Looking for a hitch and wiring kit for a 2015 Jeep Patriot front wheel drive

Expert Reply:
For your 2015 Jeep Patriot, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch # 75712. This hitch is custom-fit for your Jeep, meaning there will be no drilling required during installation. This hitch will give you a 2 inch receiver opening with a 525 pound tongue weight capacity and a 3,500 pound towing capacity. I recommend the Draw-Tite hitch because it does not require you to use stabilizing straps for non-trailer loads like the Curt alternative does. I have attached an installation video on the 2016 Jeep Patriot for you to look at.
Then for wiring, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56333 to install a 4-way connector to power your trailer's signal lights. The T-connector will simply plug directly into existing wiring, located behind the side tail lights on your vehicle. I have included another installation video on your Jeep for you to check out.
For a ball mount, I recommend looking at the etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit # 989900. This kit includes two ball mounts with different rise and drops, as well as the two most common sized hitch balls. I have also attached an article that explains how to determine the best ball mount for your setup, along with a link that will take you to our available selection for you to look through.
