Hi, just bought a 2013 Grand Cherokee. Wondering if I should go OEM or underneath bumper aftermarket trailor hitch.

For your 2013 Grand Cherokee the Curt Hitch part # C13182 would be what I would recommend. An OEM hitch is going to cost quite a bit more and this Curt hitch would do an excellent job so why pay more?

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

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.

For trailer wiring you would need the part # C56009.
