- Recommended Hitch for 2024 Jeep Compass
- For your 2024 Jeep Compass I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e48AR. This is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver and a bolt-on installation. The 600 lb max tongue weight will be more than enough to handle the weight of your bike rack and bikes. It also features a matte black finish for a rugged look that helps hide dirt and scratches.

- There are not any trunk mounted bike racks currently fit guided from any of our manufacturers for your 2018 Jeep Compass.

This rack will safely hold your bikes by the wheels for no frame contact, will allow easy loading of even the inner most bike, and will allow you to tilt the rack with bikes loaded for cargo access.

- I attached a link to this page that has all of the tire chains we offer that fit your tire size of 205/70R16 but my favorite option is the Pewag RS diamond chains part # PWRS75 as they install easily, provide great traction, and due to the diamond pattern the ride quality is a little smoother and side to side traction (turning) is better.

- For a 2 inch hitch that would work great for towing with your 2018 Jeep Compass the hitch I recommend is the Curt trailer hitch part # C13363.

- The cabin filter in your 2009 Jeep Compass is behind the glove box. You'll need to push in on the sides of your glove box when it's open so that you can lower it and then when that's out of the way you'll see a black plastic panel with the word "AIRFLOW" on it. It has a release on either side and will allow you to pull off the cover. Behind that is the filter. The part # 3513712 is then the correct replacement.

view full answer... - Can Curt T-Connector And Curt 4-way and 7-way Connector Be Powered From The Same Wire?
- I have another option for you, but the Curt T-Connector # C56369 and Curt 7-way Connector # C57672 for your 2019 Jeep Compass cannot be powered by the same wire to the battery. The reason for this is the # C56369 requires you to use the included 10 amp fuse. Using a 30 or 40 amp circuit breaker would overload the module.
While it is a little inconvenient, you will need to run two separate power wires.
Instead of using the # C57672 I recommend the # ETBC7 which has the same style 4-way...

- I reached out to my contact at Draw-Tite and they have not heard of any issues regarding the hands free lift gate sensor not working on a 2021 Jeep Compass with the Draw-Tite # 76144 installed.
With that said typically a trailer hitch receiver will somewhat interfere with a hands free lift gate sensor, but not disable it. You would just need to place your foot on either side of the receiver and move it around a bit until you find the new sweet spot for the sensor.
