Expert Answers about Jeep Compass


  • Will Trailer Hitch Receiver Interfere With The Liftgate Sensors On A 2022 Jeep Compass
  • The Trailer Hitch Receiver # e48AR does not have a tech note stating that it will so you shouldn't have any interference. That being said the hitches that do interfere with the hands free liftgate sensors really only block just the portion of the sensor where the receiver tube sits so it wouldn't be that large of blockage.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and 4-Way Vehicle Wiring Harness For a 2024 Jeep Compass
  • I recommend using our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e48AR on your 2024 Jeep Compass. Our receiver has a matte black finish and a hidden cross tube which provides for a clean factory appearance. It also comes with a 2" opening which allows for a larger selection of hitch mounted accessories and ball mounts. You will want to install the Curt Wiring Harness # C59496 when you install the receiver. This will provide you with a 4-way flat connector which is the most common connector found...

  • Can The 2016 Jeep Compass Latitude FWD Be Flat Towed
  • Yes, the 2016 Jeep Compass can be flat towed as long as it has a manual transmission. If it has an automatic transmission then you would need to dolly tow it with the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly w/ Disc Brakes # DM9713093. For a manual transmission you would need the following components: Baseplate: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1132. Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # e47ZR. This tow bar comes with safety cables included so that you don't have to purchase...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation For 2020 Jeep Compass For Towing Trailer
  • I recommend the Class III Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76144 for the 2020 Jeep Compass because it has a 4,500 lb towing capacity. You will need to check the owner's manual to make sure you can tow that much weight because the towing capacity is based off of if the Jeep has a towing package or not according to my research. The installation does not require drilling but the access holes in the frame for the hardware may need to be filed out. I have attached an installation...

  • Fit of Thule Passage Trunk Mounted 3 Bike Rack # TH911XT on 2007 Jeep Compass Limited
  • The Thule Passage, part # TH911XT is a bargain-priced rack that is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. The rack includes what I believe are crucial components for a bike rack, like durable rubber straps to secure the bikes to the rack and anti-sway cradles that will prevent the bikes from swinging back and forth and hitting each other or the vehicle. To carry womens bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # 64005 is recommended....

  • Will the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2011 Jeep Compass
  • Yes, the Thule OutWay 2-bike rack, # TH45JV, will fit your 2011 Jeep Compass. I think you will really like this bike rack. I recently purchased the 3 bike version, # TH56BV. The rack is very easy to install because of the 2 retractable cables. The anti-sway cradles work quite well and it held my mountain bike firmly with no movement. My wife has a traditional women's frame bicycle and my eldest sons bike has a tall frame that is not round. If you have any bikes like these I do recommend...

  • Will the Curt Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2015 Jeep Compass Kill the Battery With Trailer Unplugged
  • The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56344 which is a confirmed fit for a 2015 Jeep Compass is an excellent option to power a set of trailer lights providing the most basic trailer lighting functions. The converter box will need to be powered via the vehicle's battery to minimize strain on the vehicle's tail light circuits. In regards to amp draw, there will be none without a trailer plugged in so you don't have to worry about draining the battery or unhooking the wiring...

  • Thule Roof Racks that Fits 2018 Jeep Compass
  • I found the video you referenced and in it our installer is installing the Thule Wingbar Evo part numbers # TH711220, # TH460R, and # THKIT3164 which is not a flush bar setup. Flush bar racks install where the bar does not extend past the feet and in that video the bars go past the feet. If you did want a flush bar rack for your 2018 Compass the parts you'd need instead are # TH96FE, # TH89SC, and # TH66GC. At this time we don't have any pictures or videos of this rack installed on a...

  • Fit of Advantage Roof Cargo Bag on 2012 Jeep Compass
  • The Advantage Cargo Bag you referenced, part # HE3021 can be used on the roof of your Compass, and would be able to attach to the side roof rails, providing that they are actually rails that offer tie down points, and not merely flush mounted tracks in the roof. A flush mounted rail would not offer a secure place to attach the bag. The bag is 38 inches wide, so you will need to have at least 38 inches of available space between the side rails on your roof. If the rails you mention are...

  • Flat Towing Components Needed for 2017 Jeep Compass 4x4 with Manual Transmission
  • To answer your first question, according to Roadmaster, you won't actually require any additional wiring kit since your 2017 Jeep Compass will not run down the battery when being flat towed. I know this was a common issue for some Jeep Cherokees manufactured around the same time, but this won't effect your Compass. With that being said, if you want to add the charge line kit, you can do so with the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Vehicles # RM-156-25 As far as tow bars go, the Roadmaster...

  • What Landing Pads Fit My 2016 Jeep Compass with Flush Factory Rails?
  • I have a Landing Pad solution for you. Unfortunately, when the Landing Pad 20 # Y00246 says "Not confirmed to fit" your 2016 Jeep compass, that means that we have tested it with all the available configurations and it will not fit. However, the correct landing pads you need for a Yakima crossbar system on your 2016 Jeep Compass with flush factory rails is the Landing Pad 19 for Yakima Skyline Towers # Y00245. Although these landing pads will fit your vehicle, the towers that go along...

  • How To Determine The Correct Replacement Hub/Drum Assemblies For A 1960's Airstream Trailer
  • Since we don't have the info on your Hadco hub/drum assemblies I would pull one and measure the spindle to ensure that we're getting the correct fit. You'll need to use a set of calipers # PTW80157 to precisely measure the journals of your spindle at points B, C, and D to get your grease seal and bearing inner diameters. Once we have these measurements I'd just need to know the bolt pattern for your wheels and then I'd be happy to help find the correct replacement hub/drum assemblies...

  • Will the Thule Gateway Pro Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2013 Jeep Compass
  • Yes, the Thule Gateway Pro 3, # TH78VR, is listed as a fit for your 2013 Jeep Compass. We have several trunk mount bike racks that are listed as a fit for your vehicle. I have included a link to the options for you. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical mens bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # TH982XT. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have...
