ECOTRIC Class IV Trailer Hitch Compatible with 11-22 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Perfect fit holes line right up. I welded mine on the ends where the little screws go for lifetime support. And three coats of rust oleum inside and out for rust protection A little tight going in, but I just cut a piece of wood and wedged it towards the front to widen it up just to touch. Just took off the lower bumper, which has about 11 clips and six little screws. And some cases the original bumper still won’t come out because it’s too long on the ends. I just used a sawzall cut it off in five minutes. The bezel takes patience and precision, but not that bad just time-consuming.

Well made and tucks up nicely behind the bumper. Included everything you need, but the 7-Way Trailer Connector (56055632AC). Even came with new bolts.Install was easy. I DID NOT have to remove the entire bumper assembly as the instructions state. I merely removed the lower bumper cover. Once it was off, I cut the hitch cover mounting slots with a dremel tool and cleaned them up with a utility knife. I used a cut of wheel on a grinder to rough cut the large opening and cleaned it up with a flap disk. The install videos and instructions make it sound harder than it is. Installing the hitch itself is just a matter of unbolting the old crossmember and bolting in the hitch assembly. Start to finish it took me about two hours (with hand tools in a gravel driveway.)

The product was excellent and fit perfectly with my vehicle, however the proper wiring harness was not included or recommended. Still trying to find the proper wiring harness for this product.

Alright so first, know this ships in 2 shipments. The second shipment takes I'd say a week later to show up. I was disappointed that it wasn't stated when I ordered it and I thought I was missing parts. Ended up talking to customer service and they were great. Everything was sorted out after I already had it installed without the missing cover piece. My bumper was cut to make up for not having that cover in time but it ended up looking fantastic!!! The set up looks factory. Was able to trailer that same day. Also know it takes hours to install. Your entire bumper has to come off. The price is great for what you get. 5/5 on the product itself and 5/5 on customer service!!! I can't post my pictures of the after since it won't look the same since I ended up having my bumper cut and not using their cover.

I just returned a second hitch from this company, thinking the quality control missed the first unit. But I have discovered this company has NO quality control at all. First one had the square finishing ring on the end of the hitch welded crooked, and was so noticeable I could not install it on my vehicle. The second one came and the holes for the pin to hold a wall mount. We’re actually cut with a torch and are pictured along with this review on both items. I asked Amazon not to sell this crap and have some integrity.

From It’s outward appearance, this receiver appears to be similar to an OEM with how it mounts where the rear impact beam would normally be.That being said I do suspect it is a bit different. I haven’t looked at the OWM’a assembly.I’d be wary of hauling HEAVY loads as the 3 bolts on either end holding the main beam to the brackets didn’t appear to be Grade 8 quality. That said, when mounting I recommend leaving those bolts a bit loose. This will help greatly with getting the larger bolts through the frame and into the mounting brackets. After they’re in THEN torque them to spec.Be cautious removing the bumper. The bracket at the top 10mm bolt behind the bumper protrudes into the bolt hole. If you don’t push the bumper forward to pop it over that hole you will likely break the bumper bracket as it is plastic. I did even though I knew to do that step and spaced it. Fortunately it was only $25 at my local dealer.When it comes to cutting the bumper out the marks to cut are on the backside molding into the bumper. I drilled 1/8” holes for the slots for the tabs on the trim piece (included with this hitch). Then for the main large piece of bumper to cut out I drilled holes along the line every couple inches. I then used a NEW razor blade to “score” the inside from hole to hole 3-4 times and it went through the plastic. The plastic is relatively soft, fortunately.Total install time minus my run to the parts house? About 2.5 hrs, but I was also taking phone calls for work, stopped for a bite for lunch and took plenty of time. Looking at the back of the Grand Cherokee you cannot tell a difference between it and an OEM setup.I’ll be downloading AlfaOBD and getting an OBD2 Bluetooth scanner to activate the wiring harness so trailer lights will work. My intention for now is to use the receiver to him a large cooler out back for my deer/elk hunting trip this year.

Fairly easy install, would recommend watching a couple youtube videos on the trim removal for the bumper as it's somewhat challenging to remove without breaking clips. The instructions were good. I did have some difficulty removing the bolt near the exhaust, you'll need a Universal socket joint or a wrench (13/16ths i think). Also, the light hole in the hitch is specifically made for the Mopar snap in connector. (It's listed in the "frequently bought together" section) but as for the hitch itself, it's very well made and everything slid in place like it should!

Cannot complain for the price however not wise for people with limited resources. The small hardware holding the receiver together did not work at all due to the powder coat and alignment. I had to drill the threads and use my own hardware… otherwise finally got it installed and functions well.

Ca tres bien ete a posé merci

Not all of the goods arrived. When I asked when I would receive the rest, I was told that I could return the goods. I spent a month waiting, paid $38 for the return of the goods, and still don’t know when I’ll get my money back. I don’t recommend it!
