Comparing Draw-Tite # 75699 With Curt # C13065 For 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Question

Question:

I was wondering about the difference in how much the hitch would stick out under the bumper between a Draw-Tite 75699 and a Curt C13065. Its for a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I guess the measurement comparison Im looking for would be the distance from the first installation bolt hole to the end of the 2inch receiver on both. Thank you.

The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75699 measures 10 inches from the center of the first bolt hole to the end of the 2 inch receiver. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13065 measures 11 inches from center of first bolt hole to end of receiver tube. The more important measurement for you may be that the hitch pin center will be 4-1/4 inches under the farthest portion of the bumper and the Draw-Tite hitch will be 4 inches.
