  • How To Determine Tongue Weight Capacity for a 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk
    Unless otherwise noted your tongue weight capacity would be 450 lbs as the tongue weight capacity for a vehicle is almost always 10 percent of the total trailer weight it can tow. I attached a couple FAQ articles on towing to the right that you might find informative as well.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Non-Trailhawk 2018 Jeep Cherokee
    The Draw-Tite # DT28MR will only fit Trailhawk models, as they have a different rear bumper. If you attempted to install it on a non-Trailhawk model the bumper would get in the way and prevent you from installing it. For a non-Trailhawk 2018 Jeep Cherokee, I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13172. When installed, the hitch will be mostly concealed behind the bumper with the only visible portions of the hitch being the square receiver tube and the safety chain hoops. The installation...

In fact, the attached installation video and photo is on this trailer hitch installed on a 2017 Jeep Latitude. If you let me know what you plan on using the trailer hitch for I can make additional recommendations if necessary.

  • Trailer Hitch for 2014 Jeep Cherokee Sport 2.4 L Front Wheel Drive
    The Curt hitch part # C13172 is a fit for your 2014 Jeep Cherokee front wheel drive and would be a really great option as it has plenty of towing capacity and also is mostly hidden since only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper.

    The best concealed trailer hitch receiver for your 2018 Jeep Cherokee Latitude with twin exhausts is from Curt, and is the following part number: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13172 This is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver and 5,000 lb capacity, and I have added a photo for you of the hitch on a Cherokee with twin exhausts so you can see exactly what it will look like on your Jeep.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for 2015 Jeep Cherokee
    For your 2015 Jeep Cherokee, I do recommend going with the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13171 because as you mentioned, you will not need to do any fascia trimming on the Jeep during installation. You are correct that this hitch will have a ground clearance measurement that is exactly 1 inch shorter than on the # C13172, however this small difference should not present an issue. I have attached the installation video on your Jeep Cherokee that you can use for reference. For a bike rack that...

  • Correct Curt Trailer Hitch for a 2019 Jeep Cherokee
    Great question! Initially the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13172 was listed as a fit for the 2019 Jeep Cherokee but then Curt started seeing issues with fits of certain Cherokee models so they retracted that information and came out with the Trailer Hitch # C13395 instead which has the same hidden design but it fits all of the models so I recommend going with this one over the 13172. The video you were referring to was one that we made prior to this info coming out so I've sent an update for...

  • Recommended Economical Bike Rack for 2014 Jeep Cherokee
    The Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13172 that you referenced will fit well on your 2014 Jeep Cherokee to allow you to carry a bike rack. I recommend the Swagman Trailhead 4 Bike Rack # S63380. This rack features dual arms to provide better stability for your bikes, and these arms can be folded down for better storage when the rack is not in use. Additionally, the anti-sway cradles secure the bikes at a 3rd point to help prevent bike-to-bike contact during travel. In order to...

  • Towing Capacity for Curt Trailer Hitch for 2017 Jeep Cherokee
    For your 2017 Jeep Cherokee the Curt trailer hitch part # C13172 that you referenced is a confirmed fit and is rated for towing a trailer up to 5,000 lbs. Now if your vehicle is rated with a lower towing capacity you have to go by the lowest rated component in the setup as the overall capacity. This is due to the fact your setup is only as strong as your weakest component.

  • What is Towing Capacity of Curt Class III Trailer Hitch # C13172 on 2014 Jeep Cherokee Latitude
    I checked online for the specifications for the 2014 Jeep Cherokee Latitude 4WD and according to my source the 2.4L 4-cylinder Latitude does not carry a tow rating from Jeep. You can check your owners manual or with your local dealership to verify, but unless either of those sources offers a confirmed tow rating for your Cherokee then I would not attempt to tow a trailer with this vehicle. None of the 2014 4-cylinder Cherokees that I researched shows a tow rating. The hitch you referenced,...

