  • Recommended Hitch for a 2021 Jeep Compass

If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C56369 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.

  • Can Curt Hitch for 2017 Jeep Compass Be Modified to Fit Other Body Style
  • Hi Hunter; you can't really modify the # C13363 to fit the old body style. The frame is different and the hitch has different measurements. Not installing it as intended could also lead to failure with major consequences. If you have the new body style you can use the # C13363. If you have the old body style you need to use the # C13081 instead. If you aren't sure, new body style models will have the letter T as the 11th character in the VIN. What will you be using the hitch for?

  • What Does Adding 4 E-Tracks to a Trailer End Up Adding In Weight
  • Hey Allan, 4 of the # e75VR would be 20 lbs and 6 of the # e66RR would be 24 more lbs so it would add about 45 lbs roughly to the weight of the trailer. Are you trying to keep the weight of the trailer down?

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2015 Jeep Compass
  • The 4-way connector that comes with the Tow Ready Wiring Harness part # 118539 that you referenced is the standard vehicle side 4-way. It sounds like someone wired up your trailer with the wrong 4-way. So your best option would be to replace it with a # 18004.

  • Trailer Hitch Needed For A 2023 Jeep Compass Latitude With Dual Exhaust
  • Hey William, Curt lists that the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13363 is a fit for all models of the 2023 Jeep Compass with no tech notes about the exhaust so it would be a fit. When you say dual exhaust do you mean just the dual tips running to the passenger side or do you have one with the tips running to both the driver and passenger side. I could only find one dual exhaust where the tips separated out and that was a homemade custom job so I'm assuming you're referring to the style...

  • Trailer Hitch for 2017 Jeep Compass Trailhawk
  • Hey Raffy! The correct hitch for your 2017 Jeep Compass Trailhawk depends on whether you have the new body style or the old body style. If you aren't sure, check your VIN number. New body style models will have the letter T as the 11th character in the VIN, old style has the letter D. If you have the new body style I recommend the etrailer # e48AR and for the old body style # e98836. Both options are Class III with a 2" receiver and a bolt-on installation.

  • Availability of Class III Hitch and Wiring For 2021 Jeep Compass Limited
  • Hello Dan; we do have a Class III hitch and wiring for your 2021 Jeep Compass Limited. For the hitch I recommend the etrailer # e48AR. All of the available hitches have a similar design but the etrailer hitch stands apart with the matte black finish. This gives it more of an OEM look and also helps hide dirt and scratches. The correct wiring harness is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56369. This plugs into the connection points behind your tail lights so it won't be anything...

  • What is the Hatch Clearance for the Yakima SkyBox NX Skinny Rooftop Cargo Box?
  • Hello Scott, I was finding the information a bit confusing myself, so I reached out to my friend at Yakima. She was able to verify that the Yakima SkyBox NX Skinny Rooftop Cargo Box - 12 cu ft - Black Carbonite # Y93QD needs 50" to clear the hatch (please refer to the attached image). The 57" measurement is for the older model. What are you planning to use the cargo box for? Big upcoming trip, or maybe making room to bring all the presents home?

  • Do You Have a Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2019 Jeep Compass for My 45 Pounds e-bike?
  • Hello Tom, How much does you e-bike weight when you take the battery off? The reason why I ask is because all of our trunk style racks for the 2019 Jeep Compass have a weight capacity of 35 pounds per bike, and I cannot recommend hauling anything heavier. If your bike is 35 pounds with the battery off, then the Saris Guardian 2 Bike Rack - Fixed Arms - Trunk Mount # SAR93FR that you were looking at will work great! If your bike is a true 45 pounds then I have a different option for you,...

This has a 2" receiver, a 4,000 lb towing capacity and 600 lb tongue weight capacity. The only thing to keep in mind is installing a trailer hitch may interfere with the functionality of your hands free liftgate sensor. If you intend to tow a trailer, you will also need the Curt T-Connector # C56369. The video I linked below will show you an example...

  • Does the Draw-Tite Hitch for My 2017 Come With the Bracket for the 4 Flat Wiring?
  • Hello H.L., 90% of the time the Draw-Tite hitches do come with the mounting bracket attached for the 4 flat wiring, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75712 does not for some reason. You will want to get a No-Drill Mount Bracket, Long # 18136, and a # C42CR to hold the 4 flat wiring in place and prevent it from dragging on the road. The # 75712 is going to be a great fit for your 2017 Jeep Compass just as long as you have the old body style....
