4-Way Mounting Bracket Recommendation for Draw Tite Hitch on 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
Question:
Can you recommend a wiring harness that will mount on the Draw-Tite or Reese hitch for my 2017 Wrangler 4 dr Unlimited? I like that these two choices will allow me to mount my bike rack without an extension, but they dont have the OEM style mount for the harness, The harnesses Ive seen clip nicely into the OEM Mopar style.

Expert Reply:
The Draw Tite hitch # DT78MR that you referenced is a great option for carrying a bike rack with your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. The longer hitch tube allows racks to fit easier since it helps it clear the spare tire easier.
You can then easily use the Curt Mount Bracket part # C58001 to mount a 4-way to the hitch tube. Check out the install picture I attached for more info.
