I bought this for my girlfriend's 2012 Jeep Wrangler, I have a Class IV hitch on my Nissan Frontier and she wanted the ability to pull some of our other trailers so I decided to give this hitch a try especially for the price and the included wire harness. I ordered it around 6 PM one night and it was delivered at 6:51 AM the next morning. I've installed several hitches over the years for myself, family members and friends and this was probably one of the easiest I've done so far. It's good and sturdy and has all the features I was looking for for the Jeep. Below are some tips on your install, it took me about 40 minutes including running the wiring harness.TIPS: I HATE removing parts to add something to a vehicle and most instructions you will find for the Wrangler will say either remove the bumper cover or drop the exhaust or both. I took a small wooden wedge and pushed it between the bumper cover and frame and it gave me enough clearance to work with. Put your wedge in and hold the hitch with one and put 2 bolts in to hold the hitch in place while you work. Push the bolts from the engine side towards the bumper, even with the wedge there isn't a ton of clearance but depending on the size of your hands you can hold the nut in place on the backside to thread them on then use your tools to tighten them down. If your fingers are too large, use a pair of pliers or channel locks or something similar to hold the nut in place to threat it then finish it off with the tools. I wanted to use my impact wrench but that mean I would have to drop the exhaust or remove the bumper cover so on the nuts I used a 19mm open ended wrench and on the bolt heads I used a 18mm socket and ratchet and worked like a charm. When removing the screws to install the wire harness use an electric screwdriver or a drill with a Phillips bit just remember to go slow, the screws are close to 2 inches long and you will wear your wrist out removing them and re-installing them when your done. The harness is pretty good because it has plastic rivets along it that push into holes in the frame to hide it away so no more zip tying all over the place! The hitch also has a slot for the 4 pin connected to mount into it to tidy it away for a clean finished look.Hope this helps someone a little. If you're looking for a hitch, this isn't a bad option.
