Question:
I’m looking to put a trailer hitch on my 2016 Jeep Cherokee latitude, 3.2 V6. What would you recommend?
asked by: Christi
Helpful Expert Reply:
I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13172. This hitch features a concealed crossbar, so the only portion of the hitch that'll be visible from the rear is the receiver tube and the safety chain loops.
If you'll be using the hitch for towing, you'll need a few other items to complete your towing system. For a wiring harness, use # 118605, for a ball mount go with # D-28 and the # PC3 hitch pin. For a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball, use # 19260 or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball.
I've linked to an install video for the hitch and the wiring harness I recommended.
