Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2016 Jeep Cherokee  

Question:

Expert Reply:

While we have trailer hitches for the 2016 Jeep Cherokee hitch # 75712 will not fit because it is designed only for the 2007 to 2017 Jeep Compass and Patriot.

For the 2016 Jeep Cherokee Curt hitch # C13172 is a popular option. It fits Latitude, Latitude Altitude, Limited, Sport, and Trailhawk models.

If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

And if your Jeep did not come with a trailer connector you can add a 4-Way flat to the rear of the vehicle using # 118605. I have linked videos showing example installations of the hitch and wiring.
