Is there a Hitch that Will Fit a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 2 Wheel Drive

Expert Reply:

I called Valley, the manufacturer of the Valley Class III Round Tube Trailer Hitch Receiver, # V81800, to see why the hitch will not fit a 2WD model. My contact told me that because so few 2WD Jeep Grand Cherokees were made for the 2001 model year, Valley did not make a hitch specifically for it. He also told me that the instructions are correct, it will not fit 2WD models.

I then called Cequent, manufacturer of Hidden and Draw-Tite, and my contact there stated that the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 75139, is a hitch that has been around for a long time and that in that time, he has never come across any problems with the hitch being used on 2WD or 4WD models. I believe the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 75139, is your best option. I have included a link to the instructions below.
