I just ordered my 4xe, and I noticed that it has a 'Class II Receiver Hitch'. My Cherokee Trailhawk has a Class III 2" hitch. Is the class II hitch 2" or is it only 1 1/4"? The 3500 lb capacity is fine for my little Jon boat and bicycle carrier (that plugs into the hitch), but all my stuff is 2".

If it is not, can you switch out just the middle part with the receiver, or do you need to install a whole new hitch?

Thanks, - John

Its a class II but with a 2" opening. I switched out the Class II hitch receiver for a Class III on my 2018 JL because the factory hitch just seemed way to flimsy. The exact same hitch is on the 4xe (I have one on order) so I will be switching this one out too. I have another post on this topic. I will try to figure out how to post links here.
