Question:
looking to have hitch installation completed on my 2021 cherokee latitude. will use bike rack regularly and consider kayak or luggage accessory. hauling a small trailer would be great but if not rated as safe then good to go with hitch mounting accessories only. have no idea what all i need as far as type of bar, hitch, lighting wiring, etc. or who might install it correctly. can you offer recommendations please or point me in the right direction ? much appreciated!

Hey Rebecca, the etrailer hitch part # e73ZR that you referenced would be a great hitch for your 2021 Jeep Cherokee Latitude and is rated for towing so it would work great for a small trailer like you mentioned. I attached a link to help find an installer in your area as well.
Then for trailer wiring the Curt # C56406 is a great option that is custom fit for your vehicle.
