ECOTRIC Class IV Trailer Hitch Receiver and Bezel Compatible with 2011-2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Replacement for 82212180AC 82212180AD 3 Stages 2-inch Square Receiver (You Will Receive 2 Packages)

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.

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.

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.

This hitch doesn’t fit to my Jeep Grand Cherokee 2015. It’s 1/2 inches narrower then the holder where it should slide in. Also, one of the screw hole was filled with the welding, so it could not be screwed. In addition one screw got broken when try to assemble this Receiver. As a result, wasted 3 hours to disassemble bumper, try to install hitch receiver, then assemble bumper back. Then lost 20$ to return it.

Nice! Fits like a glove, MUCH heavier duty than the original cheapo stamped bumper, btw! Video on line makes install a breeze. Hint: use a multi tool to cut through original bumper pad!

I watched several you tube videos on how to mount the hitch before I bought it and they were helpful with one exception. They show prying off the lower half of the bumper instead of taking off the whole thing. Before I did this on my 2019 Grand Cherokee I crawled under and looked at the clips. They were not the same type as shown in the videos and if I would have just tried prying them out I would have messed something up. Most of my clips were 2 pieces each with a piece that snapped through a loop on the other piece after it went through the bumper. I just reached up, removed the retainer clip then the other half slipped off. There were a couple small bolts at the wheel well then the lower half of the bumper slipped off easily. I installed this by myself and it was easy. I barely had to lift the upper part of the bumper to slide out the frame piece and then slide in the hitch. Definitely not worth taking the whole bumper off just check to see what type of clips you have first. I was worried about not having a template to cut out the shape for the bumper but when I wiped some of the dirt off the inside of the bumper, the dirt filled the outlines (already etched in on the factory bumper) that I needed to cut but couldn't see before. I just used a rotary tool like a pen and followed the lines to cut out the hole.

Bought this in conjunction with trailer hitch installation skirt for lower portion of 2021 Grand Cherokee which had no OEM towing package features. It worked fine with the skirt from Amazon and mated up with all tabs (note: no clips are included with order). The only small challenge was making minor trimming modifications to the opening for the electrical box that came with the Drawtite factory-style hitch. Took a few extra minutes.

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.)

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!
