The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13363 is going to require some minimal trimming to the rear bumper as well as the heat shield to fit the receiver tube out. I've attached a video where Robert will walk you through installing this hitch to help you in this process. view full answer...
From what I was able to find it looks like the Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater # KH11812 will install near the battery/fuse box on your 2016 Jeep Compass. I don't have the exact location though so you might need to do some poking around before you find it. view full answer...
From what I could find there should only be one of the plug that has wires leading to the body of your 2014 Jeep Compass. This is the plug that you will connect the T-One # 118539 tees to. I have attached a picture from the installation instructions as well as a photo from the attached install video on a 2015 Compass that you can reference.
If you are still having issues please send me a picture of your tail light so I can help you determine which plug you need to use. view full answer...
The Curt # C13363 Class III receiver hitch you'd looked at is indeed a fit for your 2019 Jeep Compass.
The short and direct answer: I've looked over the 'Trailer Towing' section of your owner's manual, and found no blanket prohibitions that forbid trailer towing for your vehicle as long as your Compass is equpped with the 9 speed transmission and is a 4 WD model. As long as the stated 2000 lb towing/200 lb tongue weight capacities are observed, you'll have no negative warrantly impliations.... view full answer...
Are you speaking of the Tekonsha Prodigy RF? If so, the trailer connector on the vehicle needs funtional lighting circuits and a 12-volt constant power supply to the pin on the 7-way trailer that's in the 1:00 position. Assuming that you're using an adapter such as the # 37185, you'd plug the 4 pin plug on the adapter into the corresponding plug on the vehicle, ground the white wire to the vehicle chassis or frame and extend the black wire so it'll reach the vehicle's positive battery terminal.... view full answer...
I can see why this might be confusing, and I can tell you that the 2017 Jeep Compass with a manual transmission can be flat towed, where the "All New 2017 Compass" cannot- this would explain the differences between the two manuals. Since these are two distinct vehicles, you would just need to know which version of the 2017 Jeep Compass you've got in order to make the determination as to whether or not it is flat-towable. If you're not sure, then your best bet is to contact Jeep with your... view full answer...
From what I could find, it looks like there is still trimming needed to install the Draw-Tite Max-Frame # 76144 on your 2020 Jeep Compass Trailhawk. I included an install video we did on a 2020 Compass for you to check out, but it is not a Trailhawk edition, unfortunately.
I double checked and it looks like the Curt # C13363 for the 2020 Jeep Compas will require trimming as well, but in a different spot. This is due to it being installed slightly different than the # 76144. view full answer...
Great question! The torque values are specified in the installation instructions in step # 8 of the installation instructions which I have linked for you. We don't mention them in the videos because they can change over time, and we want to make sure the hitch bolts on the hitch you purchase are torqued according to the latest version of the installation instructions.
If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like part # C56369, a ball mount like # 2753... view full answer...
For your 2017 Jeep Compass NEW BODY style the correct fitting trailer hitch is the Draw Tite part # 36598.

If you don't already have a 4-Way connector on your 2017 Jeep Compass and your cargo will be covering the lights on your Compass then I do recommend installing a 4-Way. Since you already have a trailer hitch a hitch mount cargo carrier would be much more easy to use that piling your cargo on your roof.
For an "Old Style" Compass (11th letter of VIN is D) I recommend the T-One # 118539 but if you have a "New Style" (11th letter of the VIN is T) I recommend the Curt T-Connector # C56369.... view full answer...
Yes, the tail lights on your 2017 Jeep Compass will still work like normal even if the trailer wiring harness power is interrupted or something else happens to it (such as a short from the trailer). The connectors have a pass-through type of design and the wiring harness # C56369 for the new body style Compass is only using the tail light connections to know when you are using the brakes, turn signals, and running lights. view full answer...
In general a 4WD vehicle performs best with tire chains on all four tires, since all four tires deliver traction. But if you only want to use one set most often they will do the most good on the rear tires.
Chains are selected based on tire size, which can be found right on the tire sidewall. If you click on the link provided you'll see how the tire size code, like 205/70-16, is indicated. Once you confirm your tire size just click on that size to see the chains that fit those tires. For... view full answer...
There is minor fascia trimming required to install Curt trailer hitch # C12057 on your 2013 Jeep Compass. I have included a picture that comes from the instructions showing the area that needs to be trimmed. I have also linked the instructions for you to view.
Instead of the Class II hitch you're looking at I recommend the Class III # C13081. The 2 inch receiver opening of the Class III accepts a lot more accessories than the Class II. The Class III also makes sure you get all of the... view full answer...
Yes, the install of the etrailer hitch part # e48AR would be the same on a 2020 Jeep Compass and a 2023 since they are the same generation. view full answer...
Yes you absolutely can use a step bit to enlarge the holes. There is definitely more than one way to do it. We always say to use a drill, file or rotary tool. A drill bit being the preferred method of our installers. I see that you were searching for parts for a 2018 Jeep Compass. If So I recommend our etrailer class 3 hitch # e48AR. Installation of this hitch likely will require access holes to be enlarged. view full answer...
The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118539 is the correct harness for your 2014 Jeep Compass. The connector you removed is only for the brake/running light on your tail light. The 6 pin connector which attaches your tail light to the vehicle is on the bottom of the tail light. This is the connector you need to attach the 4-way harness to. I have linked in install video so you can see the connector in question as I can see it on the bottom of your tail light. view full answer...
For your 2019 Jeep Compass, to install the Curt Hitch # C13363 which is a custom fit, you would need to drill those holes and install the hardware. We haven't seen any models that don't have the two holes on each side of the vehicle in those frame rails, so they would need to be added. view full answer...
To install the Curt Class II # C12174 hitch on a 2018 Jeep Compass, you won't need to cut a hole in the bumper itself, but you WILL need to cut a 2-5/8 x 2-1/2 inch notch in the bottom of the bumper cover/fascia as shown in step # 5 of the linked installation instructions.
If you don't wish to notch the bumper cover/fascia, you could use the Draw-Tite Class II hitch, part # 36598 which wouldn't require any trimming, however the hitch will be much more visible. I'll link you to an install... view full answer...
Since you already have the 4-pole trailer connector in place, the rest is pretty easy. If your trailer does not have brakes and you don't need the 12-v feed from the battery of the tow vehicle, you can simply use the
# 31785 4-pole to 7-way adapter. Plug the 4 pole from the adapter into the 4-pole you installed and ground the white wire to the vehicle frame, and you're good to go. You'll also need a bracket like # 18136 to mount the 7-way to the hitch crossbar.
If your trailer has electric... view full answer...
Trimming the fascia on a 2010 Jeep Compass, is only required on the Rallye Edition model. This does include the Draw-Tite # 75712. If you do not have the Rallye Edition, you will not have to do any trimming to install any of the available hitches. I have included a link to the instructions for Draw-Tite 75712 which has an illustration in the upper left corner that shows why the fascia must be trimmed on the Rallye Edition only.
I am including a link to a video of the Draw-Tite hitch being... view full answer...
