Expert Answers about Jeep Patriot


  • 2013 Jeep Patriot Back Seat Covers for a Split Bench Seat and No Center Arm Rest
  • When looking at seat covers for the second row of your 2013 Jeep Patriot, you will need to look at the ones labeled as 60/40 Split Back with Solid Bench Seat. I have linked them for you. The pictures are typical photos meant to show the color and not reflect the actual vehicle. The actual product will have the bench split the correct way, like in the drawing you see, Style AZ, and the arm rest/drink holder that you see in the pictures will not be present.

  • Will the Dirt Bike Hitch Carrier # e98873 Work on a 2007 Jeep Patriot with 2 Inch Hitch
  • The etrailer Motorcycle Carrier, item # e98873, is designed to safely carry 500 pounds of weight. The vehicle weight capacity is usually listed in the owner's manual or can be obtained from the dealer or manufacturer, and you will need to check the tongue weight capacity of the hitch on your Patriot. As long as the vehicle and trailer hitch tongue weight capacity is less than the combined weight of the # e98874 which is 58 pounds and the weight of your bike, this carrier would work for...

  • Can You Get Into the Trunk With the Thule OutWay On a 2012 Jeep Patriot
  • The ThulOutWay 2-Bike Rack part # TH45JV is a confirmed fit for your 2012 Jeep Patriot. If you wanted to then access the hatch you would want to remove the bikes and rack completely as Thule states not to open the hatch with the bike rack attached. This is the case for all trunk mounted bike racks because the hatch is not designed to support the weight of the rack and you could run into clearance issues in doing so. Now with that said, you would most likely be able to open the truck and...

  • Hitch Bike Rack for Curt Class III Hitch C13081 on 2012 Jeep Patriot
  • Your 2012 Jeep Patriot is within the same generation of this vehicle as the 2014 model year shown in the linked installation video. Your Curt hitch # C13081 will mount to your vehicle so that the hitch pin hole is 6-1/2-inches from the rear edge of the bumper cover. This means you want to choose a 4-bike hitch rack with at least 7-inches of clearance to ensure no interference between the rack and vehicle. I suggest the Yakima FullSwing 4 Bike Rack # Y02465. It includes locks for the rack...

  • Will Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 75712 Fit a 2014 Jeep Patriot Latitude
  • Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75712 fits all models of the 2014 Jeep Patriot. Installation will be similar to the vehicle I have linked showing installation on a 2011 model. I have also linked the instructions for you to view. All of the available hitches for your 2014 Patriot install in similar ways. The Draw-Tite hitch has an estimated install time of 30 minutes whereas the Curt hitches are estimated at 40 minutes. Not a huge difference but every little bit counts. If you plan on doing some...

  • Weight Distribution System for a 3500 lb Trailer Towed By a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder
  • The Reese Weight Distribution System, # RP66020, that you referenced has a tongue weight range of 200 lbs to 600 lbs. As long as the tongue weight of your towing setup falls within that range, this system will work well for you. The tongue weight of your towing setup will include the loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of your trailer plus the weight of any cargo in your 2008 Nissan Pathfinder loaded behind the rear axle. This system does not require any drilling to install and can...

  • Will the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2007 Jeep Patriot Limited
  • I checked with Thule and the OutWay 3 trunk mount bike rack # TH56BV will fit your 2007 Jeep Patriot. For the best 3-bike trunk mount rack, look no further than the OutWay. I own this rack myself and my family loves it. My favorite feature has got to be the retractable cables. It makes installation and removal quick and easy; more so than any other trunk mount rack I have used. There is also an integrated cable lock in the last bike position and you can lock the cables in place on one...

  • The Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/Barb Inlets # D13502 is confirmed to fit your 2014 Jeep Patriot. I would not say it is something that is super common to do on the Patriot but I know it has been done and can be done.

  • Tow Bar That Will Work for More Than One Vehicle
  • Yes, you can use one tow bar for multiple vehicles because tow bars are actually compatible with the base plates that fit vehicles instead of the vehicles themselves. I recommend the Demco Excali-Bar III Non-Binding Tow Bar # DM9511013 which is compatible with both the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518290 that fits a 2017 Jeep Patriot (with manual transmission) and the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518224 that fits a 2011 Chevy Malibu. I have added a link to a video review of...

  • Will Thule Cargo Basket # TH859XT Fit On 2012 Jeep Patriot

This cargo carrier is 49 inches long and the Thule Cargo Basket Extension # TH8591XT will add an additional 20 inches to that. You could always purchase the basket first to ensure a proper fit, then purchase the extension later if needed. The basket has a weight capacity of 150 lbs, but check your vehicle owners guide to ensure your roof can handle...

  • Compatibility of Hollywood Racks # HR1000Z-R-TRKAD Trike Carrier with OEM Hitch on 2012 Jeep Patriot
  • The Hollywood Racks # HR1000Z-R-TRKADP is meant for use on a Class II hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver or a Class III or IV hitch with a 2 inch receiver opening. It is not meant for a Class I receiver. The rack has an integrated adapter. My research indicates that the factory hitch on a Patriot is a Class II, but you can confirm this by checking the sticker affixed to the hitch. If the weight capacity listed is 2000 lbs or greater, it is a Class II and the # HR1000Z-R-TRKADP rack would...

  • Vehicle Wiring Harness for 2012 Jeep Patriot with LED Tail Lights
  • Yes, the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56333 will work on your 2012 Jeep Patriot. It uses a powered convertor so the power pulled from your factory harness will be very limited. This system is designed to plug into the factory taillight connectors so as long as those were not changed with the taillights than the kit will remain plug and play at the taillights. I recommend using the Mounting Brackets # 18144 and 18140 to secure the 4-way...

  • Recommended Blind Spot Mirrors for 2016 Jeep Patriot Sport
  • For your 2016 Jeep Patriot Sport, I recommend using the K-Source Blind Spot Mirror part # KSC0200. This spotter mirror attaches directly to the face of your factory mirror. The lens is adjustable and can rotate to find your ideal viewing angle. The adhesive backing allows for a easy peel and stick installation. I recommend placing these spot mirrors on the lower corner of your factory mirror face closest to the vehicle. You will need one for each side. The K-Source Custom Blind-Spot Mirrors...

  • Gap Between Frame and Hitch When Installing Draw-Tite Hitch On 2017 Jeep Patriot
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75712 is a confirmed fit for a 2017 Jeep Patriot. That said, there should be no washers or spacers needed to fill the gap between the frame and flange on the trailer hitch. If a gap is present, you may want to bend the flanges out on the trailer hitch. The other option as you mentioned is to just run the bolts down as that will then help line-up the flange to the frame rail but you will need to be careful about stressing the frame too...

  • Will the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Trunk Mount Carrier # TH45JV Fit a 2011 Jeep Patriot
  • Yes, the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Trunk Mount Carrier, part # TH45JV, will fit your 2011 Jeep Patriot. The rear wiper can not be used when the bike rack is mounted. This bike rack is one of Thules newest designs. It installs quickly because it has only 2 retractable cables rather than 4-6 straps of other carriers. This makes for fast installation and a clean look. I am including a link to a video review of this bike rack. If you will be carrying any women's or children's bikes that do not...
