Does Aftermaket Hitch for 2018 Jeep Wrangler Have Advantage over OEM Hitch
Question:
I have a 2018 Jeep Rubicon Unlimited with the factory tow package. I have been considering upgrading my hitch by replacing the Class II hitch with a Class III. What are your thoughts on this? is it worth the trouble for added safety? I am not pulling anything over the 3500# tow rating of the jeep, but I do tow a lot. THank you for your help.

Going with a different hitch on your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL like with the Draw Tite part # DT78MR has a few advantages like higher towing capacities but also this hitch has a much longer hitch tube so it's easier to fit fit a bike rack and have spare wheel/tire clearance.
