Today we are working on a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. We will be installing a Curt hitch,
part number 13051. Here are a couple of measurements that will assist you with selecting accessories
for your new hitch, such as a draw bar, a bike rack or a cargo carrier. From the center
of the hitch pin hole to the outer most point of the bumper is approximately 6 inches. And
from the top of the receiver tube to the ground is 15-1/2 inches. Now let us go ahead with
the installation. 0:27 There will be three mounting points for this
hitch. Out rear most mounting point will be here up under the fascia. We have our middle
and our forward most mounting point on the driver side. This will be identical on the
passenger side. We have the three fasteners removed on the driver side. Go ahead and repeat
the same process on the passenger side. For the ease of installation of our new hardware,
I am going to go ahead and hit each one of the mounting points with some spray lubricant.
With all of our fasteners removed and our points lubricated, we are ready to install
our hitch. 1:03
