2018 Jeep Renegade Trailer Hitch Installation

[@dailyrandoms2264]

Recommend the hidden hitch from etrailer no cutting and very easy install looks almost like factory hitch

[@Beeautifullifefarm]

The whole I was thinking why not remove the tires

[@dealy9268]

HMMMM I wonder if I can drill through the frame and use longer bolts. This is crazy!

[@aaronschoessow9567]

I hope that hitch comes with more than one pull wire! Check your hardware and make sure before attempting to Hitch install, there should be six of them...

Music is not necessary just a distraction. Other wise good

[@Ktonrider]

What a ridiculous setup to install a hitch. F this, gonna pay someone to install my wife’s. My Jeep was so much easier than this. I can totally see bolts getting pushed back into the frame if I were to attempt this, I don’t need the aggravation

[@jeffb8562]

Imagine my aggravation when I contacted the dealership that I purchased my renegade from. They told me $2795 to install a trailer hitch. I will never do business with this dealership again. Riverside Auto Marinette Wisconsin

[@2S1L3NT]

@@jeffb8562 To be fair, the dealership one mounts the hitch about midway in the bumper. It doesn't hang down like that. Its a far larger and more complicated design. You have to remove the rear bumper cover (PITA), and a lot goes into how it mounts. Also if you had the wrong bumper cover to start, they likely quoted you for the correct one since theres a hole in the center for the hitch to protrude from...

Just something about cutting a frame to install a hitch bothers me

[@jeep_751]

Because he didn't realize jeep renegade has a access square 5in away from him

[@kheikkila4cii]

“Frame”.. unibody, so just formed sheet metal.

@@jeep_751 Can you email me at millsmay67@gmail in reference to your comment. The person doing my u-haul hitch install want to “trim my bumper”. Not the screw holes on the frame but CUT the bumper. This video says nothing about trimming the bumper. 2018 Renegade as well…

@@tammymills351 no you do not need to cut bumper

[@jeffb8562]

@@tammymills351 it depends on which one you buy. Some hitches you have to cut a small hole through the plastic square part of the so-called bumper. To me, that seems the better way to go then your hitch won’t be 4 inches off the ground. I know I’ve been looking for Waze because the dealer that I bought the vehicle from told me $2500 to put a hitch on it which is absolutely fucking ridiculous. Thank you, Fiat. And thanks for not giving me a spare tire.

[@mw-zy5dr]

Went as expected except had to cut off tabs on exhaust pipe hangers that point up.They were to wide to let hitch go up.

[@FredLopez-fd6bo]

Or take bumper off and access holes are there

[@dealy9268]

This SUUUUCCCCKKKKSSSS!!!!

[@filmmakershelp]

Where do I get the fish wire?

[@trailerhitches]

It comes with the kit!

[@tammymills351]

Thanks @Jeep877 Adventures. I didn’t think so…..
