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.

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: Daniel11/13/2023
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: Jonathan 03/31/2024
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

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.

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.

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.

2022 Jeep WL Grand Cherokee
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: Adam 05/30/2023
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.

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: Joe D04/21/2023
Service was great. Only good experiences with trailer. Hitch was pretty easy if your not afraid to remove before dy parts from your car

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!

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.
by: Craig E04/08/2023
Great job by all involved
I was in a bind to get this done asap
The hitch was on time and a great fit

- Will Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit Behind Bumper Cover When Not Needed 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee?Yes, you will be able to reinstall the bumper trim cover over the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C96NR on your 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee. This receiver was designed to fit like the factory receiver and hide behind the rear cover when not needed. It will also hide the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK39VR which you can attach to the receiver using the Mounting Brackets # 18140 & # BK4F.

- Is There A Hitch Available That Uses The Factory Bumper Cutout On A 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L?Yes, there is a hitch available that will utilize the bumper cutout on your 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. For that I recommend the Curt Class 3 Hitch # C96NR. This will install directly behind the factory bumper cutout. Once the hitch is installed you will be able to reinstall the cover, leaving the hitch completely hidden. We had the chance to install the Curt # C96NR on a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L.

The latter is an updated design which was done to offer more fit options. That said, I simply recommend going with whichever option is more cost effective as there is no difference in how they install and operate in regards to a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L.

- Hidden Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee LFor your 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L the hitch I would recommend is the Curt # C96NR as it has great towing capacities and would be hidden behind the rear bumper panel when not in use. Then if you need trailer wiring the Tekonsha kit part # TK39VR would be your best option as it installs easily and also has the most reliable converter box.
view full answer... - Comparing Curt C96NR and C97JR for 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee LThe C97JR and # C96NR are virtually identical. The only difference is that the # C96NR has a slightly updated design which allows it to fit other Grand Cherokee models. It has also completely replaced the C97JR so that hitch is now obsolete. If you plan on towing, you will also want the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK39VR. This will plug into the connection points behind your tail lights. Once installed, you will have a 4-way to power your trailer's signal lights. If you need a ball...

- Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee LThere really isn't a difference between the two Curt hitches that fit your 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L or # C96NR and # C97JR.

That will give it a very clean appearance when not needed and provide for great ground clearance with your hitch mounted accessories.
