• Differences Between Curt Hitches 13084 and 13160 for a 1999 Jeep Cherokee
  The install for the two hitches you mentioned are going to be the exact same. The difference is that the # 13084 has a square cross tube and the part # 13160 uses a round cross tube. It's purely an aesthetic thing. Some people prefer the look of one over the other. Since the square tube hitch # 13084 costs less it would be what I would go with.
