Expert Answers about Jeep Grand Cherokee

• Difference Between Blue Ox BX7380 Alpha 2 and Original Alpha Tow Bar
• The Alpha 2 is indeed an updated version. The difference between the original Blue Ox Alpha and the # BX7380 Alpha 2 tow bar is that the Alpha 2 has non-binding latches, while the original Alpha did not. Non-binding latches, are just that, they easily release even if the vehicle isn't on perfectly flat ground. So, if you find yourselves sometimes camping at sites that are a little on the primitive side, having the non-binding latches would certainly be a plus. I've linked to a demonstration...

• Comparing Curt 13507 and 13525 For 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee WL Altitude
• The Curt 13507 was phased out and replaced with the Curt # C96NR (13525). Curt updated the design which also allows it to fit the Grand Cherokee L. They also updated the mounting hardware. For your 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee WL Altitude you want to use the latest hitch so that means the # C96NR. If you need the hitch for towing you will also want the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C27BR. This will provide you with a 4-way to power your trailer's signal lights. If you also need...

• Comparing Curt 13065 and 13182 Trailer Hitches for 2013 and 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel Models
• The big difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13182 (confirmed to fit your 2013 and 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel models) and # C13065 is that the crossbar for the latter runs in a straight line whereas it has more of a rounded shape for the 13182. When I spoke with my contact at Curt he said that the exhaust is in the way for the 13065 and that he believes the gas tank was in the way as well. Since the 13182 has a different design it will fit your vehicles. So even...

• Go Power Portable And DuraLite Solar Panel Comparison
• The reason the Go Power Portable Solar Panel with Digital Solar Controller - 200 Watt Solar Panel # 34282610 has a 25 year limited warranty through the manufacturer because the tempered glass and aluminum construction is heavier duty and meant to last for a long time. That is also why it weighs so much. The Go Power DuraLite Portable Solar Panel with Digital Solar Controller - 100 Watt Item # GP66FR is the made with less heavy duty materials to make it more portable and therefore isn't...

• Comparing Curt and Tow Ready Trailer Wiring for a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee without Tow Package
• Both the Tow Ready harness # 118425 and the Curt harness # C56009 install and function the same way on your 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee without the factory tow package. They are just from 2 different manufacturers. I have linked videos showing example installations of both for you. I usually recommend Tow Ready over Curt because on harnesses with converter boxes the Tow Ready ones seem to be the more reliable option. But in this case there are no converter boxes so you could go either way...

• Comparing Demco Tabless and etrailer Invisible Base Plates for a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee
• There are no differences between the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit part # DM9519291 and etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit part # e98950, this is just who we use for our braded base plates. I recommend whichever is more cost effective at the time. They are both directly compatible with most Blue Ox, etrailer, Demco, and Curt tow bars. In order to complete your setup you'll still need a few other items which I have attached for you below. Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring...

• What Is Difference Between Roadmaster Tow Defender # RM-4700 And # RM-4750
• The difference between the # RM-4700 and the # RM-4750 is being able to use them with your base plates. If you have the crossbar on your base plates you will need part # RM-4700. The RM-4750 is not compatible with other style base plates. Since you said you have the Roadmaster Guardian, part # RM-4000, the same issue applies. It is compatible with the base plates that have a crossbar and will not work if you have other style base plates.

• Difference Between Mini Mod Trailer Rim and Non-Mini Mod Trailer Wheel
• The difference between the two rim designs you mentioned is just a visual difference. The mini mod wheels are a white rim that have small circles that run around the mounting flange of the rim whereas the other white style you referenced has triangles cut out instead. I attached a picture that shows the difference between the two styles with the mini mod being labeled. The rims in the picture are # AM31985 and # AM31991.

• Comparing Trailer Brake Controllers For 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee W/ ETBC7 Installed
• I would be happy to go over the recommended trailer brake controller for your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the # ETBC7 installed.

This style controller is popular in the...

• Comparing MX and XL Style Roadmaster Base Plate Kits for 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee
• Since you have the Falcon 2 Towbar, you can safely use the MX base plate kit, part # 1419-8. The MX style base plates take advantage of the strong frames used for trucks and SUVs. Please note, some accessories are not compatible with the MX style plates like the Guardian Rock Shied or Tow Defender. The XL base plates, part # 1419-7, will offer the most compatibility with tow bars and tow bar accessories. We typically recommend that customers use the XL style because it can be used with...

