Expert Reply:

The obsolete trailer hitch # 37042 did fit many vehicles, but it does not fit your 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Instead you would want the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 75139 as this has been confirmed to fit your vehicle and is a 2 inch hitch. Check out the install video I attached.

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 and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. 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 the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

For trailer wiring you would want part # C55369. I attached a video and installation instructions for you. .
