The Curt front receiver fit perfectly on my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. However, the welds on the horizontal hitch bar all had to be trimmed back with a grinder for the washer nuts to fit properly! A little bit of spray paint and you can’t tell the difference!

Still holding up good haven’t used it as much as I would wish to. I am hoping to use it within the next month when I go surf fishing.

2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4.7 v8 fit perfectly went together easily with new snow plow.

Well, here it is and it's been over a year with my front mounted hitch. I use it to carry a snow plow that is 2" hitch mounted. The quality is superb! The installation went smooth and it fit with zero problems. The instructions were to the T. This is my 3rd front mounted hitch I've used on 3 different vehicles and none has given me any problems.

Everything stated onsite was valid. Easy install, all the necessary parts and instructions were with the hitch receiver. Excellent Curt quality. I wanted a front recovery system for my Jeep that was more versatile than just tow hooks and this fit the bill perfectly. The receiver is so discrete that it is hardly noticible.

The front mount hitch gives me the peace of mind that I can place my trailer precisely where I want it. It also gives me the equivalent of tow hooks.

The 2002 will fit the 2001 Jeep Grand C herokee

2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Easy install. Little tough getting some of the bolts torqued due to limited space. Wasn't able to put my skid plate back on. Despite a couple small issues and the fact that it was 19 degrees out I am overall very happy with the hitch. I can't wait to use it this summer.

etrailer offered the best price available and shipped for free AND we received the hitch all within 5 business days!!! Emails informing me of the progress of my order were timely and friendly. The part was in perfect shape and exactly what we wanted. It is mounted on the front of our 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee to hold a SnowSport snow plow.
