What Tools Are Needed To Install Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch DT78MR On 2021 Jeep Wrangler EcoDiesel

Question:

I purchased the receiver hitch for my 2021 rubicon eco diesel. I have the factory steel bumper upgrade on it. There is not a wrench in my tool box to back up the nuts that will fit through the bumper holes in order to tighten the four bolts. Just wondering what you used as this is a very tight space. Any help is appreciated.

I would be happy to help!

I reached out to my contact at Draw-Tite and to install the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT78MR you were looking at on your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited EcoDiesel you will first gently pull down on the diesel canister to get extra clearance.

You will then need to use an 18mm open end wrench to hold the bolt head on the back of the hitch while you torque down the nuts on the front of the hitch with an 18mm crows foot wrench you can pick up from a local auto parts store.

I included a link to the written instructions for you to take a look at.
