Valley 82760 Class III Receiver Hitch Review

Nice fit. I was able to install it by myself with a little assistance from a floor jack to hold it up while I threaded the bolts. A little trouble getting the bolts in above the Quest muffler due to limited working space but it was doable. Just take the heat shield off and the holes on the hitch bracket will line right up with the pre-existing threaded holes in the frame. I'm using it for a bike rack so I didn't tackle the electrical wiring. I was nervous about the fit and if the bolt holes would line up properly. Looks real nice. Very happy.

Curt Manufacturing 13160 Class III Receiver Review

I purchased this receiver for my 1999 Jeep Cherokee after much research of all receivers for my model vehicle. Curt makes two different models for my application. I chose the round tube design because I thought it would have a more compact fit on the Jeep and I liked the appearance. Good choice, in hindsight. The receiver has a glossy finish which seems very durable. It did not scratch during install or during the several times it's been used since purchase. Delivery time was as stated.
Installation was as described in the thorough instructions and included all necessary hardware. I also viewed a YouTube video of a similar receiver installation on my vehicle which helped. Of course, since my Jeep is over ten years old, and had some rusted hardware, I had to spend some time preparing for install. Lots of penetrating oil and cleaning of threaded weld nuts on one side of the frame. Take your time and don't break any bolts or you'll have major problems. Not counting this preparation time, It was installed easily by myself in less than an hour.
I would recommend purchasing the matching wire harness connector which plugs right in to the existing vehicle harness behind the left rear interior panel. This took about a half hour.
