CURT 2IN REC HITCH 18-UP JL

Whether you're hauling a small utility trailer, transporting camping equipment, or adding extra cargo capacity for a weekend getaway, a dependable receiver hitch makes your Jeep Wrangler considerably more versatile. The CURT 13392 Class 3 Trailer Hitch provides a rugged, vehicle-specific towing solution for compatible Jeep Wrangler JK and JL models, combining a standard 2-inch receiver with heavy-duty steel construction and a clean, concealed appearance.

At the center of the design is a Class 3 receiver rated for up to 5,000 pounds of gross trailer weight and 500 pounds of tongue weight. This gives the hitch the structural capacity to support a broad range of towing applications, from utility trailers and small recreational trailers to compatible cargo-hauling accessories. The hitch is also rated for use with a compatible weight distribution system at the same 5,000-pound trailer weight and 500-pound tongue weight limits. However, the Wrangler's actual towing capacity may be substantially lower depending on model year, body style, powertrain, and equipment. Always follow the lowest applicable rating.

The 2-inch receiver opening is one of the most practical features of the CURT 13392. Its industry-standard dimensions let owners choose from many compatible ball mounts, hitch-mounted cargo carriers, and bicycle racks. This flexibility makes the receiver useful even without a trailer. Whether you're carrying additional camping supplies or transporting recreational equipment, the hitch provides a secure mounting location for properly rated accessories.

Unlike universal hitch assemblies, the CURT Receiver Hitch is engineered around the Wrangler's existing rear mounting structure. Its compact, concealed main body sits beneath the rear bumper, keeping the exterior clean without a bulky crossbar extending across the back of the vehicle. The receiver also features an open-back design, allowing accumulated mud, water, and road debris to be cleaned out more easily after demanding use.

Durability is especially important for a hitch that spends its life exposed to road spray, winter salt, dirt, and changing weather conditions. CURT constructs this receiver from precisely welded carbon steel and applies its dual-layer finishing process for long-term protection. The entire hitch receives a rust-resistant liquid A-coat, including interior surfaces, before a high-gloss black powder coat. The coatings are co-cured to create a durable protective barrier against corrosion, chips, and UV exposure.

Installation is designed to take advantage of the Wrangler's existing mounting locations. The hitch attaches to the rear bumper beam using the included hardware, eliminating the need for welding or drilling new mounting holes. Installation requires temporarily lowering the exhaust for access, and some vehicles may require enlarging existing holes.
