Expert Answers about Jeep Grand Cherokee


  • Tow Mirror Recommendation for 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee that is Very Stable
  • We don't have any custom fit mirrors for your 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee so you'd be limited to using a universal mirror setup like you mentioned. It's not the prettiest option but the door mounted universal mirrors like the CIPA part # 11650 would be a really great option. We had the chance to install this on a similar 2010 Cherokee and found it fit really well and were very stable.

  • How To Use A 1-1/4" Bike Rack On 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee With 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • I have a solution for you, but the only trailer hitch receivers available for your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee are 2". In order to use your 1-1/4" with a 2" hitch receiver you will need to use a reducer sleeve such as Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" # HT02. The 1/2" pin is included for the 1-1/4" accessory end. For the 2" end I recommend using Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 63232 which will keep everything tight and reduce any rattle/wiggle. If you do not have a trailer hitch receiver...

  • The Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack 60" Long x 49" Wide # RR74AB comes with everything you need to install it onto the fixed mounting points on your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee's roof. This is the only platform roof rack that is confirmed to fit your vehicle. There are also numerous accessories that can be mounted onto this platform rack.

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring For 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee

  • Can I Add An Air Bag Kit To A 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
  • Yes we have just the thing! For your 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee I recommend the Air lift # AL60825. The air bag itself goes inside the factory coil spring and will help to "beef up" the stock suspension. They will help to level your jeep, and overall improve the ride quality when under a load. The kit comes with 2 manual inflation valves that are typically mounted on the rear bumper. They are fairly easy to install. I have linked an install video below if you want to take a closer look...

  • What is Benefit to Stretchiness of Front Runner Stretch Cargo Strap
  • The benefit to a cargo strap like the Front Runner part # FR59RV when securing cargo will be that if the cargo shifts at all the stretchiness of the strap will allow it to move and still put tension on the cargo holding it in place. If there's no give you run the risk of cargo shifting and the strap losing all tension on the cargo and potentially losing it.

  • Tie Down Strap Recommendation for Can Am Outlander
  • The Front Runner Stratchit Shorties part # FR59RV wasn't designed for securing a Can Am Outlander like you have. It was more designed for lighter weight cargo. For your application a stretching tie down like the ShockStrap part # 297-9RSDB would be a better choice. This has a capacity of 2,000 lb per strap instead.

  • Curt Brake Controller Wiring C51500 vs. DrawTite 5506 for Wiring Up Brake Controller
  • You are on the right track for installing your brake controller in your 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The part # 5506 does include more than you would need if you aren't making the 12 volt circuit complete so instead the Curt part # C51500 would be all that you need. The # 5506 would be the kit to use if you needed the 12 volt circuit.

  • Weight Distribution and Brake Controller for a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 5,500 Pound Trailer
  • If you use a weight distribution system rated higher than the total tongue weight then the system will not be effective at distributing the weight and will make for a very stiff ride. To choose a weight distribution system you will need to go by the total tongue weight of the set up. This is calculated by taking the tongue weight of the trailer, when loaded and ready to tow, and adding to that the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. For a tongue weight of...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For Carrying a Dirt Bike With a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo X
  • If your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo X has the removable rear fascia for a factory receiver you will want to go with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT38MR. This is the strongest receiver the Grand Cherokee as it is rated to support up to 900lbs. If you do not have this removable fascia I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98901. This receiver is rated to support up to 600lbs of tongue weight and with its matte black finish you will have a factory appearance....

  • What Should the Tire Pressure be for a 225/75-15 Trailer Tire with Load Range E Rating
  • If you install new 225/75-15 tires on your trailer or any trailer for that matter with a load range E rating like part # LHWL304 for example then you will need to fill them to the max psi listed on the sidewall which for this tire is 80 psi. This will allow you to retain the maximum weight capacity of 2,830 lbs per tire. In regards to ply rating, this is no longer a viable metric in today's industry when comparing tires as tire manufacturers have gone to using lighter but stronger materials...

  • How to Add a Trailer Connector to a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • I do not believe all 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokees came with a factory trailer connector. In order to add one you will want to first look under the vehicle's rear bumper near the spare tire for a USCAR car plug which I have attached a photo of for you. The plug may be taped to an existing wiring harness. If you have this plug then you can use part # C55384 to add a 4-way trailer connector or part # C55774 to add a 4 and 7-way trailer connector. I have attached install videos of both harnesses...

  • What do I Need to flat Tow a 2011 to 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Behind a Motorhome
  • To flat tow a 2011 to 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee there are 5 major components needed: base plates, tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. The base plates are what attach to the front of the Jeep and provide a safe and proper attachment point for the tow bar. For the 2011 to 2013 Grand Cherokee I recommend Roadmaster EZ5 base plates # RM-521440-5. These base plates feature removable arms that, when removed, makes the base plates almost invisible. I have linked a video...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness & Brake Control Wiring for 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee with/without Tow Package
  • If your 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee does not have a trailer connector at the back but is pre-wired with the factory tow package then you can add a 4- and 7-Way connector using # HM40975-11933. Please note: It may be necessary to see a local Jeep dealer to activate the tow package wiring circuit. Models that did not come with the factory tow package would need to use # 118727 to add the 4-Way and then # ETBC7 to add the 7-Way. For a brake controller, if your Jeep did come with the factory...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for Attaching to Flush Rails of 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • The Rhino-Rack roof rack # RRRVP27 you mentioned is a fit for your Jeep as long as your flush rails have a chrome center section. These crossbars will give you a factory look and a quality rack that includes the locks to secure your investment. If you wanted a longer crossbar we have the Yakima roof rack part numbers # Y00425, # Y53TR, and # Y00244 which will give you a 50 inch long crossbar roof rack. I attached a picture and install video for this rack on a similar 2018 Grand Cherokee...

  • Adding 4-Way Connector To 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee With Oem 7-Way Wiring

If you want to retain the 7-way connector at the back of your Jeep and add the 4-way connector The Hopkins 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector, part # HM40975 will work well for you. My on ly concern is if you have the length from the existing 7-way to plug into the back of this connector. If so, then you are good to go. Another connector you may want to consider is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness, part...
