Question:

I need help ing tow hitch and additional parts for my 2006 Jeep Commander. I do not think it has a pre installed tow package. The back is flat. So I may need that, wiring, a ball?etc. Will be hauling a little travel trailer. Please advise and let me know how fast I can receive the parts. I need to go pick up the trailer asap. Thank you.

We have everything you'll need to tow a trailer with your 2006 Jeep Commander. First thing you'll need is a trailer hitch which for that the Curt # 13414 is the way to go. it has plenty of towing capacity, the highest quality powder coat finish to resist rust, and installs very easily. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

For trailer wiring then you'd want the part # 118408 which installs easily and is also very reliable. I attached an install video for this 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.
