I got none of the above - I went with a Rough Country Hitch for about $90. OEM specs. It's perfect!

I'm not sure how many of you have noticed but there are some big differences between some of them such as wiring harness holders and such. I'm sorry but I don't know which one does or doesn't but there is certainly a difference in features in some.

I went with the MOPAR from the factory. Originally I was going to install a hitch myself after I bought the Jeep but the dealer threw it in installed for the same cost as I would pay to buy the hitch ($70) I believe.

I bought the RC one off ebay. IIRC it was $80 shipped. I think the stealership wanted $140 uninstalled. Installation is really easy and straight forward. I didn't have the issues other have had with the 4th bolt not lining up.

I went with the factory hitch as some stick out oddly and some of the early aftermarket ones are stamped "not tow rated" which is something in Pa that gets checked at DOT stops. And yes I have been stopped and weights checked in my work truck and my private truck. Up where I live We only have St. Police so We get all the fun sobriety check points, insurance check points, seat belt check points and trailer/truck regulation check points.. always fun!

I have the hidden hitch one from Quadratec.com and it works really well and takes tons of rock hits without bending so far but it olny downfall is that it does stick out pretty far compaired to the stock one. Pic for proof.



I think its kind of good to protect the spare though.
