  • Trailer Hitch and Towing Accessory Recommendations for a 2009 Jeep Patriot
  • In addition to he Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 75712 for your 2009 Jeep Patriot, you'd also need the ball mount, # 2923.You already have a 2 inch ball, so there is not much more you will need. You could also get a 1-7/8 diameter ball, # 19256, in case you tow something with a smaller coupler. You might also be interested in Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock, # e98879 to secure your accessories to the trailer hitch and deter theft. I also recommend trailer wiring.

  • Trailer Hitch Available for 2015 Jeep Patriot that Has Capacity for Carrying Motorcycle Carrier
  • The Draw Tite hitch for your 2015 Jeep Patriot part # 75712 does have a 525 lb tongue weight capacity which means that if you had exactly 525 lbs worth of weight on the hitch between the carrier and the motorcycle you would be fine but you might verify for sure that the weight does fall within the range of the hitch. You also will want to check the owners manual of the vehicle to determine what the towing capacities there are too. You need to stay under the lowest rated capacity in the setup.

  • Flat Towing Parts Recommendation for a 2016 Jeep Patriot Manual Transmission
  • For your 2016 Jeep Patriot manual transmission you will first need to start with a base plate kit. For that you would want the Roadmaster kit part # 521441-1 as it has been confirmed to fit your vehicle. Base plate kits are pretty easy for mechanics to install. Any qualified mechanic in your area with a good reputation would have no problem installing this. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat...

  • Recommended Ball Mount with at Least 10" Length from Hitch Pin Hole to Ball Mount Hole
  • The Buyers Products Double-Ball Hitch # 3371802215 is right round 7-3/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch balls, so it may not provide the clearance you're looking to achieve. For that reason you may want to have a look at the Draw-Tite Ball Mount # 40343, which has 10-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball mount hole. This ball mount has a 6000-lbs capacity and requires a hitch ball with a 1" shank diameter like the # 63845...

  • Does Thule Force XT Roof Cargo Box Fit on 2014 Jeep Patriot with Factory Crossbars
  • Yes, I checked with Thule and the Thule Force XT Roof Cargo Box part # TH6358B that you referenced is a confirmed fit for the factory crossbars of your 2014 Jeep Patriot. The maximum ski length in centimeters is 195 cm. This would easily carry your stroller that weighs 13 x 22.3 x 36 inches as well.

  • Could CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Work on Tri-Hull Boat
  • Centering a tri-hull boat is notoriously more difficult than a V- hull but with that said keel rollers are very universal in how they fit boat trailers and applications. Basically it comes down to the owner of the trailer looking at the trailer setup and determining what would fit it and the boat hull the best. The 8 inch long CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly # CE10453G is a really great option that would work well for you.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a Bike Rack on a 2017 Jeep Patriot
  • I recommend using the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98836 for your 2017 Jeep Patriot because it gives you a 2" hitch receiver which means you have access to a wider variety of accessories (like bike racks) plus it has a matte black finish which looks more rugged and actually hides dents and scratches from road debris much better than the classic glossy black finish that comes on other hitches. If you don't already have a bike rack then I recommend going with the Thule Camber # TH9058....

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch with Closed Crosstube Ends for 2016 Jeep Patriot
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12057 referenced in your question is indeed closed off at the ends of the cross tube by the mounting plates. The crosstube does not feature open ends like what you are seeing on the Draw-Tite # 75712 that you also referenced. If this is a concern for you, then the Curt # C12057 will be the better option. You may also consider going to a Class III with the Curt # C13081, which is also confirmed to fit your Jeep Patriot. A Class III hitch will not only...

  • Recessed D-Ring Tie Down Recommendation for a Trailer
  • The D-Ring part # RR06 has a 2,000 lb capacity. That is the only recessed mounted D-ring we carry that has a capacity between the # RR01C and the # RR05. I would recommend you go with more capacity that you need as opposed to less than you need.

