Need instructions for Mopar 68334758AA receiver hitch. And a hardware list.

[chrismeece74]

I just removed my factory non-receiver yesterday and replaced with the Mopar Class IV receiver. The bolts that attached that to the frame appeared to be the exact same ones that came with my new receiver. I managed to lose one of the shorter ones and needed to reuse 1 of them.

If doing it yourself, I suggest propping up the new receiver on a 5-gallon bucket to lift it into place while you set the first side bolts. It was kind of a pain in the ass when I did it yesterday. You also need a heavy duty torque wrench to set the bolts to spec.

Exactly what I used a couple of weeks ago when I did this install....for torque wrench I just went to autozone and borrowed theirs and set the torque in their parking lot. Pretty easy install though if you take your time.

Is there a sticker or placard on the Gladiator that gives the tow rating of that specific vehicle?

I checked the normal labels on the drivers door opening and nothing noted on the two labels.

The owners manual says that, for a diesel Rubicon Gladiator the GCWR (Gross Combined Vehicle Weight Rating) = 11,800 pounds, Maximum GTW (Gross Tow Weight) = 6,000 pounds, and Maximum TW (Tongue Weight) = 600 pounds.

In the absence of vehicle specific labeling, and with the owners manual specifications given above, that so long as cooling capacity and electrical output is addressed the owners manual specs would be the correct ones to use.

As an aside, all of the non Rubicon diesel Gladiators have higher tow ratings, which are GCWR (Gross Combined Vehicle Weight Rating) = 12,100 pounds, Maximum GTW (Gross Tow Weight) = 6,500 pounds, and Maximum TW (Tongue Weight) = 650 pounds. And diesels have no Max Tow options.
