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... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
I do have an option for you but the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13081 will not allow you to re-install the factory tow hook. If you would like to keep the factory tow hook then you will want to use the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75712 instead which will allow you to retain the tow hook once it has been temporarily removed to install the hitch.
I have attached an install video of the Draw-Tite hitch on a similar 2016 Jeep Patriot for you. view full answer...
The Yakima HangOut # Y02637 that you referenced, which is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Jeep Patriot, can hold up to 2 bikes that weigh a combined 60 lbs. If your cruisers weigh more than that we will have to look into some different options.
This is a great bike rack that is easily adjustable for the best fit and uses a safety strap to help secure the bikes during transit. It doesn't come with locks but you can add them with the Security Strap # Y02623, Cable # Y07233, and Lock cores... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
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.

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... view full answer...

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... view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C13081 and the Pro Series Hitch Cargo Carrier, part # 63153 will work well with each other on your Patriot.
I have attached a photo that shows the clearance needed at the back of a 2015 Patriot for any hitch mounted accessories to clear the rear bumper. The distance is 6 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back edge of the rear bumper.
The Pro Series Hitch Cargo Carrier, part # 63153 has a distance of 5 inches from the center of the hitch... view full answer...

For the Rhino-Rack cargo basket # RMCB02 to fit, the OEM crossbars on your vehicle can be no larger than 3-1/2 inches wide and 1-1/4 inches tall. If your crossbars are at or under those dimensions the carrier feet will be able to mount to them.
The Yakima LoadWarrior, # Y07070, is listed as a direct fit to the OEM crossbars on a 2013 Jeep Patriot so it is another option. I have included links to video reviews of both cargo baskets for you. view full answer...
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. view full answer...
The SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251 is a fit for your 2014 Jeep Patriot. Although we do not have a video of this being installed on a Patriot I did link a video of it being installed on a '14 Cherokee which will be similar.
I also linked the installation manual for you to check out, though there are not specific instructions for different years, makes and models of vehicles so you will need to locate the vacuum line coming from the brake booster for your Patriot.... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
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. view full answer...
According to the owners manual for your 2016 Jeep Patriot you can only dolly tow with an automatic transmission if you have front wheel drive. The Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045 is a great option as it folds to a very small floor space when not needed. If your Patriot is all wheel drive it will need to be placed on a trailer to tow with all 4 wheels off of the ground. view full answer...
The correct Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chain Set for 215/60-17 tires on a 2015 Jeep Patriot is part # TH2004705235.
