Expert Answers about Jeep Grand Cherokee


  • Roof Rack for 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee with All Black Flush Mounted Side Rails
  • I do have a solution for you, however the Rola Sport GTX Series Roof Rack referenced in your question will not fit the all black flush mount rails on your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. This is because this particular system and many others for your Jeep are only designed to mount to the channel that is present along the chrome section of the side rails that are on the Grand Cherokee that is equipped with the "E Group" package. I have attached an image to clarify this. Since your rails are...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8
  • The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee is the custom fit Draw Tite part # 75699 because it has a 2 inch hitch opening with plenty of towing capacity, has a concealed crosstube which makes it less visible, and has a bracket for mounting trailer wiring. I attached an install video and picture of this hitch for you to check out as well. You'll also need trailer wiring to activate the lights of the trailer. For that you'd want the part # 118727 because it installs...

  • Can Diode Tow Bar Wiring Install on Vehicle with T-One Trailer Wiring
  • Since the Tekonsha trailer wiring kit part # 118727 installs between the taillight connector and the factory wiring you'd install your diode kit tow bar wiring like part # RM-152 on the factory taillight wiring and it would not interfere with operation of the trailer wiring.

  • Tire Chain Recommendation for 255/60-20 Tires on 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • According to Konig, there isn't a K-Summit chain available that's compatible with your 255/60-20 tire size. We do offer chains that will fit that tire size, but nothing that offers rim protection. The easiest to install chains would be a cam-tensioner style chain like the Titan Chain # TC2228CAM. Even though the chains offer integrated cams to tighten them, I'd still recommend using a tensioner like part # TCMA2 to keep the chains tight to the tire. What I've seen folks do in the past...

  • Recommended Base Plates and Flat Tow Parts for 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk
  • Many of our base plates exclude the new Trackhawk model, but they will fit the Trailhawk. The only issue with the tow hooks on your Trailhawk model is that they will have to be removed to install the base plates. For your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk edition, I recommend installing the Roadmaster Direct-connect Base Plate Kit, # RM-521440-5. We've confirmed that these will fit the Trailhawk model, you will just have to remove the tow hooks, which will be the case for any base plate...

  • Recommended Roof Basket for Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty Crossbars
  • With Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty Crossbars the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 49" x 40" x 6" - 150 lbs # TH859XT is my recommendation. The roof basket will attach to the top channel of the crossbars. It comes with the T-bolts that are required to mount the basket to the crossbars.

  • 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Flat Tow Package
  • Oh we got what you need! I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1123 paired with the Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 10,000 lbs # BX7420. Next you will need the Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 7-Wire to 6-Wire Straight Cord # RM-152-98146-7. This will sync your lights. Next the Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System w/ Wireless Coachlink Monitor - Proportional # DM86VR. This will keep you safe...

  • Hitch Cargo Carrier Recommendation for 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee for Best Ground Clearance
  • The Cargo Carrier, part # C18152, has a rise of 2-1/2 inches which is the highest we offer. Since ground clearance is a concern this would be our best option. We don't have any rod holders though for attaching them to the carrier though. Check out the review video I attached for more info as well.

  • Recommended Towing Components for 2018 Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x2 V6 for Towing Capacity
  • For your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with 3.6L V6 4x2, the towing capacity is 3,500 lbs according to the manufacturer. If you don't already have the hitch, wiring, and ball mount for towing, I recommend the following: For your trailer hitch receiver I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Class III - 2" # C13182 which is the best for towing and the easiest installation. It also is made in the USA. Then for your trailer wiring, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness...

  • Recommended Towing Mirrors For 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • I have another option for you, but the Original Custom Towing Mirror Custom Slide On Mirrors # CTM3400A you were looking at are designed for a 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and will not fit your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee. At this time there is not a custom fit option for your Jeep, so instead I recommend going with the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors - Clip On # KS3891-2 due to the ratcheting system that holds the tow mirrors snugly to your mirrors to eliminate vibration, but also due...

