Expert Answers about Jeep Grand Cherokee


  • Recommended Baseplate For A 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • Vehicles with active air shutter will typically have to either have to have them removed or trimmed in order to fit a baseplate and wouldn't be something that would based on the trim level. This happens quite a bit with the Chevy Equinox and isn't a major deal as long as the installer isn't being careless and cutting off more than he needs to. To determine which models are going to have active air shutters you would need to reach out to Jeep to confirm. For a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for a 5,500 lbs Winnebago Micro Mini FLX Trailer
  • Congrats on the new travel trailer! Weight distribution systems are selected based on the tongue weight of your trailer which is typically 10% - 15% of its total weight depending on how you load it. Your Winnebago Micro Mini has a tongue weight range of 550 lbs - 825 lbs. I recommended the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control item # FA92-00-0800. This system has a range of 400 lbs - 800 lbs. This system has built in sway control that will keep your trailer in line when...

  • Will the Curt T-Connector Harness Work On a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Without Tow Package
  • The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C55384 is a fit for a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee. That said, although the plug needed to use this will be present on all models, only those equipped with the factory tow package will have the circuits active. Therefore, if you wanted to use this you'd need to take the vehicle to the dealer for programming. This can be expensive so a much better option would be to use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118727 which is for models without...

  • Do I Need An Adaptor To Use A BlueOx Tow Bar With The Etrailer Base Plate 98950
  • If you have the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # e98950 and want to couple it with a Blue Ox Tow Bar you do NOT need an adapter. It is already set up to couple with a Blue Ox tow bar. Looking at The Adapter for Demco Kwik-Tow and Blue Ox Adventurer Tow Bars to etrailer Invisible Base Plates Item # e98987 you will notice they have the same mating surface as the Etrailer Invisible Base Plates, so the base plates can be used with either demco or blue ox tow bars without...

  • Will the Rhino-Rack Kayak Carrier # S512 Fit on 53 Thule WingBar Evo
  • The Rhino-Rack Kayak Carrier # S512 with the Arms # RRS512X you are looking at will definitely fit on the 53" Thule WingBar Evo # TH711420 you are using on your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee! Please note that this carrier has a weight capacity of 110 lbs. Attached is a review video for the single Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier # S512 that you can check out. In the video this carrier is installed on Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero crossbars which have almost identical dimensions to the Thule bars.

  • Tow Bar to Attach to Blue Ox Base Plates on 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • I can definitely understand not wanting to get a part if you don't need it, but I checked with Roadmaster and Blue Ox, and there is not an adapter for a Roadmaster Stowmaster tow bar to connect to your 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee's Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1123. So you will need to get a new tow bar that is compatible with these base plates, and the most cost-effective is the Blue Ox Acclaim Tow Bar # BX4330. This is a coupler mount though, so if you need a tow bar that fits in your motorhome's...

  • Is A Battery Charge Line Kit Required When Flat Towing A 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • Yes, I highly recommend using a battery charge line kit while flat towing your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Depending on the braking system you use you'll be pulling power directly from the vehicle battery and wouldn't want to run the risk of it depleting the battery while you're towing and then have the breaking system turn off or get to your destination and unhook your Jeep only to find the battery is too low to start. If you aren't using a Brake Buddy System like the # HM39524 or # HM39530...

  • Can The Fender Mounted Jerry Can Holder Be Used On A 2" Receiver?
  • I reached out to my contact at Morryde to verify, and yes the Fender Mounted Jerry Can Holder for Jeep Wrangler TJ and YJ - 5 Gallon - Tall Tray # MR69MR can be used on a standard 2" receiver like you have on your Jeep. Keep in mind, there is only 6" clearance from the hitch pin hole to the nearest part of the carrier, so make sure you have no more than 6" from your hitch pin hole to your rear bumper or rear spare tire if you have one.

  • Will the Roadmaster Base Plate Kit Part # 1427-3 Fit My 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • For your 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee the base plate kit you will need is either the Roadmaster XL base plate kit, part number 1427-1, or Roadmaster MX Base plate kit, part number 1427-3. Either kit will work on your vehicle, selection will depend on the tow bar you own or select and the features of each style of base plate kit. The XL base plate kit will require a cross bar on the tow bar and you will need the optional quick disconnects to easily remove the visible portions of the bracket...

  • The Konig Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - K-Summit XXL - Size K77 # TH02230K77 is a fit for your 265-50R20 tires.

  • Roof Rack for 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee With Flush Mounted Rails to use With Thule Hullavator
  • The most cost-effective roof rack for your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee that will allow you to use the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier # TH898 will depend on if your Grand Cherokee's flush-mounted rails are entirely black or if they have a metal strip in the middle, which will be a noticeable chrome so you just need to take a look. If you have the black and chrome flush-mounted rails on your '14 Grand Cherokee the most cost-effective roof rack that will work with the Hullavator consists...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited X
  • Yes the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited X and High Altitude models do have the same cutout for the rear bumper like the SRT model but none of the aftermarket trailer hitches actually utilize it like the OEM trailer hitch does for the High Altitude like you mentioned. Just like Jameson said, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75699 does fit the Limited X and since it is the only option that features the hidden crosstube I recommend using it for a clean look. Then for wiring...

  • How to Install a Brake Controller in a 2014 Jeep Cherokee w/ out the Tow Package
  • Since your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee did not come with the towing package, you do not have the available port to plug in a brake controller using a plug n play adapter. You will need to hardwire your brake controller. For your Jeep, I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller item # RED24FR. The Liberty is a proportional brake controller that activates your trailers brakes when your Jeep decelerates. It also has a unique installation method where the main portion of the brake...

  • Trailer Wiring for 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee With Auto Start/Stop
  • I have not heard anything about being limited to using OEM wiring because of the auto start/stop function on your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited X. We have installed the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118727 on multiple Grand Cherokees and not had any issues. The # 118727 plugs directly inline with your tail lights so there's not cutting or splicing involved, and it your Jeep won't have to be taken to the dealer to get to get the ECU flashed since it will work off the taillight...

  • The rung on the back of the Curt Premium 5 Bike Rack for 2" Hitches - Tilting # C18065 has a 1-1/4" x 1" gap and will easily allow for a cable lock like the BOLT Coiled Cable Lock # BL7018452 to allow you to lock the bikes and the rack to the hitch via the safety chain loops.

  • Will A Tekonsha 118727 Wiring Harness Work With The Start/Stop Feature On A 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee

With that said, we have installed the Tekonsha # 118727 on 5 Grand Cherokees to date and not had a single issue with it. I included the most recent one we did on a 2020 for you to check out as well.
