Hello neighbors, it's Brad here from etrailer, and today we're taking a look and installing the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver on a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. And the cool part of this hitch is it's going to replace your bumper beam, and that means that it's gonna look like this when you're towing, but when you're not towing, you can simply put the cover back on and it's gonna be completely hidden. This receiver is a two inch by two inch, which is gonna be great because it's kind of the standard size for trailer hitch receivers. So when you're looking for a bike rack, a cargo carrier, or even a ball mount for towing, you're gonna have tons of options available. Now, something you're gonna wanna pay attention to is if those accessories come with a pin and clip, because the hitch does not. So you're gonna want to pick up a 5/8 pin and clip and something I might recommend if you plan on leaving your accessories on your Jeep long term, you might wanna look at a locking pin and clip, becomes a good deterrent for anyone walking by. They can't just take out your pin and clip and take the accessories with them. Safety chain loops are nice and easy to hook up. A standard S hook or even a larger clevis style is gonna work on here. And something I'll point out is gonna be wiring is a great thing to add if you are planning on towing. And this is a kit that I would highly recommend doing at the same time as your hitch, because you're gonna have the fascia off, making it super easy to get it all installed. Now, as far as capacities go, this is rated pretty well. So gross trailer weight rating is gonna be the weight of the trailer plus the accessories loaded, and it comes in at 7,500 pounds. Tongue weight rating is gonna be the suspended weight or the weight that's put down on the receiver tube opening, and that's gonna come in at 750 pounds. So what does that mean for you Well, if you're getting a four-bike bike rack loaded up or a cargo carrier loaded up, I really don't have any concerns that you're gonna overload it. It can be used with a weight distribution hitch, but the numbers are gonna stay exactly the same. And even with high capacities, you may be tempted to hook up that 7,500 pound trailer, but check to see what the vehicle is capable of towing. Just because the hitch can do it doesn't mean that your drive train, suspension or brakes are gonna want to handle that weight. So double-check that and then compare it with the hitch capacities. The hitch pin hole is pretty well in line with the furthest point of the fascia. What does that mean Well, some bike racks and cargo carriers can stow in a vertical position and they don't work on all cars. It kind of depends on, you know, if there's a huge gap or not. This one, I have zero worries that you're gonna have any issues with it folding up, but something to keep in mind is when you have those folded up, it's more than likely going, well, it's gonna make it to where you can't open up your rear hatch unless you lower it. Not a big deal, but it may block your backup camera, your license plates, and potentially your taillights. So just keep that in mind when you have them loaded. Something else that's gonna be important is gonna be ground clearance, and this one comes in at a very healthy 22 1/2 inches. So, that's not really my concern that ground clearance is gonna bottom out accessories or anything along those lines, because this one is super high. But that means you're gonna want to probably get a drop configuration if you plan on towing a trailer. And the way to figure out what drop you need, get your trailer all set up, level on the ground and measure from the ground to the top of the coupler and then compare that with our measurement, do some math, and that's gonna figure out that drop necessary so that way you get everything nice and level going down the road. Finally, really it comes down to the installation of this. This is a little bit more than you might expect because the fascia does come off, but that's how you're able to get this nice clean fit and be able to hide it when you're not using it. And I think that is totally worth it because you spend a little extra time for the install, but you're gonna get all the usability, some really high capacities and when you're not using it, you can't even tell it's