  • Low Clearance Snow Chain Recommendation for 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Tire Size 265/50-20
  • Yes, the Konig K-Summit tire chains part # TH02230K77 that you referenced are a confirmed fit for the tire size 265/50-20 you have on your 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee. These chains are really great for limited clearance situations as they do not go over the inside shoulder of the tire. They also install really easily too. Check out the install video I attached for more info on this as well.

  • Recommended Trailer Brake Controller for 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee with Factory 7-Way
  • The Tekonsha Prodigy Series trailer brake controllers, the P2 # 90885 and the similar P3 # 90195, are both excellent quality controllers with a proven track record of reliability. I recommend the P3 # 90195 over the P2 because it has a much nicer display that is easier to read and because it allows you to store specific braking power settings so you can call them up at any time without having to re-set the power and boost controls. The few more dollars spent will give you a better-performing...

  • I would be happy make a suggestion for base plates confirmed to fit your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit that is compatible with the Curt Rambler Steel Tow Bar # C26FR you mentioned. I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1128 as it is a confirmed fit for your Jeep, and is also the only base plates offered for your vehicle that are compatible with the Curt # C26FR you mentioned. Since the Curt # C26FR includes safety cables you will not need to purchase them separately. To complete...

  • How to Pick Out Trailer Wiring for 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • Sounds like you are trying to determine if your 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee has the factory tow package so you can pick out the correct trailer wiring harness. Easiest way to tell would be to check to see if the vehicle has a factory trailer hitch and wiring installed on it currently. If so, then you'd have the tow package and the kit you'd want is the # 118381 which would plug inline with the 7-way you have to give you a 4-way. If instead you do not have either a hitch or wiring, you'd need...

  • Tire Chains for a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 265/50-20 Tires
  • The Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains part # TH01594267 are absolutely correct for your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 265/50-20 tires and are the only ones you can use according to the owner's manual. The Konig tire chains were previously until just last year distributed under the Thule brand but have since been dropped and are now distributed under the Konig brand. They are the exact same tire chain and the one your owner's manual is referring to. There are certainly situations...

  • Best Trailer Hitch for 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel Model
  • You are correct that the diesel model of 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee does have specific trailer hitches that fit. The best trailer hitch for your '19 Grand Cherokee diesel is the Draw-Tite # 75713 because it has the highest capacity at 900 lbs of tongue weight along with 6,000 lbs for towing, which speaks to its strength and durability; in fact the hitch is so durable that it comes with a lifetime warranty. This Class III hitch with a 2" receiver is also a complete bolt-on installation that...

  • Recommended Water Tight Cargo Box for 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • I do have some great cargo box options for a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee but cargo boxes are not waterproof as this requires special testing and ratings cargo box manufactures simply don't design around. In order for a company to state a product is waterproof there are very stringent rules and guidelines. That said, most will do a great job of keeping out water as they do have seals built-in all the way around. The Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box part # TH615 is a great option with locks...

  • Recommended Rooftop Cargo Bag for a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • The Rightline Range 2 Rooftop Cargo Bag part # RL100R20 will be the perfect option for a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It secures to the vehicle using car clips which are sandwiched between the door and roof. This will then provide you with up to 15 cu. ft. of space to haul your gear. The entire bag is water resistant so you don't have to worry about the items inside getting wet from rain or snow. There are flaps under the zipper and a double seals around all the seam to keep out water. The...

  • Can a 4-Way to 7-Way Adapter be Used to Install a Combined 4/7-Way Trailer Connector
  • Using a 4-Way to 7-Way adapter such as # 37185 to install # HM40975 would create extra work and parts that you would not need. What I recommend is to use harness # PK11998. It will plug into the back of connector # HM40975 and then you just hardwire the wires. Harness # PK11998 has the following wire colors and functions: Red - Left Turn and Stop White - Ground Blue - Electric Brakes Green - Right Turn and Stop Black - Battery Brown - Running Lamps Yellow - Backup Lamps For the 12 volt...
