Rugged, Matte Black Finish

The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

I installed it and used a wire brush to clean off the muffler piping and it went back in smooth, yes the videos explaining were great.



by:

The fish wire was not included. Had to make my own out of safety wire. Made the project extremely difficult. Paper instructions would have also been helpful. Had to watch a you tube video at a friends, then go and install where i don't have internet.

Was missing wires to pull bolts through frame. Hitch was sticking out of box at three sports on box. To bad

hitch mounted up fine. Heard knocking sound when Jeep Cherokee went over small bumps in road. Got out to check hitch receiver and it was tight. Crawled under car and noticed the passenger side exhaust tip was banging up against a corner of the hitch. Pulled rear section of muffler off and used an angle grinder to trim about 3/8” off the rounded corner of the hitch receiver on both sides. Works fine now. This receiver will only carry bicycles and not be used for towing. Could have been the passenger side exhaust tip was mounted to the muffler slightly different than the driver side.

Order was in stock and arrived super quick. Box was torn upon arrival but hitch was in perfect condition with all parts included. I would definitely order from you again and will recommend you! Thank you!

The installation video was spot on, I used my floor jack as my spare set of hands, just strapped it to it and worked perfectly. The fish wires were excellent, the muffler removal and back on went just as described! Really pleased with etrailer!

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2020 Jeep Cherokee
    The trailer hitch I recommend for a 2020 Jeep Cherokee is the etrailer Hitch part # e73ZR which is a direct bolt-on fit with no drilling required. The etrailer Hitch has a hidden design which means only the receiver tube will be visible once installed so you get a very clean install look. The etrailer Hitch is also something that you can install yourself, at home as there are no special tools required. Since you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C56406 and...

  • Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 2016 Jeep Cherokee Sport
    To tow a trailer with your 2016 Jeep Cherokee Sport you'll need the hitch receiver and wiring like you mentioned. Plus, a ball mount, hitch, ball, and a pin and clip. I've linked an article that explains each part in detail for you. The trailer hitch receiver I recommend is the etrailer item # e73ZR. It's a Class III, 2 inch receiver designed specifically for your Jeep. I like this hitch because all you see is the receiver opening and safety chain loops once it's installed. Then for...

  • OEM vs. Aftermarket Differences For 2019 Jeep Cherokee Hitch
    Hitches like our etrailer part # e73ZR are pretty similar to the OEM hitch that fits your 2019 Jeep Cherokee. The big difference on your end will be that our hitches will cost considerably less than the OEM hitches. This hitch will work great with your Kuat bike rack as well.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver to Fit a Base Model 2015 Jeep Cherokee
    We have a few hitches that fit your 2015 Jeep Cherokee. I recommend sticking with a Class III trailer hitch because you'll get all the capacity available from your Jeep and also the 2 inch opening is more common so more accessories are available To avoid making any modifications to your Cherokee use the Curt # C13171. I've linked a video of it being installed on a Limited but the process is the same for yours. I've also linked the install details. If you're okay performing some modifications...

  • Does etrailer Hitch for 2019 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Require Trimming of Rear Fascia/Bumper

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk
    The best hitch for your 2023 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk is going to be the etrailer Hitch item # e73ZR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to Jeep with included hardware. It fits both the Trailhawk and non Trailhawk models. I really like the etrailer hitch because it installs behind your rear bumper cover completely concealing the crossbar. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 4,500 lbs towing capacity, and a 675 lbs maximum tongue weight which can be increased to 5,500...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2020 Jeep Cherokee Latitude
    The hitch I recommend for your 2020 Jeep Cherokee Latitude is the mostly hidden etrailer # e73ZR. Once this hitch is installed the only thing visible will be the hitch opening hanging below the rear bumper. See attached picture. I also attached an install video as well. Then for wiring the Tekonsha kit part # 118779 is a really great option too. It installs very easily and comes with a very reliable converter box as well. I attached an install video for this as well.

  • Trailer Hitch Installation Difficulty on a 2014 Jeep Cherokee Latitude
    The etrailer hitch # e73ZR is indeed a fit for the Latitude model of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. Trailer hitch installation is something that you can do at home but I do recommend having an assistant because hitches are heavy and getting them in the right place and tightening hardware at the same time is difficult for one person to do alone. All 2014 Jeep Cherokees will have the holes for the hitch already in the frame. You will not have to do any drilling but there is some trimming and lowering...

    For a trailer hitch for your 2021 Jeep Cherokee, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit # e73ZR. The etrailer hitch is a great economical choice; it also provides you with 675 pounds of maximum tongue weight and 4,500 pounds of gross towing weight capacity. As far as installation, the hitch comes with all hardware included for a bolt-on installation.

