We know the new Jeep Renegade. Renegade Ready created the Retrofit Trailer Hitch Kit so all Jeep Renegade owners could have the factory in-bumper 2" receiver hitch. It's the perfect height for trailering and bike racks and won't take away from departure angle or ground clearance.
Save $$ Hundreds! - our exclusive kit DOES NOT require purchase of an expensive and hard-to-get pre-cut bumper cover. It can be installed on any model Jeep Renegade with any size engine (read owners' manual towing guidelines if planning to tow). Even Jeep dealers buy our kit!
Our kit includes all the necessary Jeep factory parts, precise self adhesive templates and detailed instructions with photos guiding you step-by-step through the process of disassembling the bumper cover and bumper components, cutting the bezel-matching hole in your existing bumper cover, installing the factory hitch bumper and trim bezel, reassembly, and optionally wiring your Jeep Renegade for trailer lights.
Renegade Ready Retrofit Hitch Kit Includes
- Custom 2” Receiver Hitch (Made in Texas, USA exclusively for this kit)
- A Trailer Light Converter Kit
- Bezel Fascia. This is the decorative trim piece to frame the receiver and connector that is inserted into the plastic bumper cover—a precision hole must be cut for the bezel using the template provided.
- 10 - specialty body panel retainer clips. Certain body panels must be removed but doing so requires the destruction of the existing panel retainer clips. These clips are provided to replace the clips you will break during install.
- 6 - 14mm factory anchor bolts (needed for non-Trailhawk models and now included with all kits)
- Self Adhesive Cutting Template. Self Adhesive Template with cutting lines and alignment marks that is placed onto the bumper cover to show exact cutting location for the bezel mounting hole and slits for bezel snap-in anchor tabs. This part alone can save you many hours of extra work and virtually eliminate the risk of cutting the panels incorrectly.
- Template Position Checker that is used to verify that template has been accurately located and adhered on the bumper cover prior to before making any cuts.
- Detailed, 12-page printed instruction manual with full color photos of each step and time saving tips.
No other kit comes close to this kit. Our detailed instructions, templates and other misc parts drastically simplify the installation process and virtually eliminate the chance of making a mistake. This is one of the many reasons on why this is now the #1 selling retrofit hitch on the market today.
