Expert Answers about Jeep Liberty


  • Parts Needed to Install a Trailer Brake Controller on a 2006 Jeep Liberty
  • On a 2006 Jeep Liberty installing a brake controller requires that it be hardwired to the vehicle. hardwiring is not vehicle specific so you can follow along with any video showing installation using a 4 and 7 way installation kit # ETBC7. I have linked a video for you to view. If your Liberty came with a factory 7-Way, you can still use the video as a guide but you would not need the ETBC7 kit. Instead you would need kit # 5506. You would hardwire the black, white, and red wires of a...

  • Cost-Effective Sway Control Solutions for a Lightweight Utility Trailer
  • If your utility trailer has brakes then the most cost-effective solution for you is the Curt Electronic Sway Control System # C94VV. This installs on your trailer and then you plug this into your vehicle 7-Way (the trailer 7-Way plugs into the Curt) and then this will use the brakes to correct sway. If your utility trailer doesn't have brakes then you need to install the Fastway e2 # FA94-00-0600 which is rated for a loaded trailer tongue weight of 400 lbs - 600 lbs. You'll also need...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Rated for 7,500 Pounds for Class C RV on 2014 Ford E-350 Chassis
  • We do have some universal weld-on trailer hitch receivers that will have the capacity you need on your Class C Thor Chateau. If the RV's frame is 44 inches or less then you can use the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame # 41990-07. If you need a wider hitch we have # 41991-07 which will fit frames up to 62 inches wide. Both hitches are rated up to 16,000 pounds towing. You should check that the Thor is rated for at least 7,500 pounds because the hitch will not increase the RV's capacity.

  • How to Use Rola Convoy with 1-1/4 Shank on 2012 Jeep Liberty with 2 Receiver
  • There is not a specific adapter for the Rola Convoy 9307 to adapt to a 2" receiver but you can use a hitch reducer sleeve like the Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HT02 to make the 2" hitch on your 2012 Jeep Liberty into a 1-1/4" receiver. I prefer this to an extension type adapter because it uses the existing receiver and does not extend away from the cross tube significantly, so it won't reduce your tongue weight by 50% like the # C45770 would.

  • Easy-Install 4-Pole Trailer Wiring Harness for Towing with 2004 Jeep Liberty
  • Small utility trailers sometimes do not have lights and towing one of these naturally does not require the vehicle to have a trailer wiring harness, but larger trailers that are legally required to have lights will need the tow vehicle to have the appropriate type of wiring harness. Lighting requirements vary by trailer size and weight, and also by state; the linked article will help illustrate. It is easy to add a 4-pole wiring harness such as the USA-made Curt # C55382 that will provide...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2006 Jeep Liberty with a Roadmaster Sterling All-Terrain Tow Bar

The base plates to use with your Sterling All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-576 is the EZ4 Kit # RM-521423-4. These are custom fit for the Liberty. For safety cables us # RM-643. In addition to the tow bar and base plates you'll need wiring to power the Jeep's lights, a braking system, and likely a high-low adapter. To...

  • How to Replace Spigot Adapter on RV
  • If you need to replace the Valterra RV Sewer Termination Adapter # T1029-1, or a similar connector, then you should be able to cut off your current adapter and then install a new adapter using a coupler like part # D50-2935. Be sure to use Valterra ABS Solvent Cement # A05-0303 to make the connection after cleaning the pipes really well so that you get the best connection possible. If you are uncomfortable with this then I recommend checking in with a local trusted shop to have them do...

  • Stand-Up Paddleboard Recommendation for a 2011 Jeep Liberty to Clear Roof Antenna
  • If your 2011 Jeep Liberty has a trailer hitch with a 2 inch receiver, then you could use the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar, # RTL002, but you will likely have to carry your stand up paddleboard at an angle to clear your antenna. A better option for you would be the Yakima SUPDawg, part # Y04075, and the Thule WingBar Evod Roof Rack, which consists of the 53 Inch Thule WingBars, # TH711420 in black or # TH711400 in silver, along with the Evo Raised Rail Feet,...

