Will a Curt hitch 13251 work on a 2008 DIESEL Grand Cherokee? I so which wire harness should I get?

Expert Reply:

Yes, the Curt Hitch part # 13251 that you referenced has been confirmed to fit all models of the 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee except for the SRT-8 model so it would work well on your diesel model.

I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

For trailer wiring you would want the part # 118425.

If you wanted to do 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 include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
