There are a few factors that you need to take into consideration when looking at weight capacities for your 2016 Jeep Compass. You will want to compare the Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) and Tongue Weight (TW) capacities with that of your Jeep to see what you can safely tow when it comes to a trailer. The determining factor is whichever of those weight capacities is lowest whether it is your Jeep or the trailer hitch itself.
For your Jeep Compass I recommend using the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Receiver... view full answer...
With the 2.4L you could have the Trailer Tow package or the Off Road package which makes your towing capacity 2,000 pounds according to what I've found. If you don't have either of those packages then you're limited to only 1,000 pounds.
The parts I recommend for your Jeep are the Draw-Tite hitch, part # 75712, and Tekonsha wiring harness, part # 118539. The hitch has the highest capacity among the selection that fits your Compass so you'll get the strongest available and this wiring... view full answer...
Depending on your engine and transmission package per page 439 of the owners manual, the maximum tongue weight is 150-300lbs.
Specifically the 2.4L Auto/Man with Trailer Tow Prep Package (AHC) and 2.4L Auto With Freedom Drive II Off Road Package (AWL) models have a 300lb maximum tongue weight and could narrowly accommodate what you're trying to accomplish here but otherwise the mobility carrier is not going to be an option. We generally see many customers use those carriers on full... view full answer...
The Putco Metal LED Bulbs - 194 - 360 Degree like part # P340194B-360 P340194B-360 measures 1-1/16" long overall and 13/16" from the socket. view full answer...
To add a hitch to your 2022 Jeep Compass, I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e48AR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Jeep with included hardware. I really like this hitch because the crosstube mounts behind your rear bumper cover leaving only the 2" receiver visible.
Since you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C66BR and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
I also recommend using the No-Drill Mount Bracket item # 18136 and the item # C42CR to secure... view full answer...
On the Roadmaster High-Low Adapter # RM-048-10 the distance from the center of the pin hole on the shank to the front of that same shank is approximately 10-3/4 inches.
From the center of the pin hole to the nearest part of the support gusset is 4-1/2 inches. So no more than 4-1/2 inches of the shank, starting at the center of the pin hole, can be inserted into the receiver. I have included a picture that has a few more measurements that should also help.

Although the Draw-Tite Class III # 75712 has a 525 lb tongue weight capacity, the capabilities of the hitch will be limited by the capabilities of the vehicle its installed on. If the vehicle manufacturers stated tongue weight capacity is lower than that of the hitch, you will need to abide by the lower rating.
I cannot recommend exceeding Jeep's stated tongue weight capacity, as exceeding it could cause the attachment points between the vehicle and the hitch to fail.

You'll want to check your owner's manual for confirmation, but from what I was able to find out from my research, your 2012 Jeep Compass has a towing capacity of 1000-lbs. If that is confirmed by your owner's manual, you won't be able to safely tow a boat and trailer weighing 1600-lbs without damaging your vehicle.
When towing, you are always limited by the lowest rated component in the setup. In this case you may have an aftermarket hitch like the Curt # C13081 with a 4000-lb towing... view full answer...
Although the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 75712, which has a Gross Towing Weight (GTW) of 3,500 lbs and a Tongue Weight (TW) of 525 lbs, and the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13081, which has a GTW of 4,000 lbs and a TW of 400 lbs, have weight ratings that may be able to handle the weight of your loaded jet ski trailer you will need to check your owner's manual to determine if your 2016 Jeep Compass can safely tow it.

From my research the FWD model of the 2018 Jeep Compass is not rated to tow a trailer. The 4WD model is only if it has the 9-speed automatic transmission and even then is only rated up to 2,000 pounds. I would verify these numbers either with your owner's manual or with Jeep.
With that being said there are trailer hitches available that fit. The Draw-Tite Class III, part # 76144, is my recommendation for a hitch. If you determine you can tow a trailer with your Compass you still need... view full answer...
I did some research and the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 75712, has a tongue weight capacity of 525 pounds and a gross trailer weight capacity of 3,500 pounds. It is not rated for use with weight distribution. I have included a link to the installation details and a link to a video showing a typical installation.
If you are interested in this hitch and plan to do some towing I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit, # EBMK4. It comes with a ball mount, interchangeable ball set, hitch pin... view full answer...
If you were to add a hitch such as the Curt # C13363 to your 2017 Jeep Compass, you'll still be limited to the 200 lb tongue weight capacity as mentioned in the owner's manual. Although the hitch itself would be capable of carrying the weight, the same might not be true for the structure of the vehicle where the hitch attaches.
Using a hitch mounted carrier wouldn't be feasible for your vehicle. A small utility trailer, like # K2MMT4X6 would be your best bet.

Yes, there is a hitch available for your 2023 Jeep Compass. I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e48AR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Jeep with included hardware. I really like this hitch because the crosstube is hidden behind the rear bumper cover. This leaves only the 2" receiver visible which not only looks better it also helps with ground clearance.
I have attached a picture below so you can see what this hitch looks like once installed.

The Stabilizer Jacks # TJ01RT-HD are actually a universal fit so while they are typically used for travel trailers, there really is no reason why you shouldn't be able to install them on an enclosed trailer.
With that being said, I recommend reaching out to your trailer manufacturer to see what they recommend doing for this since you do have an aluminum trailer. Some aluminum trailers are just fine to bolt things to while other manufacturers don't recommend it. view full answer...
Yes, it will! The Titan Chain Low Profile Tire Chains item # TC1138 are confirmed to fit the 215/55-R18 tires on your 2014 Jeep Compass.
