Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Jeep Cherokee for Motorcycle Trailer
Updated 09/08/2025 | Published 06/03/2025
Question:
I am trying to get a hitch to fit my 2017 jeep cherokee. I would need a hitch that is capable of towing a small trailer with a motorcycle on it. I am not sure which one I need to get that doesnt involve sawing my bumper. There are a lot of options, but I am not really sure which one I need. Thank you

Hey Joshua, the Curt hitch part # C13171 that you referenced would be the best hitch for your 2017 Jeep Cherokee if you were wanting to minimize any bumper trimming. It also has the best towing capacities too so it's overall the best option.
