Hopkins vs. Curt Flat Tow Wiring Harness For 2024 Jeep Wrangler
Updated 12/22/2025 | Published 10/24/2024
Question:
I am preparing to outfit my 2024 JLR for flat towing, and would like to know how the Curt C96JR wiring kit compares to the Hopkins MH39VR. They look the same on paper, so am seeking expert opinion. There is a price difference, for some reason. I used a Hopkins kit from eTrailer on my previous 2010 Jeep JK and was satisfied. I don’t want to cut any wires.

Hi J,
Honestly the Curt Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # C96JR and Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # HM39VR for your 2024 Jeep Wrangler are the same thing.
They are both plug-in so you don't have to cut any wires, and the only difference really is the manufacturer (who charge different prices and thus the price difference). Since you were satisfied with Hopkins previously, and they are known to be reliable, I'd go with the # HM39VR.
