Nilight 2" Rear Receiver Hitch for Jeep Wrangler JK (2007-2018) — 4-Pin Wiring, 3,500 lb Capacity

Nilight JK-61A is a direct-fit 2" rear receiver hitch kit designed to bolt to your 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK frame for reliable towing and plug-and-play trailer wiring.

This one-piece, welded receiver hitch matches factory mounting points and follows OE-style geometry so installation is straightforward and secure. Finished in a heavy-duty black powder coat, the JK-61A resists corrosion and sheds water for long-term durability. Nilight includes a 4-pin wiring harness built to original-equipment specifications to integrate with the Jeep’s factory connector without cutting or splicing.

How strong is this hitch and what towing loads can it handle?

The JK-61A is engineered with thick steel tubing and reinforced welds to meet the load ratings listed by Nilight. With a weight-distributing setup, it supports up to 3,500 lb gross trailer weight and 350 lb tongue weight; without weight distribution the rating is 2,000 lb GTW and 200 lb TW. These ratings make it suitable for small trailers, cargo carriers, and many light recreational setups.

• 3,500 lb gross trailer weight with weight distribution
• 350 lb tongue weight with weight distribution
• 2,000 lb GTW and 200 lb TW without weight distribution
• One-piece welded assembly for consistent strength

Will this fit my Jeep Wrangler JK, and is installation difficult?

The hitch is specifically made for 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK models, both 2-door and 4-door Unlimited versions; it is not compatible with JL-series vehicles. Nilight’s design bolts directly to the factory mounting points, so no drilling is required and the hole pattern aligns with the Jeep’s frame. The package includes all mounting hardware and a plug-and-play 4-pin wiring harness to simplify hookup.

• Fits 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK 2-door and 4-door (excludes JL)
• Direct bolt-on — no drilling or frame modification
• All mounting hardware included for a complete kit
• Plug-and-play 4-pin harness integrates with factory connector

How does the finish and construction protect the hitch long-term?

Nilight applies a black powder-coat finish to the steel assembly to fend off rust and abrasion from road debris. The heavy-duty steel construction with thick welds reduces flex and stress points during towing, while the one-piece build eliminates joints that can weaken over time. A removable hitch cover is included to keep the receiver tube clear of mud, dirt, and pests when not in use.

• Durable powder-coat resists corrosion and chipping
• Thick steel and strong welds for long service life
• Removable receiver cover protects the tube opening
• Wiring harness built to OEM specs prevents electrical issues

Who is this for? The Nilight JK-61A is aimed at Jeep Wrangler JK owners who want a robust, factory-style towing solution without permanent vehicle modification. It suits drivers who tow light trailers, use cargo carriers, or need a dependable hitch for weekend gear and off-road recovery accessories. If you own a JL-model Jeep, this unit will not fit; for JK owners seeking a clean bolt-on install with OEM-style wiring compatibility, the JK-61A is a practical choice.
