation for etrailer, their products and customer service.
A very nice product. The installation was a quick, plug & play process. Everything went very smoothly - Zero surprises!
Since I'm a bit OCD. I purchased a roll of 3/8" split wire loom along with a package of small zip ties from a local auto parts retailer. I then placed the wiring harnes into the loom. Using the additional zip ties about 2' apart.
Then, I ran my my wires under the rear bumper,between the body & frame area.
Today, over a year later - Everything works as it should.
Cheers.
this is one of the BEST products I have bought in a long time that fits PERFECT, It took me literally 15 minutes to put this trailer hitch on my wrangler , and another 15 to install wiring kit . this was on my TJ and I put one on my YJ I also bought from Etrailer.You Guys are GREAT, keep doing your great work. Thanks so much, Sincerely Jack G.
I ordered the Curt trailer hitch, wiring harness, and ball mount for my jeep. All products are high quality, should last a lifetime. The price is very reasonable and the videos make installation possible by even a not so mechanical minded person. The products are shipped in quality boxes and packed should withstand even rough handling. The shipping was really fast as well. The reps also follow thru with shipping information easy for you to track entire route of the products. I am a very happy camper, comfortable with this company selling quality products for reasonable prices. i will order again, Try them, you will like them too!
This was my third purchase from etrailer and every experience has been AWESOME. When searching the wiring harnesses I needed, I first watched the installation video to make certain it would fit my Jeep. All three orders were delivered very quickly, and was super easy to install. Thank you etrailer for teaching me how to wire a trailer through your videos and making the purchase so convenient.
Be forewarned this is not a pure "snap-in" harness. The ground wire does not connect to the vehicle harness, instead it comes with a self-tapping screw and instructions to drill a ground point into the vehicle. I was able to ground to a nearby bolt on my '06 Wrangler by cutting the ring connector to accommodate a larger bolt. This worked fine and avoided the need to drill. Also, the zip ties it comes with are too small and too few for the job, so have a bag of 8" ties on hand. Otherwise it works great, the install into the harness was easy and no problems with the first tow.
High quality and simple install with video. There will only be about 3 ft of pigtail going toward the front bumper (if you are wiring for flat tow) so get the tow bar wire kit too.
The Curt hitch and wiring kit arrived in perfect shape I installed the hitch and wiring harness in less than two hours. Tested the lights=perfect. The fit and looks=perfect. I enjoyed doing business with etrailer and am looking forward to buying more products. What a great company!
I was able to use the Jeep trailer wiring adapter to run a male/female inline 4 plug to the front of my Jeep for towing behind my RV.
The hitch and wiring were a breeze to install on a 2004 Jeep TJ. I'm a friend of the purchaser and have installed at least a dozen hitches from etrailer for friends and family, including this one. etrailer has great pricing, fast delivery, and the installation videos are very helpful. I know exactly what to expect before the hitch arrives. If you're on the fence, watch the installation video before you buy. Good luck!
Ridiculously easy installation, no splicing! Only issue is that the supplied plastic wire ties were not long enough, I had to get my own to secure the wiring to the trailer hitch frame.
Perfect! Easy online ordering, quick delivery, great price and easy to find tutorials on YouTube. Thank you. I highly recommend eTrailer.

Thanks for your follow-up. The trailer hitch is working great. I really appreciate the impeccable customer service. Have a great day.
This was my 1-st purchase from etrailer.com
The wiring harness installed perfectly. I found the quality to be exceptional. Will definitely buy from etrailer.com in the future
easy plug and play... I put a protective sleave on it myself to protect it from the jeep life lol. if it came with a protective sleave I'd say 5 of 5.

Thank you for your feedback. You certainly can add wire loom like part # 459075-1 to help extend the life of your harness.