  • Will Hollywood Racks Expedition Trunk Rack Fit 2015 Jeep Patriot for Carrying 2 Bikes
  • The Hollywood Racks Expedition 2 part # HRF6-2 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Jeep Patriot. It does not have any special weight capacities concerning the back door of your vehicle so as long as you stay under it's capacity of 35 lbs per bike this will work well. For a long road trip I would recommend stopping after driving through any rain and be sure to clean the mounting pads for the bike rack as well as the paint of the rack. This will help prevent scratching. If...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Jeep Patriot
  • For your 2017 Jeep Patriot, I highly recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98836 because it's super easy to install, offers a superior matte black powder coat finish to protect it from rust and corrosion, and its 4,000 lb tow rating is more than enough to safely tow your wave runner to and from the lake as often as you'd like. If you don't already have the rest of the towing components, I'll list my recommendations below: Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole...

  • Recommended Setup for Towing 2016 Kia Soul Behind a Class A Motorhome
  • The parts you'll need to tow your 2016 Kia Soul behind your Class A motorhome depend on whether you have a manual or automatic transmission. If you have an automatic transmission, you will need to use a tow dolly as models with an automatic transmission cannot be flat towed. I recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045. This is one of the best tow dollies on the market, with tons of great features like disc brakes and a folding design for easy storage. If you have a manual...

  • Can a 1-1/4 Inch Bike Rack be Used in a 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • You can still use your 1-1/4 inch bike rack with a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver. The first thing I would check is to see if there is an adapter sleeve or alternate shank that is designed specifically for your bike rack in order to use it in a 2 inch hitch. This would be the most ideal way to adapt the bike rack to fit the new hitch. If a specific adapter is not available, you can use a reducer sleeve to convert the 2 inch hitch to a 1-1/4 inch for times when you want to use the bike rack....

  • Recommended Wiring Harness For 2007 Jeep Patriot

This harness will install the same way by connecting to the factory wiring with easy connectors located behind the tail lights of your Patriot. This harness will also draw power directly from your vehicle battery to protect your electrical system from overload.

  • Class III 2 inch Hitch Recommendation for a 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
  • There is a Curt hitch that is Class III that has been confirmed to fit your 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. Check out the # C13079. I checked with Curt and they list this as a fit for the 2015 Outlander Sports. If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip,...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2016 Jeep Patriot Sport
  • For your 2016 Jeep Patriot Sport, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch # 75712. This Class III hitch is confirmed to fit your vehicle and will install using existing holes in the vehicle frame for a no-drill application. This will provide a 2 inch receiver opening and a towing weight capacity of 3,500 pounds. I recommend this over the Curt models also confirmed to work on your vehicle because unlike Curt, Draw-Tite does not require the use of stabilizing straps with...

  • Will Thule Hitching Post # TH934XTR Fit 2016 Jeep Patriot
  • The Thule Hitching Post # TH934XTR basically fits any vehicle with a 2 inch hitch installed. As long as your 2016 Jeep Patriot has a 2 inch hitch installed like the Draw Tite # 75712 this rack would fit and work well! If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video...

  • Battery Disconnect Switch for Use on Travel Trailer
  • You can use the Marine Battery Switch # 277-000403 for your application but since this item is not rated for outdoor use I recommend using a junction box like # 3375601100 to provide a degree of protection from moisture. The switch housing (not including the knob) is about 1-1/4-inches deep so you'd want to use hardware that is about 2-inches long. If space is available in your battery box you might be able to mount the switch there. In this case a better choice might be the Epicord Battery...

  • 2011 Jeep Patriot Sport Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation
  • For your 2011 Jeep Patriot you will first need to install a set of crossbars on the factory rails of your roof to allow a kayak carrier to install. The Rhino Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack, rack part numbers # RRVA118B-2 and # RRSX100 would be a great choice that would then allow you to install the Rhino Rack # S512 kayak carrier. This would be a great setup for carrying your kayak. I attached a coupler review videos for you to check out as well.