• What is the Difference Between the HR1450Z-85 and HR1450Z-85-RB
• The # HR1400Z-85 is the same as the # HR1450Z-85 except it has a 2 bike add-on. They both can be set up with 2 bikes and a carrier, 2 bikes alone, or a carrier alone. With these 3 setups, they are identical. The # HR1400Z-85 can be set-up to carry 4 bikes alone. That is the difference between them.

• Comparing the Blue Ox Patriot and Roadmaster Even Brake Systems for a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee
• Even though the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR and the Roadmaster Even Brake # RM-9400 are very similar systems I recommend using the Patriot II. It is easier to set up, uses less power so it will take much longer for this system to drain your battery, and it doesn't require the use of additional parts so that it is compatible with your vehicle. Attached are some videos that you can reference for the installation. For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety...

• What is Difference Between Tow Pro Elite, Liberty, and Classic
• The Redarc Tow Pro Classic is a time delayed brake controller which means it applies a predetermined amount of braking power over time every time you apply the vehicle brakes. The Tow Pro Elite # RED44FR has the ability to be time delayed as well as proportional which is definitely the preferred style of brake controller. Proportional means it senses how hard you are applying the vehicle brakes and applies a relative amount to the trailer brakes. Time delayed really is only is helpful in...

• Comparing Yakima OffGrid and Thule Canyon XT Baskets for 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee
• Both the Yakima OffGrid # Y07138 and the Thule Canyon XT # TH859XT roof baskets are compatible with round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars and both feature comparable weight capacities: 165 lbs for the OffGrid and 150 lbs for the Atlas. That being said, the quick installation and huge versatility make the Yakima OffGrid the clear choice. When it comes to space, the Yakima OffGrid Roof Cargo Basket is 44 inches long by 40 inches wide but there is an 18 inch extension...

• Comparing Blue Ox Patriot and Roadmaster Even Brake Towed Car Braking Systems
• The main difference between the Blue Ox Patriot and the Roadmaster Even Brake systems is that the Roadmaster # RM-9400 uses compressed air to actuate the brakes in the towed vehicle, while the Blue Ox Patriot II uses an electrically-operated actuator to engage the brake pedal. As a result the Blue Ox system uses less power (since it does not incorporate an air compressor) and is a bit simpler to install. The Even Brake can only be used with vehicles that have power brakes. Roadmaster suggests...

First the Elite has a user controlled mode for complete control of the brakes mainly seen if off road use and as you said the Elite can handle up to 3 axles where the Liberty can handle 2.

• What is the Difference Between CURT Class III Trailer Hitches for a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
• The main difference between CURT Trailer Hitch C13075 and # C13065, is the cross tube. On C13075, it has a round tube and the receiver extends straight out from the side of the tube. This requires a bend in the cross tube which makes more of the hitch visible beneath the vehicle. Hitch # C13065 has a square cross tube. The receiver is welded to the bottom of the square tube and this makes only the receiver visible beneath the rear of the vehicle. The rest of the hitch is hidden behind...

• Best Hidden Trailer Hitch Between Draw-Tite and Curt for 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee With Gas Engine
• So of the hitches you mentioned, the Draw-Tite # 75713 does not fit a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a gas engine, and the Curt # C13182 does not have a concealed crosstube so it would not be a good option for aesthetics as it would be totally visible (I did confirm this has a 6,000 lb towing/600 lb tongue weight). I do have two much better options for your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a gas engine I recommend checking out: - Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75699 - Curt Trailer Hitch...

• Which Brake Controller is Better, the Prodigy P2 or P3
• The P2 part # 90885 and the P3 part # 90195 are both really great brake controllers that share many features and functions but I recommend the P3 over the P2 because it is overall easier to use, understand, and setup which will give you an overall better and less stressful towing experience. The P3 has a display on it that uses full words which makes it much easier to know what's going on with it over other controllers like the P2 that will require you to decipher codes. So the P2 was...
