Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
Question:
What is the best hitch for a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited?
asked by: Doug M
Expert Reply:
The best hitch for your 2023 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is going to be the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch item # DT78MR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Jeep with included hardware.
I really like this hitch because it bolts directly to your Jeep's bumper bar not the frame. This not only makes installation really easy it also doesn't affect your ground clearance.
The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch item # DT78MR is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 4,500 lbs towing capacity, and a 675 lbs maximum tongue weight. It can be used with weight distribution systems but using one will not increase your Jeep's capacity.
I have linked a couple of pictures below ,along with an installation video, so you can see what this hitch looks like when installed.
If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # 118786 and a ball mount kit item # C45534. This wiring harness fits Jeeps without the factory tow package. I have linked an installation video below.
