Recommended Hitch and Towing Equipment for Towing Small Enclosed Trailer with 2017 Jeep Cherokee

Expert Reply:

The Curt Class III part # C13171 would work great for towing a small enclosed trailer, as long as its fully loaded weight is less than the 2000 lb towing capacity of your Cherokee. The hitch itself has a higher capacity, but you'll be limited by the capacity of the lowest rated component, which is the vehicle in this case. No fascia trimming is required and as you can see in the linked video, installation is pretty simple and straightforward.

You'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # 118605, a ballmount like # 40346 used in the rise position and a # 19260 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer ball. A hitch pin like # PC3 will also be needed.
