Question:
Hello, I have a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo L and would like to purchase a trailer hitch to pull my Carry-On Utility trailer 725lbs and 2 ball. Ill mostly be using the trailer for small projects and dont anticipate carrying heavy loads. Which hitch and components would you recommend? Thanks, Derek

Expert Reply:
Derek, I recommend installing the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT42GR on your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Laredo. I prefer this one as it hides behind the removable rear fascia cover and includes a mount for your electrical wiring. You will be able to mount the 4-Way # TK39VR with the Bracket # 18144 on the mounting tab. This 4-way will connect to your trailers lights. Then you will be able to connect your trailer with the Ball Mount # e87DR which comes with a 2" ball already attached.
