Yes, Curt trailer hitch # 13051 mounts below the rear bumper fascia on your 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I have linked a video showing an example installation of this hitch for you.

If you plan on doing some towing I recommend 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.

And if your Jeep did not come with the factory tow package I recommend wiring harness # C55369. If it did come with the factory tow package use # 118381.