  • How Level Should a Tow Bar be to Flat Tow a 2008 Jeep Liberty
  • When flat towing a vehicle behind a motorhome you want the tow bar to bewithin 3 inches of perfectly level. We call this the "safe zone" for flat towing. I've linked a help article for you. In order to help you get your setup level you may need a high-low adapter. I've also linked our selection of adapters for you to look at so you can choose the correct rise or drop you need to safely tow your 2008 Jeep Liberty. Another thing to check before attempting to tow the Jeep is the owner's...

  • Will the Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller Work to Tow a Jeep Liberty with a Class C Motorhome?
  • I have exactly what you need, but unfortunately a trailer brake controller will not work in a flat towing situation. Instead you will need a supplemental braking system. I attached our help article that will give you a comprehensive overview of supplemental braking systems, but if I may make a recommendation, I'd look at either the Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO, # SM99251, or the Roadmaster Even Brake, # RM-9400. The Stay-IN-Play DUO, # SM99251, is installed on the tow vehicle and you never...

  • Parts Needed To Make 4-Way/7-Way Electrical Connections From 2005 Jeep Liberty To Trailer
  • You will need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118524 to add a 4-way flat connector to your 2005 Jeep Liberty for towing most small trailers. If your trailer uses a 7-way connector you will also need a Installation Kit # ETBC7 which will contain the additional wiring needed to add a charge line and Brake Controller # RED52VR to your Liberty. The Mounting Brackets # 18140 and # 18144 will allow you to secure the 4-way flat connector to your receiver without drilling. If you need the...

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Crossbars for a 2009 Jeep Liberty
  • The heaviest rated crossbars and platform for your 2009 Jeep Liberty is going to depend on your vehicle. You'll want to abide by the maximum weight capacity of your Jeep's roof before anything else because you're only as strong as your weakest link. So if your Jeep has a 165-lbs roof weight capacity, then that's your max; so you're going to need to figure that out first. For a large roof rack and platform rack I recommend going with the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 ...

  • How to Power Supplementary Braking System In Jeep Liberty that Has Battery Disconnect Switch
  • A flat towing wiring harness cannot be plugged in to your Liberty's standard 4-pole trailer wiring harness, the one that you would use to tow a trailer. Flat tow wiring needs to remain separate from the toad's own trailer wiring. A magnetic tow light kit like Hopkins #C6304 makes for quick and easy installation without having to interfere with existing trailer wiring. For powering a supplementary braking system such as the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR while your toad's battery is shut off...

  • How to Get Replacement Keys for a Rhino Rack Roof Rack on a 2007 Jeep Liberty
  • Rhino Rack does not offer replacement keys individually, so to replace your key you'd have to also replace your lock cores. If you can let me know what key number you need I can look for a replacement set that would include 2 new keys. For instance, if you needed key number 093, then you could use the Rhino-Rack Masterkey Lock Barrels # RRRK093-2, which includes two number 093 keys as well as 2 new lock cores.

  • Parts Needed To Install a 7-Way Trailer Connector and Brake Controller on a 2011 Jeep Liberty
  • I'm going to assume that you are wanting to add a 7-way to your 2011 Jeep Liberty. You will first need to install a Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118554 if you do not already have a 4-way flat connector on your Jeep. Then you will be able to add the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7. This will connect to the 4-way flat connector for the lighting and the additional wiring for a brake controller as well as charge line are also included. I have linked...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2007 Jeep Liberty Behind a Motor Home
  • On the base plate kit # BX1122 the tabs are 20 inches apart on center. The only tow bars that can be used are the Avail, # BX7420, Aventa, # BX7445, Alpha, # BX7380, and Allure, # BX7460P. The most popular of these is the Avail. It also comes with safety cables so you would not have to add any. You will also need a lighting solution to flat tow the vehicle. I recommend the bulb and socket kit # RM-155. It will bypass the vehicle wiring so you will not have to splice into it. Most states...