  • How Well Does the Curt Hitch part # C13172 Fit a 2015 Jeep Cherokee Latitude
    I spoke to my contact at Curt about the installation of the Curt Hitch part # C13172 on the 2015 Jeep Cherokee Latitude and he said that there is no changes to the install process for the models of the Cherokee with single exhaust, but that on some models of the vehicle with dual exhaust there have been fitment issues. He said the only real way to get the hitch to fit on the vehicles where the exhaust interferes is to take the vehicle to an exhaust shop so that they can modify the exhaust...

  • Comparing Available Trailer Hitch Styles for 2015 Jeep Cherokee Latitude
    The hitch you mentioned would work great for you. There are two hitch types available for your 2015 Cherokee a hitch that would have a crossbar that's completely concealed behind the rear bumper like the Curt Class III trailer hitch, part # C13172 or the style of hitch where the crossbar would be entirely exposed, like the Curt Class III, part # C13171. If having the majority of the hitch exposed isn't a concern for you, by all means go with the # C13171, it would work just great for...

  • Battery Dies After Installing Curt Harness # C56208 On My Vehicle
    There could be a few reasons that is causing your battery to drain after installing The Curt Harness # C56208. I recommend first testing to see if you have a bad converter box. While the fuse is in place, test the 4-way flat connector on the harness without any vehicle lights on using The Hook Probe Circuit Tester # PTW2993. You will need to test each pin. If you're getting a constant power at any of the pins with the vehicle lights off, then the converter box is bad and would need to be...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for a 2015 Jeep Cherokee Latitude

I attached an install video for you to check out as well. The Curt Hitch part # C13172 that you also referenced would work well as it has been confirmed to fit your vehicle.

  • Is Trimming Of Rear Fascia Required To Install Trailer Hitch On 2014 Jeep Cherokee
    Per the attached instructions and also as shown in the video at the 1 minute 43 second mark, the rear fascia needs to be marked to accommodate the installation of the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C13172 on your 2014 Jeep Cherokee. At the 4 minute 14 second mark of the video, the final measurement is taken before trimming the fascia. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2 inch receiver opening.

  • Is Trailer Hitch Secure to Underside of 2018 Jeep Cherokee?
    While it is accurate that there isn't much clearance between Curt hitch # C13172 and the muffler on a 2018 Jeep Cherokee, it is bolted onto the frame of the vehicle. It should be sturdy and not move to hit the muffler if torqued to the correct specs, which you can see in the linked directions. It is, of course, possible that extremely rough terrain could cause some vibration but if installed properly the hitch and muffler should peacefully coexist. I've added a link to a video install of...

  • How Much Can My 2016 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Tow When Curt Hitch # C13172 Is Installed
    Even though the Curt Hitch # C13172 is rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds since your vehicle is rated for 4,500 pounds that is the max you can tow. You're only as strong as your weakest component. The Curt trailer hitch has a bolt on installation and has a gloss black powder coat finish that will offer you superior rust resistance. I like this hitch because it is manufactured in The USA. To tow a trailer you will also need a trailer wiring harness. If your vehicle already has the factory...

  • Curt Trailer Hitch With Hidden Crosstube for a 2019 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Plus
    We have a similar trailer hitch that fits your 2019 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Plus, but the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13172 is not the correct fit. For your 2019 model the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13395 is the correct fit and features the same hidden crosstube look that you are looking for (see attached).

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for Cherokee 2015 Latitude 2x4
    The Curt Class III Hitch, part # C13172 is indeed a fit for your 2015 Cherokee Latitude. If you don't already have a bike rack, you can't go wrong with the Thule Hitching Post Pro, part # TH934XTR, which is a popular bike rack for our customers who own the 2014 or 2015 Cherokee. If you'll be transporting women's bikes or bikes with sharply-angled top tubes, you might also consider a frame adapter bar like part # 64005.

  • Comparison of Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Receivers for 2015 Jeep Cherokee Limited
    The main difference between Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Receivers # C13172 and # C13171 is the appearance. The # C13172 hides the cross tube of the hitch so all the is exposed under your 2015 Jeep Cherokee Limited is the receiver opening. On the # C13171 you will be able to see the majority of the hitch. This is also the reason for the fascia trimming on the # C13172. The receiver opening us under the fascia while the cross tube is hidden away behind it. So there needs to be an opening...
