Question:

I have a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT. It didnt come with a hitch. Theres no option for the SRT. Is it the same as the regular Grand Cherokee? Im looking to haul a 23foot boat with a tandem trailer.

We have trailer hitches that fit your 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT like the # e98901 which would fit great and has plenty of towing capacity. You'll also need trailer wiring like the part # 118727 so that you can control the trailer lighting as well.

Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in 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 include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
