The Curt # C13395 and etrailer # e73ZR are in fact nearly identical. However, what sets the etrailer hitch apart is the matte black powder coat finish. This gives it more of an OEM appearance for a sharp look on your 2022 Jeep Cherokee and is also the reason I would recommend it over others. The finish also does a better job hiding dirt and dings when compared to the glossy finish in the Curt hitch.
If you plan on doing some towing you will also need wiring and a ball mount. The most reliable... view full answer...
There are two four pole trailer wiring options for the 2020 Jeep Cherokee. I prefer the Curt T-connector # C56406.
Since your vehicle didn't come from the factory with wiring, it probably didn't come with a hitch either. I recommend # C13395. This hitch is concealed behind your bumper cover and only the receiver tube is visible from behind the vehicle.
I have attached an article to determine which ball mount works best for your application. An existing ball mount might work, but make... view full answer...
The biggest difference between the Tow Ready Tail Light Isolating Diode System # TR118821 and the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154 is that Tow Ready created their wiring kit with quick disconnects so if you ever get a new vehicle you can take the kit with you. The Roadmaster option can also be removed but you would have to splice all of the wiring again as the quick disconnects don't match up the way the Tow Ready option does.
Both are great options and I'm sure... view full answer...
Great question!
The Brake Buddy Classic 3 # HM39494 is a more basic system than the Brake Buddy Select 3 # HM39524 as the Classic just uses preset braking (which applies the brakes at a preset intensity when the inertia sensor detects deceleration) while Select lets you choose between proportional and full-braking action (activates towed vehicle brakes at max power regardless of RV brake pedal intensity) when you’re towing a vehicle. The Select also comes with a remote control so you can... view full answer...
Both the # HM39530 and the # SM99251 are both good options but for your needs I recommend the # HM39530. It uses a 7-way flat connector, which is included, and can plug into your lighting system with a 4 pole connector it has coming off of the 7-way flat connector. It also comes with a battery charger that will keep your battery charged as your tow. The # SM99251 does not come with a battery charger so you'd have to purchase a separate battery charger like the # BB54FR. Both braking systems... view full answer...
To flat tow your 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk Elite you will need at least 5 main parts. Those parts being a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, tow bar wiring and a supplemental braking system.
Overall both had similar recommendations other than the braking system and that really just comes down to personal preference. One offered the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700 (requires the # RM-751471 for installation) which is a permanent installation that doesn't... view full answer...
The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BX1143 which replaced the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part BX1140 is lighter because there is less material. The update was made to clear sensors that were added to the 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk therefore they needed to make the arms physically smaller which means they are also lighter. view full answer...
The hitch you mentioned would work great for you.
There are two hitch types available for your 2015 Cherokee a hitch that would have a crossbar that's completely concealed behind the rear bumper like the Curt Class III trailer hitch, part # C13172 or the style of hitch where the crossbar would be entirely exposed, like the Curt Class III, part # C13171.
If having the majority of the hitch exposed isn't a concern for you, by all means go with the # C13171, it would work just great for... view full answer...
Draw-tite, Reese and Hidden Hitch are all part of a larger parent company, Cequent. The hitches are marketed under different brand names and for the most part are essentially the same usually. That being said, there are times when one of the name brands is manufactured in house and another may be outsourced for manufacture or there may be a small design difference between the parts. This is the reason for pricing differences on the different brands. view full answer...
All of the hitches offered for your 2017 Jeep Cherokee Latitude are the 2-inch size rated as Class III hitches and are shown on the linked page. Of the available options I suggest the Curt # C13172 because it offers a similar capacity than the similarly-priced etrailer # e73ZR and still offers no-drill installation which is illustrated in the linked video. All hardware is included.
If you have no factory tow package, for wiring you can use the hardwire kit # C56208. An installation video... view full answer...
Curt has two different type of hitches that fit your 2019 Jeep Cherokee Overland like with the part # C13171 and the more hidden part # C13395 which only has it's hitch opening that hangs below the rear bumper. The more hidden hitch is the superior design in all ways as it has an easier install, more weight capacity, better ground clearance, and is more hidden. It's definitely the way to go. In the past couple years there has been a big surge in the popularity of the hidden hitch design... view full answer...
The advantage of using the 53" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711400 over the 47" part # TH711200 is that you have more crossbar space to potentially hold more equipment. The only problem here is that the WingBar Evo crossbars only have a limited amount of space on the underside where your Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401 connect to the raised rails on your 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. I do have another option for you to use longer crossbars but if you are wanting to stick with the Thule WingBar... view full answer...
You're correct that there are two options for your 2021 Jeep Cherokee, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13395 and the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75998 and they're both really nice hitches.
The main difference between the two is that with the Draw-Tite # 75998 you're going to get a little bit better ground clearance (14") and the distance from the hitch pin hole to the edge of the bumper is slightly less (6")... view full answer...
Your 2001 Jeep Cherokee is a vehicle that can be fitted with either of two different classes of hitch, a 1-1/4-inch Class II hitch OR a 2-inch Class III. As you noted, even within the Class III grouping there are varying tongue weight (TW) and gross trailer weight (GTW) ratings. Curt Class III hitches # 13084 and # 13160 do have a 500-lb TW rating while the Draw-Tite # 75054 Class III hitches is rated lower.

We offer four Class III trailer hitches for your 2014 Jeep Cherokee Latitude and these can be seen on the link provided.

If you refer to the linked installation video you can see exactly how the hitch will look once installed.

The main difference between Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Receivers # C13172 and # C13171 is the appearance. The # C13172 hides the cross tube of the hitch so all the is exposed under your 2015 Jeep Cherokee Limited is the receiver opening. On the # C13171 you will be able to see the majority of the hitch. This is also the reason for the fascia trimming on the # C13172. The receiver opening us under the fascia while the cross tube is hidden away behind it. So there needs to be an opening... view full answer...
The distance from the ground to the top of the inside edge on the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13171 is 11-1/4" when we installed it on a 2017 Jeep Cherokee. The distance from the ground to the top of the inside edge on the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13172 is 13" when we installed it on a 2017 Jeep Cherokee. Therefore, part # C13172 will provide more ground clearance than part # C13171. Please note that we have not yet installed either of these hitches on a 2018 Jeep Cherokee... view full answer...
Both of the 2-bike platform racks you referenced, the Yakima Hold-Up # Y02443 and the Kuat NV # NV22G, are excellent choices for the high capacity 2-inch hitches offered for your 2015 Jeep Cherokee.
Another option in a cargo-friendly rack (if you're interested in considering a hanging-style rack) is one of the swing-away carriers such as the Yakima FullSwing # Y02465. This 4-bike rack would provide lots of space between your two bikes for easier loading and contact-free travel, and it... view full answer...

The etrailer has a Maximum gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 500 lbs.

The two Curt Class III hitches made for your 2019 Cherokee, parts # C13395 and # C13171, differ primarily in their installed appearance.
Hitch # C13171 will install such that its main cross tube is visible under the bumper cover while model # C13395 has a concealed cross tube that is more hidden. If you refer to the two linked photos you can see the difference; the blue vehicle has visible hitch # C13171 and the red one has the concealed hitch # C13395.
