Expert Answers about Jeep Compass

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation For 2020 Jeep Compass For Towing Trailer
• I recommend the Class III Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76144 for the 2020 Jeep Compass because it has a 4,500 lb towing capacity. You will need to check the owner's manual to make sure you can tow that much weight because the towing capacity is based off of if the Jeep has a towing package or not according to my research. The installation does not require drilling but the access holes in the frame for the hardware may need to be filed out. I have attached an installation...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and 4-Way Vehicle Wiring Harness For a 2024 Jeep Compass
• I recommend using our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e48AR on your 2024 Jeep Compass. Our receiver has a matte black finish and a hidden cross tube which provides for a clean factory appearance. It also comes with a 2" opening which allows for a larger selection of hitch mounted accessories and ball mounts. You will want to install the Curt Wiring Harness # C59496 when you install the receiver. This will provide you with a 4-way flat connector which is the most common connector found...

• Fit and Compatibility of 2 Inch Trailer Hitch on a 2014 Jeep Compass Equipped w/1-1/4 Factory Hitch
• I have good news for you! You are correct the 2 inch trailer hitch will use the factory already drilled bolt holes on your 2014 Jeep Compass to install the hitch. I highly recommend the Draw-Tite # 75712, because you will not need to use a support strap # 18050 with any non-trailer load like you will with the Curt hitch. It's important to note that you will need to remove the 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch before you can install the 2 inch hitch. Also the manufacture does require fascia trimming...

• Thule Roof Racks that Fits 2018 Jeep Compass
• I found the video you referenced and in it our installer is installing the Thule Wingbar Evo part numbers # TH711220, # TH460R, and # THKIT3164 which is not a flush bar setup. Flush bar racks install where the bar does not extend past the feet and in that video the bars go past the feet. If you did want a flush bar rack for your 2018 Compass the parts you'd need instead are # TH96FE, # TH89SC, and # TH66GC. At this time we don't have any pictures or videos of this rack installed on a...

• Fit of Thule Passage Trunk Mounted 3 Bike Rack # TH911XT on 2007 Jeep Compass Limited
• The Thule Passage, part # TH911XT is a bargain-priced rack that is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. The rack includes what I believe are crucial components for a bike rack, like durable rubber straps to secure the bikes to the rack and anti-sway cradles that will prevent the bikes from swinging back and forth and hitting each other or the vehicle. To carry womens bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # 64005 is recommended....

• How to Determine Clearance Needed for Swagman Hitch Bike Rack S64152-2
• It sounds like you have been using the 2-inch Swagman Original bike rack # S64152-2 with a 1-1/4-inch to 2-inch hitch extender/adapter like # HTAD or # HT5R. Both of these adapters allow 2-inch accessories to be used in a 1-1/4-inch hitch. While these items do both adapt size and provide extension (and the # HT5R also adds rise for more ground clearance) all such adapters will add potential for more motion of the loaded accessory, just as you noted. The other downside to adapters like...

• What Landing Pads Fit My 2016 Jeep Compass with Flush Factory Rails?
• I have a Landing Pad solution for you. Unfortunately, when the Landing Pad 20 # Y00246 says "Not confirmed to fit" your 2016 Jeep compass, that means that we have tested it with all the available configurations and it will not fit. However, the correct landing pads you need for a Yakima crossbar system on your 2016 Jeep Compass with flush factory rails is the Landing Pad 19 for Yakima Skyline Towers # Y00245. Although these landing pads will fit your vehicle, the towers that go along...

• Recommended Roof Rack For 2014 Jeep Compass With Factory Flush Side Rails
• Per the Yakima fitguide, the Yakima RailGrab system is not designed as a fit for the raised flush rails on your 2014 Jeep Compass, but we do offer other solutions. I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack For your Compass. This system attaches to the pre-installed mounting points on your flush mount rails. To order this system you will need part # TH711200, part # TH460R, and part # THKIT3097. The bars are also available in black, part # TH711220. Per Yakima, the RailGrab system is...

• Will Draw-Tite 76144 Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit 2022 Jeep Compass Latitude LUX
• Yes, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76144 will fit your 2022 Jeep Compass Latitude LUX. However, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e48AR instead. The Draw-Tite has a visible cross tube so you're going to see the entire hitch hanging down below the rear bumper. The etrailer hitch has a concealed cross tube which means only the receiver will be visible. This gives it a nice clean look while also improving clearance. The etrailer hitch also has a matte black...

• Transmission Cooler Needed for a 2007 Jeep Compass
• Although there are quite a few vehicle accessories that are specific to the year/make/model of a given vehicle, transmission coolers are the exception. When looking for a transmission cooler you want to find the biggest one that will fit in your engine compartment to get the most out of it. The best place to install a transmission cooler is in between the grille and AC condenser core on your 2007 Jeep Compass as this will allow the most airflow to cool the fluid more efficiently. I have...

• 2019 Jeep Compass Roof Clearance for Rhino Racks Vortex Crossbars
• The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 are a great selection when looking for a low profile setup. Using the RCL Legs # RRRCL4 you will have a height of 1-1/2" above your mounting point plus the slight additional height of the formed metal bracket, # RRRCP64-BK. Please consider the contour of your roof will cause variance in clearance but overall this is not only a very good selection in product but also provides that low profile setup you are looking for.

• Can The 2016 Jeep Compass Latitude FWD Be Flat Towed
• Yes, the 2016 Jeep Compass can be flat towed as long as it has a manual transmission. If it has an automatic transmission then you would need to dolly tow it with the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly w/ Disc Brakes # DM9713093. For a manual transmission you would need the following components: Baseplate: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1132. Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # e47ZR. This tow bar comes with safety cables included so that you don't have to purchase...

• How to Tell if Longer Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars Will Fit 2012 Jeep Compass
• It's possible that the 53" Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars # TH712400 could fit on your 2012 Jeep Compass instead of the normal 47" Crossbars # TH712200 that Thule has verified to fit, but you'll need to measure the mounting locations on the flush rails on your Compass to determine if this will work or not. Since these bars have limited space for the feet to mount on either side it may not be possible. When everything is put together I was finding about 36-1/2" between the mounting locations...

• Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for a 2010 Jeep Compass
• The Hollywood Racks Expedition trunk mount bike carrier # HRF6-2 is not a fit for the 2010 Jeep Compass. But we do have several trunk mount bike carriers that will fit. I have included a link to them for you. I recommend either the Over-the-Top rack for 2 bikes, # HRF2, or the 3-bike version, # HRF2-3. This rack has an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over any rear spoiler so no weight is put on it (since the spoiler is not meant to support weight). I have included...

• What Does Lowest-Rated Component Mean for 2016 Jeep Compass
• Put simply, the lowest-rated component for towing with your 2016 Jeep Compass means whatever is rated lower - the Jeep itself or the equipment you are towing with. For example, the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 75712 is rated for 3,500 lbs towing and 525 lbs tongue weight. Since you mentioned your Jeep is rated for 2,000 lbs towing and 300 lbs tongue weight, those are your limits for towing capacity. Tongue weight is the downward force put on the hitch when it has a trailer connected, and...
