The wrangler hitch is one of our most popular hitches. It bolts up existing weld-nuts and holes in the frame, so no drilling or welding is required. Installation typically takes about 20 minutes from start to finish.

What separates this hitch from the pack? Aside from a great price, Curt hitches have the best finishes in the industry. Period. You'll see what we mean when you lay your eyes on one.

This hitch worked great on my Jeep Wrangler. Read the instructions and you will be done in about 30 minutes.

The hitch was perfect. Everything was included for installation other than tools. Actual 20 minute install. Very nice product.

Joe Fobes - 04/11/2008 Rating:

Very well constructed! 15 minute install and the trailer hitch looks great on my Jeep Wrangler! I am very pleased with the shipping, communication and service. These guys are top notch. Thanks for an excellent shopping experience.

I installed the hitch on a 2001 Jeep Wrangler Sport (TJ). The instruction do not cover an issue in my installation.
My Jeep has an elongated access hole in the bottom of the frame directly in front of the forward hitch bolt hole. (The forward hitch bolt hole is the same one where the rear recovery hook was attached). The hitch's pre-drilled forward bolt holes line up with the access holes, not the forward hitch bolt holes. The square hole spacers are long enough to bridge the access hole, so I installed the forward bolts in the access holes.
I also had trouble starting on of the new bolts in the rear threaded bolt holes. The original bolts have a short starting shank before the treads start. The new bolts do not have a starter... Read More

This is a sharp looking hitch, and as easy to install as promised.
The only tip I can offer for some Jeep owners is have one of the following handy for removing factory bolts to mount the hitch:
1. a 23/32 wrench or socket;
2. an 18mm wrench or socket;
3. an adjustable wrench (10 or 12 inch will do nicely.) this is what I used to remove the bolts, as I had neither #1 or #2 :)
Installation is a breeze after that, and kudos to Curt Mfg. for including the fish line. It's a lifesaver!
My father used to sell RV's when I was a kid, and I had the pleasure of my 13 year old son helping my with this install, his first work on an auto ever. Now he looks forward to Installing the hitch on Grandma's F-150, and with the choice of a... Read More

This was easy to put on took about 15 min. I didn't know that the wire went around the bolt to pull it into the hole or would of been quicker Thanks Charles

Excellent hitch. By far the best one I've purchased. Outstanding delivery service. Thanks

William A Anderson - 09/15/2007 Rating:

A great price and a great product. The fit and especially the finish of the hitch was great. Installation instructions were clear with all hardware required supplied. Add to the good communication and fast delivery you don't need to look any further. Buy your hitch here!

Totally easy to install with a few tools. It took me 30 minutes to install the hitch on my 02 Jeep Wrangler. The fish wire is a great idea for locating the plate and bolt use on two of the four bolts that complete the install. I would suggest that installers loosen the four bolts that hold the bumper to the frame to facilitate aligning the bolt to welded nut on the bottom of the frame.
Thanks for a great product....by the way the finish is very nice.

Easier than advertised to install. The tool to fish the bolt through frame is really great! It took longer to setup the tools than it did to install the hitch.
