Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer. Today on our 2022 Jeep Wrangler unlimited. We're gonna be showing you how to install the Curt trailer hitch receiver. But before we do that, why don't we check it out and make sure that this is gonna be the right one for your Jeep When it comes to the Jeep, there's a ton of different accessories available for it. And they accept them really well. And you can do a lot of different things and that's really no different with the with the trailer hitch here.
So having a hitch on the back is gonna open up your opportunities on what you can do. Whether you're trying to pull a trailer around or even use an accessory. Say like a bike rack or a cargo carrier. Having the hitch back here is, is gonna allow you to get that job done. With this being a class three hitch, it is gonna have the two inch by two inch receiver, two opening.
And that is a very common size. Lot of different stuff's gonna work with it. At the end, there's a reinforced collar for some extra strength. And it is going to use that standard 5/8 pin and clip. but keep in mind pin and clip won't come included with the hitch.
If you need one, you can always grab it right here at etrailer. They're gonna have plate style, safety chain openings and these are gonna be large enough to allow us to use just about any size hook that our trailer might have. When it comes to the hitches weight capacities, it's gonna have a 350 pound maximum gross tongue weight rating and that's gonna be the amount of weight pushing down on the hitch. So that's a relatively high number. You should be able to use most bike racks and cargo carriers.
Just gonna give you an example. As far as hitches maximum gross trailer weight rating goes, that's gonna be 3,500 pounds or the amount of weight that is pulling on the hitch. That's the weight of your trailer plus anything that you might have on it. This can be used with the weight distribution system which is a separate component. And what happens whenever you use that, it's going to keep your trailer and your Jeep level whenever you're towing it down the road. So if you have a bigger trailer or camper or something like that might be worth checking into. With that said, if you do use the weight distribution the capacities are gonna increase a little bit maximum gross tongue weight will be 400 and the maximum trailer weight will be 4,000. With all that in mind though, I do always like to suggest it's never a bad idea just to grab your Jeep's owner's manual. That way you can make sure your Wrangler Unlimited can pull that much weight safely. Let's go ahead and just grab a few measurements. And these are to help us figure out what inch amount of accessories will work best. We go from the ground to the top inside edge of the receiver tube opening. It's gonna be about 19 1/2 inches. So if you plan on getting a ball mount to tow a trailer, chances are pretty good. You can get one that just has a very slight drop in the shank. We go from the center of the Hitchman hole to the edge of the rear bumper. That's gonna be about 2 1/2 inches. And if you go from the pinhole to the edge of our spare tire, that's gonna be about eight inches. And you can use those measurements to help figure out that if any folding type accessories you might have can be stored in an upright position without hitting the back of your tire. Now, with all that said, and with changing tire sizes and doing lift kits and things like that are really popular on these Jeeps. If you do that, that can obviously affect the measurements, right And just to kind of give you a reference today, our Jeep the tire size is a 245/75 17. Other than that though, you know hitch gotta get the job done. I think it looks pretty good too. But this one, you know, the end of the receiver tube is pretty much flush with your back bumper. I will say, if you primarily plan on using accessories your bike rack, cargo carrier, might not be a bad idea to think about getting a hitch that extends a little bit further out. Just buys you a little more clearance so you can fold everything up especially if you have larger tires. But I just wanted to throw that out there. As far as the installation goes, really not too bad. Essentially, you just hold the hitch up and put the bolt through it and tighten them down. So really shouldn't run into too many issues, but if you'd like to see how that's done, feel free to hang out. We'll go ahead, pull into the garage and put the hitch on the other knot. To begin our installation, we're already working here at the back of our Jeep. And along this cross beam here, we're gonna have some attachment points t
