Expert Answers about Jeep Grand Cherokee


  • Flat Towing A Jeep Wrangler Behind A Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • As long as your vehicle's towing capacity is not exceeded by the toad vehicle you should be fine. I recommend using something like Curt Tow Bar with Adjustable-Width Arms - Car Mount # C19745, which is a coupler style tow bar that connects to a 2" hitch ball. The arms on # C19745 are adjustable from 26" to 41", and has a capacity of 5,000 pounds. Additionally, If you need the rest of the components for flat towing, they are a tow bar, base plate kit, safety cables, tow bar wiring, a...

  • Does T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness Have Any Draw on 2003 Grand Cherokee When Vehicle is Turned Off
  • The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C55369 should only be drawing power when you have a trailer connected to your 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee and you're actively using the light functions. If there is any kind of residual draw on your battery it would be minimal at best - definitely not enough to make any difference to your battery unless something is broken in your wiring setup.

  • Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System For 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • The reviews we have received from our customers about the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System, part # RM-8700 all share the same theme. The only complaint is that is not a really easy installation. But everyone agrees it is worth the effort to do a one time install and not have to worry about resetting the unit every time it is going to be used.

  • Is 4-Pole Flat Adapter Available for Blue Ox BLU86XR
  • We don't offer an adapter that would work with the Blue Ox # BLU86XR, you'd need to cut off the existing 4-pole flat connector and wire it to a 6 pole socket like # RM-910030-7. If you wanted a charge line to the battery of the towed vehicle, you'll need a charge line kit like # RM-156-25 to keep the battery topped off while towing. Even with a charge line installed, it's still recommended that the towed vehicle be started for a few minutes each time you stop.

  • Can An A-Frame Trailer Jack Be Wired To The 7-Pole Cable
  • Yes, it is possible to wire your Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-3555 into the 7-way. There isn't much room inside of the 7-pole plug so the easiest way to power your jack from the 7-pole would be to wire it to the 12v power in your trailer's junction box. If you follow the 7-way cable along the frame of the trailer you'll see some sort of box where the wires from the cable will run and connect to the wires for your trailer's lighting and brakes. A lot of the trailers that...

  • Do I need a Bike Adapter Bar to Mount a Womens or Childrens Bike on a Yakima King Joe Bike Rack
  • It is highly recommended to use a bike adapter bar if you are carrying any women's, children's or alternative framed bikes without the top horizontal cross tube. This is because most bike racks, like the Yakima HangOut 3 # Y02638, use the horizontal cross tube to mount the bikes to the bike rack. When a horizontal cross tube dips down, like with a women's bike, or is very short, like on a children's bike, mounting bikes to a bike rack can be difficult. Using a bike adapter bar will not...

  • Will The Tekonsha Prodigy RF Trailer Brakes Pulse When Using The Turn Signals and Stopping?
  • I spoke to Tekonsha about their Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller w/ Bluetooth # TK94FR and they explained in detail how the controller interprets the brake signal. It is looking at the power input from both the turn signal/brake light wires. The reason it will pulse the brakes on the hazard lights and not the turn signal is it sees power starting and stopping at the same time with hazard lights. When you press the brakes it also sees power on both circuits starting and stopping...

  • The etrailer Tongue Weight Scale for Campers and Utility Trailers - 2,000-lb Capacity # e99044 only comes in the 2,000 pound variety and it goes up and down in 50 pound increments with an analog display.

  • Do All Hitch Receivers for 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Include Wiring Harness Bracket
  • The Draw-Tite Class III hitch receiver for the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland that you referenced, part # 75699, does include a convenient trailer wiring bracket mounting plate. This feature is not universally offered on all OEM or after-market hitches. On this hitch you can use a 7-way bracket such as Draw-Tite # 18138, which includes hardware. For instances where other hitches without this feature are used, we offer a variety of brackets for 4-pole and other types of trailer connector...

  • Calculating Weight Distribution Tongue Weight and Trailer Weight Capacities
  • The weight of the Trunnion Spring Bar # FA92-02-0699(13lbs) does need to be considered for the over weight of the trailer and maximum payload but is not used in the calculation of the tongue weight rating for the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0600. So if your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee is only capable of towing 6,000lbs the weight of the Fastway e2(94lbs) does need to be considered as additional weight for the trailer as it is weight placed into the receiver. The weight does not...

  • How Can I Avoid Clearance Issues With a T@B Nucamp 400 Tear Trailer and a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • I may have a solution to the potential clearance issue with your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the T@B Nucamp 400 Tear Trailer. The solution is an extended ball like the Brophy Ball Mount - 3" Rise, 4" Drop - 14-5/8" Long - Aluminum - 8,000 lbs # EA40. An extended ball mount will give you extra room between your vehicle and trailer. I have attached a link to the extended ball mounts that we offer. You will need a pin to attach the ball mount to your hitch, I recommend the Anti-Rattle Trailer...

  • Does Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System Have Friction Coating
  • The Fastway systems, such as your Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA94-00-0800 does not actually have any type of friction coating like some other systems. It is purely steel-on-steel aside from the initial paint. There isn't a spray paint or any type of paint that is going to refresh the system, as the metal-on-metal is perfectly normal. It may look different, but the system itself is going to perform exactly the same as before. If there is a lot of noise be sure to use the Equal-i-zer...

  • Recommended Brake Controller for a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee With Factory Tow Package
  • From what I could find, the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee did not come with a factory brake controller. However, you do have a factory port for an aftermarket controller to plug directly in to. The Tekonsha Primus IQ # TK90160 paired with the plug and play harness # TK93VR will be the ones I suggest. This is a very easy controller to set up and use, and can handle trailers with up to 3 axles that have brakes. The harness will also plug directly into a port under the dash. I included a video...
