Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 1995 Jeep Cherokee

Published 10/12/2016

Question:

I have a 95 Jeep Cherokee 2 door 4x4. I would think the Class II hitch would be sufficient but want to make sure. I would be pulling a small boat or a 5x10 utility trailer with a lawn mower mostly. thanks

Since the Class III Curt hitch part # 13084 for your 1995 Jeep Cherokee is actually less expensive than the Class II hitch for your vehicle I would recommend you go with it. Especially since you'll get better capacities and have more hitch accessories made for it.

Since 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 then want the # 119178KIT.
