Best Trailer Hitches for 2022–2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee & Grand Cherokee L: 5 Fit-Checked Picks

The Draw-Tite 76595 is the one hitch here that lists every WL with no trim exclusion. It has a 2 in square receiver and is rated 7,500 lb gross trailer weight and 1,125 lb tongue weight. That clears the V8's 7,200 lb rating and leaves margin on the V6 and 4xe. Draw-Tite's description gives the same figures under weight distribution, but the spec table on the same page lists weight distribution as not compatible, so confirm with Draw-Tite before using a WD hitch. The 1,125 lb tongue rating is the highest here, which also makes it the best choice for a heavy e-bike rack or a loaded hitch cargo tray. It is solid all-welded steel in black powder coat over e-coat, tested to V-5 and SAE J684, and weighs 42 lb.

Draw-Tite lists it for the 2022–2026 Grand Cherokee and the 2021–2026 Grand Cherokee L, with no trim exclusion, so it is the aftermarket option for a two-row Trailhawk that CURT doesn't cover. The concealed crossbar sits behind the fascia; Draw-Tite quotes 90 minutes with no drilling. Draw-Tite's page title and description call it a Class 4 hitch, as the Amazon title does, while the spec table on the same page lists Hitch Class III; the published 7,500/1,125 lb ratings are the numbers that matter. Draw-Tite doesn't publish a retail price, so check the live listing.

CURT's 13525 is the other brand-name concealed hitch for the WL, and for most non-Trailhawk owners it does the same job as the Draw-Tite. It is a Class 3 with a 2 in receiver, rated 7,500 lb gross trailer weight and 750 lb tongue weight, with the same figures under weight distribution, so it also covers the V8's 7,200 lb rating. CURT co-cures the carbon steel in a liquid A-coat inside and out under gloss black powder coat, uses an open-back receiver that is easy to clean, and weighs 41 lb.

The fitment note matters. CURT lists it for the 2022–2026 Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L, excluding the Trailhawk on the two-row and fitting every L trim. If you drive a two-row Trailhawk, choose the Draw-Tite or the Mopar part. CURT's install sheet has you remove the rear bumper cover and the factory rear bumper beam, lists no trimming or drilling step, and rates the job Difficult with no install time given. CURT's page also says the hitch is not compatible with bike racks that hang bicycles vertically. The warranty is limited lifetime, with one year on the finish and parts. The 750 lb tongue rating is ample for towing but below the Draw-Tite's 1,125 lb if you run a heavy rack.

Mopar's 82219040AA is the receiver Jeep sells as a replacement or add-on for the two-row WL, and the Amazon listing describes it as a Class III, 2 in receiver that is the same as production. For owners who want the vehicle to match a factory tow-package Grand Cherokee, or who lease and want to avoid aftermarket parts, this is the choice. It takes the same ball mounts, bike racks and cargo carriers as any 2 in receiver.

The listing is specific to the two-row WL. The three-row Grand Cherokee L uses a different Mopar receiver, 82219041AA, listed separately, so order by row count. The listing doesn't publish gross trailer or tongue weight figures, so follow your Jeep's own tow rating from the owner's manual. If your vehicle didn't come with the tow package, plan on buying a vehicle-specific wiring harness as well. Dealer pricing varies, so check the live listing and your local parts counter before ordering. Compared with the Draw-Tite, you give up published ratings and a lifetime warranty, and you gain a part-number match to the factory receiver.

If the hitch will mostly carry a bike rack or a small utility trailer, a budget receiver like the Autekcomma saves close to half the price of a brand-name hitch. It is a Class 3 with a 2 in receiver, and the listing names the 2022–2026 Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L. It is sold as a 13525-style hitch, meaning it copies the CURT concealed design and mounting.

That also means you should check the same fit caveat. CURT excludes the two-row Trailhawk from the 13525, so two-row Trailhawk owners should confirm fit with the seller before ordering. Autekcomma doesn't publish the kind of spec sheet CURT and Draw-Tite do, so read the gross trailer and tongue weight figures on the listing and make sure they're at least your Jeep's rating, particularly on a V8 rated at 7,200 lb. Expect the same fascia work as the CURT during installation, and add a vehicle-specific harness if you plan to tow. For a V8 or a regular camper tow, the brand-name hitches with published ratings are worth the extra money.

This generic Class 3 receiver is the second budget option and the listing names the 2022–2024 Grand Cherokee and 2021–2024 Grand Cherokee L. For owners of those years who want a 2 in receiver for a bike rack or a cargo carrier, it does the job for a similar price to the Autekcomma.

The listing's year range stops at 2024, so owners of 2025 and 2026 vehicles should confirm fit with the seller or choose one of the picks that names their year. As with every budget hitch, there's no maker spec sheet to check against, so read the gross trailer and tongue weight figures on the listing and keep them at or above what you plan to tow. Two-row Trailhawk owners should confirm fit too, since budget copies often follow the CURT design and its exclusion. Plan on the same concealed-hitch fascia work as the brand-name options, and add wiring if you tow. If your Jeep is a 2025 or 2026, the Autekcomma or the brand-name hitches list your year and are the safer order.
