Class 3 Trailer Hitch, 2-Inch Receiver, For 2011-2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 6000 Lbs Towing Capacity

A Class 3 Trailer Hitch for the Jeep Grand Cherokee

This is a Class 3 trailer hitch with a 2-inch receiver, built for the 2011-2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee, rated for up to 6,000 lbs of towing capacity. If you're looking to tow a small trailer, mount a bike rack or cargo carrier, or add a tow hook for recovery, this hitch bolts on using the factory frame mounting points without cutting or drilling into the vehicle.

Why a 3-Piece Design

Trailer hitches are often shipped and installed as a single heavy welded frame, which is strong but awkward for one person to maneuver into position under the vehicle alone. This hitch splits into 3 sections that install separately and are then joined with high-strength bolts, which keeps each individual piece lighter and easier to handle during installation while still forming a receiver just as strong as a one-piece design once it's fully bolted together. For anyone installing this in a driveway rather than on a lift, that difference in how each piece can be handled and positioned individually is a meaningful advantage.

Compatibility

Fits the 2011-2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Because Jeep updated the Grand Cherokee's platform and underbody structure across this model run, it's worth confirming your specific model year against the listing photos before ordering, particularly if your Grand Cherokee has any aftermarket underbody modifications that could interfere with the factory mounting points.

Why Class 3 Instead of a Smaller Hitch

Hitch classes are rated by towing capacity, and a Class 3 hitch with a 2-inch receiver sits in the middle of the range, capable of handling small to mid-size trailers, most bike racks and cargo carriers, and light-duty towing without needing the larger, heavier-duty Class 4 or 5 hitches built for full-size trucks towing much heavier loads. For a Grand Cherokee used for occasional towing, moving gear, or adding a hitch-mounted accessory, Class 3 covers the vast majority of what most owners actually need without the added weight and cost of an oversized hitch. The 3 available hitch levels on this unit also give some flexibility in how the ball mount sits relative to the vehicle, which matters for keeping a trailer level once it's hooked up.

Installation Notes

Installing this hitch means positioning each of the 3 frame sections against the factory mounting points on the underside of the Grand Cherokee, bolting each wing into place individually, and then joining the sections together with the included high-strength hardware. Because the receiver needs to sit level and square to the vehicle for towing to feel stable, double-checking alignment before fully torquing every bolt is worth the extra few minutes, and torquing all hardware to spec once everything is aligned is important given how much load a Class 3 hitch is rated to carry. A final check of every bolt after the first few tow trips is also good practice, since hardware can settle slightly once the hitch has been loaded for the first time.
