• Adding a Brake Controller to a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  I'd be happy to help clear up any confusion; because you do not have the factory tow package you are going to need to install a few parts in order to use an electric brake controller. You will need to start by adding the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118425. From there you'll need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7, which will give you the 7-pin connector to allow you to use your trailer's electric brakes. Finally, of...

• Trailer Wiring for 2007 Jeep Commander
  If your 2007 Jeep Commander was equipped with a factory tow package there is going to be a wiring connector on the inside of your driver side rear bumper that our part # 118381 plugs into. If you have that connector then this is the part you need for a 4-way. Use part # HM42190 for a 7-way. If you already have a hitch and no wiring it is likely someone installed the hitch and not the wiring and it's not factory installed. If it doesn't have a hitch someone could have taken off the factory...

• Hitch That Fits a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo
  Each of the hitches you mentioned, the Curt # 13251 and Draw-Tite # 75338 will fit a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo; the only models they will not fit are the SRT-8. I recommend going with the Draw-Tite # 75338 because it has a tongue weight capacity of 750 lbs, which is 250 lbs more than the Curt hitch. I've added a photo showing how this hitch looks on a Laredo for you to take a look at. To add a 4-way connector you will need wiring harness # 118425 if your Jeep does not have the...

• Space Between Mounting Brackets on Curt Hitch 13414 for a 2008 Jeep Commander Sport
  I went out to the warehouse to measure the bracket opening on Curt trailer hitch # 13414 for your 2008 Jeep Commander. It is 2-1/2 inches. Draw-Tite hitch # 75338 comes with some extra washers if there is an excessive gap between the hitch and where it attaches to the vehicle so you might consider it. 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...

• What Weight Distribution And Sway Control for Jeep Commander Towing A 7,000 Pound Car Hauler
  The first thing to do before you start towing is to always check the owners manual or the car dealer for the GCVWR (Gross Combined Vehicle Weight Rating) of your vehicle. The GCVWR is the maximum allowable weight capacity for your vehicle, including the vehicle, trailer and contents. You will need to check the hitch on your vehicle to make sure it has the correct weight capacity. Also, if you can add weight distribution to your hitch, to tow your 7,000 lb. trailer. The class or weight...

• 2006 Jeep Commander Trailer Hitch, Brake Controller, and Weight Distribution Recommendation
  On your 2006 Jeep Commander you will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118408. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885....

• Towing Capacity for 2006 Jeep Commander V6

If you need a hitch installed as well we have the Draw Tite part # 75338 which has more than enough capacity. For trailer wiring the part # 118408 will give you the easiest to install and most reliable kit. Since you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900.

• Recommended Hitch for Maximizing Towing Capacity on a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  First thing to know is that you cannot increase your towing capacity by upgrading your hitch. Instead you can maximize your towing capacity. You will have to abide by the lowest rated component in your setup, which may end up being your vehicle in this case. In my research for your vehicle I came across the weight capacities per drivetrain, I've attached a snapshot of this from page 312. This should also be listed on the placard on the inside of your driver's door. The Draw-Tite 2...

• What Do I need to Prepare a 2007 Jeep Commander for Towing.
  I would use a Class III receiver hitch with a 2 inch opening. The Class III hitches will have more capacity and available accessories than the Class II hitches available for the 2007 Jeep Commander. We have 5 different hitches that will fit your Commander. I have linked to a page that has all of them. None of the hitches we have for your Commander require drilling. A lot of Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler SUVs have started using hitches that are designed to bolt to the integrated frame bumper like...

  Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75338 is listed as a fit for all styles of the 2008 Jeep Commander so that would include the Rocky Mountain Edition.

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...

• Installing Trailer Hitch On 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo
  The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 75338 that is confirmed as a fit for your 2005 Grand Cherokee is installed right behind the bumper. In the attached instructions there are 2 plastic pins that hold the bumper fascia onto the bumper that have to be removed first. Then you need to slide the fascia rearward about an inch to install the trailer hitch. Since you have a trailer hitch already installed, you will need to make sure it is bolted on and that a replacement trailer...

• Weight Distribution For 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  A weight distribution system is not a vehicle specific item. As long as the hitch included with the tow package on your Grand Cherokee is compatible with weight distribution, and Jeep makes no prohibitions about using weight distribution, you can certainly use the properly rated system. In order to recommend the correct system for you, I will need to know the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of your trailer, plus the weight of anything stowed in the cargo area behind the rear...

• Availabillity of a Hitch for the 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo Rocky Mountain Edition
  The Curt instructions do say that their hitch will not fit on the Rocky Mountain Edition vehicles. I spoke to my contact and was told that there is a bumper bracket that interferes with their hitch on that model. I checked with my contact at Reese, Draw-Tite and Hidden hitch and was told that their hitches will fit the Rocky Mountain edition. You can choose from any of their hitches on the page linked below. I would recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitch, item # 75338, which we...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 2010 Jeep Commander
  For your 2010 Jeep Commander I recommend the Draw tite class 3 hitch # 75338 . This has a 2" receiver and is rated for towing up to 5,000 lbs. The tongue weight capacity is 750 lbs, making the strongest hitch available for your vehicle. Installation will be very easy. You really will not find an easier install for a trailer hitch. 4 bolts and that is it. If you plan to tow a trailer, I also recommend the 4-flat wiring harness # 118408, if trailer wiring is not already present on the vehicle....

• Trailer Hitch Fit for 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L
  The Draw-Tite # 75338 is a fit for the 2006-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee, so it won't fit your 2022 Grand Cherokee L. I'd recommend the Curt # C97JR Class III hitch which is a confirmed fit. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # C59236, a ball mount like # 2753 and a trailer ball like # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer ball.

• HItch For 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo Rocky Mountain Edition
  The only 2” hitch that is specifically confirmed to fit a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Rocky Mountain Edition is the Draw-Tite # 75338 Max-Frame Hitch Receiver. There is also a 1-1/4” receiver (Draw-Tite # 36362 ) but it does not offer the same towing capacities, and a 2” receiver will be more rigid when using bike or cargo mounts. It is important to note that this hitch is not compatible with a factory installed rear tow hook – it will need to be permanently removed if present. I have included...

• Can a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Tow 7,500 Lbs with Class III Trailer Hitch
  The trailer hitch options for a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee such as the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75338 are tested separately of the vehicle therefore even though the trailer hitch may be rated for 7,500 lbs, that does not mean you can tow that much as the vehicle is likely lower. I recommend checking your owner's manual to verify the vehicle's towing capacity as if it's lower than the hitch it's the one you'll need to abide by.

• How To Determine if a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee has a 7-Way
  If you look at the back of your 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee and see a wiring connector that looks like the Tow Ready Wiring harness part # 20135 then you have a 7-way. Another option you could have is a 4-way which would look like part # 18172, or you might not have any connector at all. To add a 4-way you would first want the Tow Ready Wiring harness part # 118394.

• Choosing the Correct Hitch for a Jeep Grand Cherokee 2006
  I recommend the Draw-Tite Hitch item # 75338. The Draw-Tite has a higher towing and tongue capacity than the Curt item # 13251. The Draw-Tite has a 7500 lbs GTW over 5000 lbs GTW for the Curt.