  • Recommended Class III Trailer Hitch & Wiring Harness for 2017 Jeep Cherokee
    All of the hitches offered for your 2017 Jeep Cherokee Latitude are the 2-inch size rated as Class III hitches and are shown on the linked page. Of the available options I suggest the Curt # C13172 because it offers a similar capacity than the similarly-priced etrailer # e73ZR and still offers no-drill installation which is illustrated in the linked video. All hardware is included. If you have no factory tow package, for wiring you can use the hardwire kit # C56208. An installation video...

  • Can a 2016 Jeep Cherokee Support 280 Pounds of Chair Lift and Chair
    As long as your 2016 Jeep Cherokee has the 3.2 liter motor with the trailer tow package then it can support up to 450 pounds tongue weight which is more than enough for the chair lift and chair combined. If you have the 3.2 liter but do not have the factory tow package the vehicle is limited to 200 pounds tongue weight and the same goes for the 2.4 liter motor with or without the factory tow package. If you do have the 3.2 liter and factory tow package I recommend etrailer hitch # e73ZR...

  • Best Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness for a 2021 Jeep Cherokee
    Yes, we do have a hitch receiver for your 2021 Jeep Cherokee. I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # 75998. This hitch looks factory after installation. The entire crossmember sits behind the bumper and the only part visible is the 2" receiver. I have attached a picture and a video. For a wiring harness to control your trailer's lighting functions you will need the Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Connector item # C56406. This custom-fit connector plugs into your Jeep's wiring harness...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2015 Jeep Cherokee
    We have just what you would need. For a trailer hitch confirmed to fit your 2015 Jeep Cherokee Latitude you would want the etrailer part # e73ZR. This hitch has more than enough capacity and has a non-visible crosstube which makes it a bit more aesthetically appealing. I attached an install video for the hitch for you to check out as well.

I attached install videos for both for you to check out as well. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2021 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk That Protrudes Through Bumper
    While there is one hitch for your 2021 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk that exits through the bumper, the # e73ZR does not, as the receiver will be below the bumper of your Jeep. The only option for a hitch that protrudes the bumper of your Cherokee Trailhawk is from Draw-Tite: - Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT28MR I have added a photo of the # DT28MR installed on a Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk so you can see exactly how it will look when installed on your Jeep.

  • Curt vs. etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2022 Jeep Cherokee
    The Curt # C13395 and etrailer # e73ZR are in fact nearly identical. However, what sets the etrailer hitch apart is the matte black powder coat finish. This gives it more of an OEM appearance for a sharp look on your 2022 Jeep Cherokee and is also the reason I would recommend it over others. The finish also does a better job hiding dirt and dings when compared to the glossy finish in the Curt hitch. If you plan on doing some towing you will also need wiring and a ball mount.

  • Ground Clearance/Hitch Ball Height of etrailer Hitch on 2021 Jeep Cherokee
    The ground clearance of the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e73ZR on a 2021 Jeep Cherokee is around 10" but this will vary from vehicle to vehicle. This is measured from the ground to the bottom of the receiver. If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C56406 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.

  • 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailer Hitch and 4-Bike Rack Recommendation
    I actually have the etrailer Hitch # e73ZR installed on my Jeep and it looks and works really great, so that's the hitch I recommend for your 2020 Jeep Cherokee. For a bike rack, I recommend the Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount Item # Y02443-2 . What you'll really like about this rack is that it can be used as a 2-bike rack for when it's only you and your wife, but can transform into a 4-bike rack with the 2-bike add-on that's included.

  • Concealed Trailer Hitch Recommendatio for 2019 Jeep Cherokee
    We have trailer hitches with concealed crosstubes that fit your 2019 Jeep Cherokee like the etrailer part # e73ZR which is a great option, but the hitch tube does hang below the rear bumper of the vehicle. We do not have a hitch like the Mopar part number you mentioned which comes out higher in the rear fascia. I attached an installed picture for this hitch for you to check out as well.

If you DO have the Trailer Tow Package and have a 2.0L engine your capacity is 4,000 lbs and if you have a 3.2L your capacity is 4,500 lbs.

    Yes, the etrailer hitch, part # e73ZR, does fit your 2019 Jeep Cherokee. The installation is basically the same as the 2018 model so I've linked the instructions you mentioned. If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C56406 and a ball mount kit item # C45534. I've also linked a couple of articles you might find helpful. As well as some links to our selections of other parts you might need to tow with your Jeep.

  • What Size Hitch is Available for 2019 Jeep Cherokee
    Not all vehicles have both hitch sizes available for them. For your 2019 Jeep Cherokee there are only 2 inch hitches like the # e73ZR that you mentioned. The good news is is most bike racks out there are made for this hitch size so it will be easiest to pick out a bike rack for and it has more weight capacity than the smaller hitch size. We do have bike racks like the Hollywood Trail Rider part # HR200Z which fit both hitch sizes.
