Hello H.L.,
90% of the time the Draw-Tite hitches do come with the mounting bracket attached for the 4 flat wiring, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75712 does not for some reason.
You will want to get a No-Drill Mount Bracket, Long # 18136, and a # C42CR to hold the 4 flat wiring in place and prevent it from dragging on the road.
The # 75712 is going to be a great fit for your 2017 Jeep Compass just as long as you have the old body style.
For wiring I would go with the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118539
If you do not have a ball mount already, check out our etrailer Ball Mount w/ Pre-Torqued 2" Ball - 2" Hitch - 2" Drop - 7,500 lbs # e67DR. I really like how our ball comes in a black nickel plating, gives it a nice sleek look.
What are you going to be towing with your Jeep Compass?

Hey H.L., did you get the No-Drill Mount Bracket and the Curt Mounting Bracket to secure your 4 flat wiring on the hitch? I'm curious to know if it worked well for your Jeep Compass, as I'm always looking to help others with similar setups.
