• Will the Draw-Tite Ball Mount # 80248 Clear the Bumper on a 2016 Jeep Renegade.
  I contacted my tech contact at Curt and the distance from the hitch pin hole on the Curt # C13269 hitch to the bumper is 4-1/2". The center of the hitch pin hole to the edge of the gusset on the Draw-Tite Ball Mount # 80248 is 5-3/4" which means this ball mount sticks out enough to where it will not hit the bumper on your 2016 Jeep Renegade in the rise or drop position. If you are looking for a pin and clip for this ball mount, I recommend the Draw-Tite Pin and Clip # PC3. If you need...

• Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Jeep Renegade
  The best hitch for a 2023 Jeep Renegade is the etrailer Hitch item # e37AR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Jeep with included hardware.

• Recommendation and Install Instructions for Trailer Hitch on 2018 Jeep Renegade
  EcoHitch won't allow us to link the installation instructions in our product descriptions, but I can certainly send you a .pdf copy in a separate email. The installation of the EcoHitch # EH83VR isn't too involved, but will require that a 6-3/4 by 2-1/2 inch portion of the rear fascia be notched to fit around the receiver tube. The plus side is that the only portion of the hitch that will be visible from the rear is the receiver opening and the safety chain loops. The majority of the...

• Should I Use a Jack and Jack Stands When Installing a Hitch By Myself
  You're not "required" to use a jack and jack stands when installing the Curt # C13269 but when performing the installation without an additional set of hands it's never a bad idea to have something that you can use to hold the hitch roughly in place. It's also possible that your hitch might have been slightly bent during shipping so you may want to try to locate if there are any spots you can bend back into shape; this isn't an uncommon occurrence during the shipping process. We also...

• Visibility of Installed Hitch Receiver Options for 2016 Jeep Renegade
  We offer a number of hitches for your 2016 Jeep Renegade, both 1-1/4-inch Class II and 2-inch Class III types, not all of which we've had an opportunity to install for a local Renegade owner. The 2-inch Draw-Tite hitch # 76021 is probably the one you are referring to; its installed position is shown in the linked photo. Generally speaking we always steer customers to a 2-inch hitch when one is available since they offer higher capacity and broader compatibility with accessory products. In...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation with Minimum Frame Adjustment for a 2017 Jeep Renegade
  The best option that we have for what you are looking for is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13269. It is a custom fit for your 2017 Jeep Renegade, but it may require you to enlarge one of the holes to allow room for the spacer. This is the best option for you. I have attached a video of this hitch being installed on a 2016 Jeep Renegade that you can use as a reference. This trailer hitch option does require the use of a Stabilizer Strap # 18050 for any non-trailer loads per the Curt...

• Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2015 Jeep Renegade
  There should be 2 holes per side on the back frame rails on your 2015 Jeep Renegade. They will be covered with rubber covers (rear 2 holes) and plastic plugs (forward 2 holes). For the forward 2 holes you will need a T25 bit to remove them from the frame. I have linked the instructions for Curt trailer hitch # C13269 for you. If you plan on doing 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...

• Suspension Enhancement for 2015 Jeep Renegade to Prevent Sag When Towing
  I wish we had a hitch solution but we don't have any hitches that fit your 2015 Jeep Renegade that are rated for WD systems. Best option would be suspension enhancement for the rear axle with the Coil SumoSprings part # CSS-1225R which will give the rear suspension more support to get rid of the sag. Not all vehicles have a strong enough frame for a weight distribution system which is why none of the hitches for your vehicle are rated for it.

An install video is linked for you too. The 2-inch hitch has a higher weight rating and will also be more broadly compatible with available hitch-mount accessories like bike and cargo carriers.

• Correcting Hitch Rattle on 2015 Jeep Renegade
  Hitch rattle can be a common issue and there are some easy ways to relieve the noise. The easiest solution is to bend the exhaust hanger up so that the muffler sets further above the hitch. I have attached a photo showing the exhaust hanger for you. If bending the hanger does not provide a solution, another option is to try and replace the rubber exhaust isolater with a shorter isolater. The shorter isolater will help raise the tailpipe up futher away from the hitch. I have attached...

