2006 Wrangler Unlimited Hitch Installation
I am going to insall a Class III hitch on my 2006 Unlimited, and I
have several options. I can either install the Mopar hitch, whose towing capacity is 3,500 lbs with a 350 lb tongue weight, or a Curt hitch that has 400 lbs tongue and 4000 lbs capacity. I know the Curt hitch requires no special drilling to install. However, I don't know if I can install the Mopar hitch by myself. Anybody know if I can do it myself with the Mopar hitch? Also, what options for wiring do I have? I have seen differing opinions about whether I can use the 4-pin Mopar wiring harness on my Unlimited. Some sites say I can use it, some say I MUST use the more expensive 7-pin harness. Which is right? I only need the 4-pin unit, but if I have to use the 7 pin, I will. Thanks |

first of all .a class 3 hitch is a 10,00 pound cap. hitch with a 500
tongue weight or more and all you need to get for wiring is a product from walmart that plugs right into the factory connectors makes it real easy and it's a 4 pin connector for jet ski trailers and the like jmcgill wrote: > I am going to insall a Class III hitch on my 2006 Unlimited, and I > have several options.

Re: 2006 Wrangler Unlimited Hitch Installation
The Curt hitch might have a 4,000# capacity but your vehicle's maximum
towing capacity is 3,500# You would need the 7-pin harness only if you are towing a trailer with electric brakes. If a trailer has electric brakes it will likely be too big for the vehicle to tow anyway.

Warn will sell you a Bumper with a two inch receiver, of course it's not
a class III, but you could put a class III ball on it and fool a few of the people that would buy a ricer: http://www.warn.com/truck/mounting-s...per_jeep.shtml I would then go to your local parts store and buy the wire adapter that just plugs into the stock harness, like: http://www.warn.com/truck/mounting-s...per_jeep.shtml The Mopar hitch I've seen for your car will the smallest 1 1/4" receiver on it.
