Choosing Between Curt and Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitches for 2015 Jeep Wrangler
Question:
I have a 2015 Jeep wrangler, and I need a hitch. What do you have. Also kind of wiring kit do you offer? Thanks in advance,

Expert Reply:
For your Jeep Wrangler, we have the Draw-Tite # DT78MR. The Draw-Tite has a long receiver tube, which means that accessories like bike racks would be more likely to clear the rear mounted spare tire on your Jeep.
For trailer wiring, I'd recommend the Tow Ready # 118416, you can see an installation video for the hitch and the trailer wiring by clicking the provided links.
For a ball mount, I'd recommend the # C45030 and for a trailer ball, part # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or # 63845 for a 2 inch. You will also need a pin and clip like # PC3.If your Jeep has bigger than stock size tires, you might need a ball mount with a longer drop. I've linked you to an FAQ article that shows how to measure to find the ball mount with the correct drop so your trailer is towed level (or nearly so).