• What Hitch do You Recommend for My 2017 Jeep Renegade?
  I have a great hitch solution for you. However, the etrailer Hitch - 2" # e98841 does not fit your 2017 Jeep Renegade. With that being said, a great hitch that does fit is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13269. This hitch provides you with a higher-quality gloss outer coat over the base powder coat that provides better protection against rust and corrosion than all of our other hitch brands. It also provides you with the most weight capacity we offer...

• How Much Ground Clearance Will There Be with Mobility Scooter Carrier On 2017 Jeep Renegade
  The amount of clearance you have between the ground and mobility scooter carrier will be largely dependent on the carrier you choose, I recommend one with a built-in rise if avavailbe. The height of the trailer hitch isn't adjustable and will be the same pretty much no matter which option you go with but I do recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13269. There are many variables here but the distance from the ground to the top inside edge of the receiver is around 10.25". It's...

• Comparison of Class III Trailer Hitches for 2015 Jeep Renegade
  Both hitches you mentioned, the Draw-Tite # 76021 and the Curt # C13269 have slightly different weight capacities. The Draw-Tite model has a 4500 lb towing/675 lb tongue weight capacity. The Curt has a lower capacity, at 3500 lb towing/525 lb tongue weight. Keep in mind that the towing capacity of the hitch could be limited by the capacity of the vehicle, if it's less than that of the hitch. The Draw-Tite model will require drilling a 1 inch access hole, unless the vehicle has the factory...

• Does Bumper Fascia Need Trimming To Install Curt C13269 Class III Hitch On 2015 Jeep Renegade
  As you can see in the provided photo, the hitch sits far enough below the bumper that no trimming is required. If you'll be using the hitch for towing a trailer, you'll need a few other parts. For a trailer wiring harness, use part # 118651. For a ballmount, use # D-28 and # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball or # 63845 for a 2 inch. I've linked to the install video showing the Curt # C13269 hitch being installed on a 2015 Renegade, and also to a video for the trailer wiring harness....

• Trailer Hitches and Wiring for a 2015 Jeep Renegade
  Curt trailer hitch # C13269 is for the 2015 Jeep Renegade and not for any trim level of the Wrangler. We also have Draw-Tite hitch # 76021 that is also designed for the 2015 Jeep Renegade.

It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If the ball mount...

• 2016 Jeep Renegade Trailer Hitch Recommendations
  I can definitely help you out with a trailer hitch for your 2016 Jeep Renegade but when it comes to adding tow hooks I would have to defer to a dealership since we don't carry or install those. From what I can see it does look like the rear tow hook sticks through the bumper and some OEM hitches will fit through the bumper as well which is likely why you are getting that response. For a trailer hitch we have 2 options and it all just depends on what you're looking to get out of a trailer...

• Installation Instruction Difference for a 2015 Jeep Renegade and 2016 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk
  The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13269 which fits both the 2015 and 2016 models of the Jeep Renegade is a custom fit trailer hitch receiver which means that it is manufactured to fit pre-existing holes in your Jeep's frame. The reason that the Trailhawk model doesn't need to have the holes enlarged is because the M14 bolts are already installed into weld nuts. You will want to make sure to follow the instructions for your model as that is how the manufacturer tested and approved it....

• Can a 2016 Jeep Renegade Sport Tow a Trailer
  The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13269 is a fit for a 2016 Jeep Renegade Sport and is capable of pulling a trailer up to 3,500 lbs.

• Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2015 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk
  It sounds like your 2015 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk has the 14mm bolts in place instead of the rubber plugs. These are usually found on models that have the factory tow hooks. You will remove the bolts to install the hitch. Since the bolts are on so tight you may need to use a breaker bar/cheater bar to get enough leverage to loosen them. I checked with the hitch manufactures and all of the available hitches are designed to fit all models, including the Trailhawk, of the 2015 Jeep Renegade...
