Is There a Custom Cover Plate for Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2021 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk

Question

Question:

Is there a custom cover plate made so that it doesn’t look like there’s a huge hole in the back after installing the hitch? It looks ridiculous.

There are two types of trailer hitch options for a 2021 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, ones that installs under the bumper like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e73ZR and ones that installs inside the bumper like the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT28MR. In regards to the latter option, there will be a large opening inside the bumper once installed if installed per the instructions. The only way around this would be to modify the factory knockout panel and reinstall. Unfortunately, I don't have any advice for this so you will need to do so on your own accord. If looks are of a concern to you, the better option would be the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver.

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…
