Expert Answers about Jeep Liberty


  • Roadmaster Base Plates for a Sterling Tow Bar and a 2011 Jeep Liberty
  • The first thing you are going to want to do is consult the owners manual of your 2011 Jeep Liberty to determine if it can be flat towed or if anything additional is needed to tow the vehicle. From the research I did, all wheel drive models with automatic transmissions and models with 2 wheel drive and a 6 or 5 speed can only be towed on a trailer. Two wheel drive models with automatic transmission will require a transmission lube pump. And 4 wheel drive models with automatic transmission...

  • Parts Needed for Towing a Trailer With Brakes for a 2005 Jeep Liberty Limited
  • You will need wiring and a brake controller in order to tow a trailer with brakes. If your Jeep Liberty does not already have a 4 way connector on it, you'll need to start by adding that with the Tekonsha # 118524. I recommend using the Tekonsha over the other available harnesses because we've found that the converter boxes are a bit more reliable over time, so it's a great choice. Once you've added your 4 way you'll need to install a 7 way connector with the # ETBC7, which will allow you...

  • Cost-Effective Sway Control Solutions for a Lightweight Utility Trailer
  • If your utility trailer has brakes then the most cost-effective solution for you is the Curt Electronic Sway Control System # C94VV. This installs on your trailer and then you plug this into your vehicle 7-Way (the trailer 7-Way plugs into the Curt) and then this will use the brakes to correct sway. If your utility trailer doesn't have brakes then you need to install the Fastway e2 # FA94-00-0600 which is rated for a loaded trailer tongue weight of 400 lbs - 600 lbs. You'll also need...

  • Base Plate Kit Needed to Flat Tow a 2002 Jeep Liberty with a Curt Tow Bar
  • To use a Curt tow bar, like part # C19745 to flat tow your 2002 Jeep Liberty you will need to install the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1119 and then use the Adapter Kit # BX8833. The Blue Ox base plate kit has removable arms that help gives your Jeep an OEM look when you aren't flat towing. If you will be doing a lot of towns then I recommending using the Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 if your motorhome has a 7-Way or the Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154 if your motorhome has a 4-Way....

  • When determining if you will need the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit, # RM-88400, on your 2011 Jeep Liberty, there a few factors that must be considered. If you plan to use a supplemental braking system that depresses the brake pedal, if your towed vehicle's brake light and turn signal light are on the same bulb, and if you brake lights illuminate when pressing the brake pedal when the ignition is off, then you will need to install the # RM-88400 brake relay. The relay prevents your...

  • Will the Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller Work to Tow a Jeep Liberty with a Class C Motorhome?
  • I have exactly what you need, but unfortunately a trailer brake controller will not work in a flat towing situation. Instead you will need a supplemental braking system. I attached our help article that will give you a comprehensive overview of supplemental braking systems, but if I may make a recommendation, I'd look at either the Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO, # SM99251, or the Roadmaster Even Brake, # RM-9400. The Stay-IN-Play DUO, # SM99251, is installed on the tow vehicle and you never...

  • Do I Need a Powered Modulite for a 2007 Jeep Liberty and What Part Would I Use
  • For your 2007 Jeep Liberty, there are a couple of trailer wiring options. If the Liberty did not come with a tow package, you will need T-One Connector w/Upgraded Circuit Protected ModuLite, # 118524. A powered converter is required to protect the vehicle sensitive electronics on models not equipped with a tow package. If your Liberty did come with a factory tow package, you would need Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118381. A Liberty with a tow package has a wiring harness made...

  • Easy-Install 4-Pole Trailer Wiring Harness for Towing with 2004 Jeep Liberty
  • Small utility trailers sometimes do not have lights and towing one of these naturally does not require the vehicle to have a trailer wiring harness, but larger trailers that are legally required to have lights will need the tow vehicle to have the appropriate type of wiring harness. Lighting requirements vary by trailer size and weight, and also by state; the linked article will help illustrate. It is easy to add a 4-pole wiring harness such as the USA-made Curt # C55382 that will provide...

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Crossbars for a 2009 Jeep Liberty
  • The heaviest rated crossbars and platform for your 2009 Jeep Liberty is going to depend on your vehicle. You'll want to abide by the maximum weight capacity of your Jeep's roof before anything else because you're only as strong as your weakest link. So if your Jeep has a 165-lbs roof weight capacity, then that's your max; so you're going to need to figure that out first. For a large roof rack and platform rack I recommend going with the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 ...

  • Flat Tow Set up for 2010 Jeep Liberty
  • While we can get you the flat towing set up you need for your 2010 Jeep Liberty, there really just is no way to determine what tow bar you have without some type of identifier, and base plates only fit specific tow bars that are either from the same manufacturer or that use adapters. So while I know it's not the answer you are looking for, what it means is you are going to need a new tow bar, which we do carry, along with everything else you need to flat tow your 2010 Jeep Liberty. The...

  • How Level Should a Tow Bar be to Flat Tow a 2008 Jeep Liberty
  • When flat towing a vehicle behind a motorhome you want the tow bar to bewithin 3 inches of perfectly level. We call this the "safe zone" for flat towing. I've linked a help article for you. In order to help you get your setup level you may need a high-low adapter. I've also linked our selection of adapters for you to look at so you can choose the correct rise or drop you need to safely tow your 2008 Jeep Liberty. Another thing to check before attempting to tow the Jeep is the owner's...

  • Which Trailer Connector Will Fit T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness 118554 on a 2010 Jeep Liberty
  • Once the 118554 harness is connected to your 2010 Jeep Liberty it will connect to any trailer with a flat four pole harness. If you need a flat four pole harness for your trailer we do have one available. You could use part # 18044 and cut off the vehicle side connector since you do not need it and attach the other end to the wires on the trailer. If your trailer has a different style connector, like a 5/6/7-Way connector, let us know and we can find you the other parts you would need.

  • Is a Breakaway Kit Needed when Flat Towing a 2006 Jeep Liberty Behind an RV
  • Nearly all supplemental braking systems have a breakaway system built in so you would not have to have a separate one. Supplemental braking is required in most states anyway so on the systems that come with a breakaway you are killing two birds with one stone so to speak. The braking system I recommend the most is the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251. Once installed you won't have to worry about it again. It does come with a breakaway kit as well. I have linked a video showing an example...

  • How to Tell if a 2012 Jeep Liberty Can Safely Tow a Small U-Haul Trailer
  • I'd be more than happy to help out! The best places to find all of our towing information will be in the owner's manual for your 2012 Jeep Liberty as well as the trailer manual and/or the website (which in your case is U-Haul). According to the U-Haul specs the 6 x 12 trailer weighs 1,920 lbs when empty - this means this is the weight when you'll go to pick it up. The trailer has a max load of 2,480 lbs which means you can load cargo up in the trailer up to this weight. Finally we have...
