CURT 13392 Class 3 Trailer Hitch, 2-Inch Receiver, Compatible with Select Jeep Wrangler JL , Black

Installed this today. Took a little longer than I anticipated, but it fits and will do the job.The instructions recommend that you lower the muffler to install the hitch. I was not happy to see that AFTER I bought the hitch, however I was able to install it without moving the muffler. Also, the instructions recommended a die grinder be available to enlarge the original holes, but none was needed on my vehicle (2019 Jeep Wrangler).The photos in my copy of the instructions were a little dark, and in black and white, so some of these photos were a waste for me.A major difficulty with my installation was the undercoating on the frame member which made it tough to slide the hitch into place. It does fit, but at first I had my doubts.Torque specs are given as 110 ft/lbs for the new bolts. Good luck with that unless you are ready to remove the muffler or the rear bumper. I gave it a good SWAG using a dead-blow hammer on my box wrench with a promise to myself to recheck the bolts in the future.A bracket and two bolts must be removed prior to installation of the hitch. The bracket is not used with the new hitch in place.The hitch assembly is well made and appears to be powder-coated. It looks very nice and I would buy this one again.

First and foremost I am a mechanic and I am not in the business of installing trailer hitches but I found this one very easy to install. I have three tools total to install this trailer hitch. It took me about 15 minutes doing it on my back and I did not have to lower the exhaust or enlarge any holes. I did however reuse the two outer bolts because they had a welded nut already attached. I cannot say whether the OEM bolts are okay for the application but my little trailer is just to pull a lawn mower. If I had to remove that plate and get the welding nut off it would have added much more time but the bolts are very big and I would say that it is okay for the application.

Super easy to install on my 2024 rubicon x and seems to be good quality heavy duty steel.

Easy install. Extends out and under spare tire, works good for bike rack.

Pros: sturdy construction and parts, high quality, $75 DIY vs. $215+tax installed at an automotive shopCons: Install not as straight forward as many other reviews made it sound, my Thule bike rack doesn't fit without a hitch extender (another $50) as the release lever smacks the mud tire on the tail gate which prevented it from inserting fully into the tongue of the hitchJust about every review said this was a simple 20 minute install. It doesn't take much skill, but it's not as simple as throwing in four bolts and off you go. This install took me 45 minutes, and I'm fairly handy. For my 2018 Unlimited Sahara once I got under the vehicle to start the install I found a plate on the frame with two factory bolts. You have to take the bolts out that attach this plate to the frame and two more bolts that hook it into the plastic bumper and loosen this plate. THEN you slide this new hitch up onto the frame and wedge it between the plate and frame. This took several whacks with a hammer to get it up there. I had to bolt up one side and then hammer the other side up onto the frame again. The bolts go in at an awkward position but it's definitely possible to do without dropping the muffler, just some awkward positioning. No need to enlarge the wholes, just need to use the two original factory bolts on the outside holes and two new bolts for the inside holes.Again, not a whole lot of skill required here, and anyone can do it as long as you know how to use a wrench and a ratchet. Also beware that a hitch extender may be necessary dependent upon your accessory.

I just installed this hitch on my 2019 Wrangler Sport S, 2 door, V6, manual transmission. The quality of this hitch is excellent, typical of my experience with Curt products. Very nice welds and a great powder coat finish. On my Jeep, it was a very tight fit around the chassis crossmember, requiring me to push the hitch up with a floor jack and using a big dead blow hammer for precision adjustments. I don't consider the tight fit to be a negative, since I think that more snug is better than loose. The bolts all passed through the frame holes easily, except for one which was a bit tight. I did not have to enlarge the hole, however, I just "threaded" the bolt into the hole and it went all the way through without any problems, Speaking of bolts, I was impressed that Curt provided high strength Grade 8 bolts that are yellow (gold) zinc plated. Many hitches come with Grade 5 bolts, which are adequate, but stronger is always better. I did not need to drop the muffler to install the hitch as indicated in the instructions. It was very tight getting a torque wrench on the bolt heads, however.The only issue I had was when I first opened the box and examined the contents. There is a poly bag with the hitch that contains the hardware (4 each of bolts, flange locknuts, and flat washers) plus instructions. When I opened the bag, I saw that the seal on one end was not completely closed, causing one of the flat washers to be missing from the bag. I checked under the box bottom flaps and found it there, so no big deal.If you are looking for a hitch for your 2018-2019 Wrangler JL, this is the one for you.

I haven’t pulled my tractor yet however hitch was easy to install on my 2019 Jeep unlimited with just a small jacket to position on frame. I didn’t remove muffler or any parts .. took 30 min.

My choice, Curt hitches, qualityDid not have to remove exhaust as video suggested.
