  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2021 Jeep Compass
  • For your 2021 Jeep Compass I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13363 as it is the only hitch with a hidden crosstube meaning that once installed the only thing visible will be the receiver itself as shown in the included picture.

  • For trailer wiring for your 2008 Jeep Compass you'd want the Curt kit part # C55050 which is a confirmed fit.

  • Why Does Trailer Wiring for 2017 Jeep Compass Require Running Wire to Battery
  • Not all vehicles can handle the additional amperage draw of the trailer taillights on the vehicle taillight circuits. Those vehicles need setup that draws power from the battery. Some vehicles have higher rated circuits that can handle this, and others need to have the power drawn straight from the battery to protect the taillight circuits. For your Jeep Compass you need to install a harness that draws power from the battery to protect the taillight circuits. For that you would need the...

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2015 Jeep Compass
  • The 4-way connector that comes with the Tow Ready Wiring Harness part # 118539 that you referenced is the standard vehicle side 4-way. It sounds like someone wired up your trailer with the wrong 4-way. So your best option would be to replace it with a # 18004.

  • Will Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver 76144 Disable Hands Free Lift Gate On 2021 Jeep Compass
  • I reached out to my contact at Draw-Tite and they have not heard of any issues regarding the hands free lift gate sensor not working on a 2021 Jeep Compass with the Draw-Tite # 76144 installed. With that said typically a trailer hitch receiver will somewhat interfere with a hands free lift gate sensor, but not disable it. You would just need to place your foot on either side of the receiver and move it around a bit until you find the new sweet spot for the sensor. After a few times of...

  • Axle Solution for ATV Off Road Trailer for Great Ground Clearance
  • The STUB spindles are shorter spindles that we don't carry, but if you are looking for an axle setup that's great for off-road applications the Timbren Axle Less kits like the # ASR2KHDS03 is a really great way to go. This kit has a 4 inch lift built into it and combined with fact it doesn't have a cross tube that runs between the wheel assemblies it gives you really great ground clearance. It's a pretty unique setup but I attached a review video for more info on it for you to check out.

  • Can Thule Motion XT XL Cargo Box Fit Roof of 2018 Jeep Compass
  • The Thule Motion XT XL part # TH629707 can fit your 2018 Jeep Compass but you will need to install a set of crossbars first as your vehicle would have only came with flush side rails. So for a roof rack I recommend the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRCL4, and # RRRCP64-BK which is a fit for the fixed mounting points on your roof and gives you an easy to install roof rack that has aero shaped crossbars which minimizes wind noise. The Thule cargo box will fit this and work really...

  • 6 Ski Carrier Recommendation for 2015 Jeep Compass with Roof Raised Side Rails
  • I have a ski rack solution for you, but since Inno doesn't offer a roof rack fit kit that's designed to fit your 2015 Jeep Compass there isn't a way I can recommend the Dual Angle Ski Carrier part # INUK729 for your vehicle. A better option would be the Rhino Rack Ski Rack part # RR576 which can fit the same amount of skis/boards but also requires a roof rack to be installed. For that the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK254 would be a really great option....

  • We have numerous trunk mount bike racks that are listed as a fit for your 2014 Jeep Compass. I have included a link to them for you.
