Extremely pleased! I've included some install tips
Fit and finish is very good and seems like it will be durable -- better than expected! The wiring harness is easy to use & plenty long to allow for routing. They provide multiple tie-downs to make the wiring secure and provide a factory look. Install was easy for one person. The only negative is that the installation instructions are just snapshots from the video on this Amazon listing, but neither tells you how to remove the bumper, and neither provides wrench sizes or torque specs.INSTALL TIPS:1. The video shows the bumper removed, but doesn't tell you how. It's easy as there are only eight 15mm bolts. It does help to have both long and short 15mm sockets. Do a DuckDuckGo search for a video showing the bumper removal so you can see where the bolts are. Once unbolted, the bumper is lightweight plastic and easy to handle.2. The spare does NOT need to be removed as shown in some videos online. Just open the door all the way.3. I used a 19mm socket and Crescent wrench for the new hitch bolts. They are super easy to get to with the bumper off. Unfortunately, the video doesn't give any torque specs. The hitch squeezes against the frame as you tighten. Start at one end, then tighten all four in sequence so it doesn't warp or bow in the middle. Then re-tighten all four again because the first ones you tightened will have loosened a bit as the others took up the pressure. Even a 3rd tightness check wouldn't hurt just for security.4. Pay attention as you remove the left taillight because there are two types of screws. The two closest to the tailgate are pointed sheet metal screws that actually hold the unit on. The outboard screws are coarser to fit into the plastic positioning molding.

Lightweight, Easy to Install
Came with all the necessary hardware and was overall pretty easy to install with the right tools and not needing to remove the bumper for access. Seems to be pretty sturdy and functional for most lighter-duty tasks. It also included the harness for the rail lights/4-way flat trailer plug! I forgot it came with that so that was great to see as well. It’s a nice fit and aligns nicely with the center of the Jeep. Overall a good value for the money! The light plug could be just a little better quality and a weight rating stamped or labeled on the unit itself would be nice just to quickly identify this hitch’s maximum capacity by design separate from what the Jeep’s factory capacities may be. Seems to be nice and durable for its design and I feel it would function within its rated capacity no problem.

Quality, Easy To Install!
A very high quality hitch that came with everything necessary to install. Installation start to finish took me under 30 minutes.I didn’t remove the bumper cover, having previously glued the lock washer to the washer before pushing the bolts in from the back. Once the washers were on the bolts, I taped the nut to a 19mm open end wrench and slipped it up to the bolt. A bit tricky, but doable. Use a short 19mm socket on the muffler side of the frame rail.The taillight is taken off by removing the four Phillips head screws. Note that the lens doesn’t come off the taillight bucket, the entire assembly comes off. Unplug the wiring, connect the plug in the included wire harness, run the other end down and out at the bottom and reinstall the taillight. Carefully route the harness to the trailer hitch, avoiding the muffler. The included cable ties didn’t fit the existing holes in the frame, so I used my own. That’s it!

Solid piece
Easy to install, and to wire up. Have used it for trailers and for bike racks. Solid.

Receiver
Works great. Some difficulty getting the nut on the bolt due to the very small area between the frame and bumper to maneuver it onto the bolt and tighten.

This DOES fit the 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4xe JL.
The model that Amazon recommends for a Jeep Wrangler 4xe JL is the wrong one because it has welded bolts on the tow mount. That will not work because the Jeep Wrangler 4xe 2022 model also has welded bolts. This is the model you need for that specific Jeep.You wedge the plate in between the welding mount that's already there and it fits fine.
