Expert Answers about Jeep Renegade


  • Adding a 7-Way Trailer Connector and Brake Controller to a 2015 jeep Renegade
  • The 4- to 7-Way adapter # 37185 is not vehicle specific. Your 2015 Jeep Renegade would just have to have a 4-Way flat trailer connector already to plug into the adapter. If it doesn't then I recommend # 118651. To add the 7-Way and wire in a brake controller I actually recommend # ETBC7. This comes with the same adapter, 37185, as well as the additional wiring and other parts needed to hardwire in a brake controller. For a brake controller I recommend the P2 # 90885 because it is easy...

  • Trailer Hitch and Cargo Carrier Recommendations for a 2015 Jeep Renegade
  • Since you want a trailer hitch mainly for a cargo carrier I recommend a Class III with a 2 inch receiver. The 2 inch trailer hitches are built more stout and thus have a higher capacity and more accessory options than smaller Class II and Class I hitches. For your 2015 Jeep Renegade I recommend Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 76021 for that exact reason. This hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 675 pounds. Tongue weight is the amount of weight pushing down on the hitch receiver. This is the...

  • Recommended Lighting Kit for CarPod Walled Folding Cargo Carrier
  • For the 24x48-3/4 Carpod Walled, Folding Cargo Carrier # M2205-01-02 there is not a specific light kit available, but one can easily be added for safety. I recommend kit # 52014 which has round LED lights. These can easily be adapted for mounting on your Carpod.

  • Recommended Bike Carrier and Cargo Carrier Compatibility with Draw-Tite Hitch on 2016 Jeep Renegade
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76021 is rated for tongue weights up to 675 lbs, but you will want to make sure you consult your owner's manual as that hitch will most likely be rated higher than your manufacturer's specifications and you will be limited by the frame it is attached to. For your application you can use the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Platform 2 Bike Rack w/Cargo Carrier # HR1450Z-85 which does not require the separate dual hitch adapter. It will...

  • Least Visible 2 inch Hitch for 2018 Jeep Renegade for Carrying Bike Rack
  • The most hidden hitch we have for your 2018 Jeep Renegade is the 2 inch Draw Tite part # 76021 which will work great with your Thule T2 Pro XTR bike rack part # TH96VR. This hitch is the most recessed under the rear bumper option we have which gets it out of plain sight as much as possible.

  • Why Does Power Wire of Trailer Wiring for 2017 Jeep Renegade Have to Run to Battery
  • The reason you want to run the power wire all the way up to battery is so that you bypass all of the delicate wiring of your vehicle. The power wire is required on trailer wiring harnesses for some vehicles because the electrical system on those vehicles cannot handle the amperage draw associated with trailer lights. Powering the converter box with a power source that doesn't come from the battery would defeat this safety feature and would open the vehicle's wiring up to damage in the event...

  • Carriers for Axes, Shovels, and Other Tools for a Thule AeroBlade Roof Rack
  • The bolts included in the Thule Xadapt8 adapter # XADAPT8 do fit the T-slot that is in the tops of the AeroBlade bars. The only question that remains is what are you going to thread them into to hold your various accessories? You might instead consider Rhino-Rack accessory holders # RRRMPHU. They are T-slot mount or will clamp around roof rack crossbars. They are versatile making them a solid option for you. I have linked a video review for you.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver With The Most Ground Clearance For 2019 Jeep Renegade
  • I have an option that you mentioned you weren't looking for, but there is not a trailer hitch receiver that mounts through the rear bumper of your 2019 Jeep Renegade Sport. Instead I recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4" # 36587 as measures 12" from the ground to the top inside edge of the receiver tube which is the highest ground clearance out of all of the options for your Jeep. This hitch has a 300lb tongue weight rating and 3500lb trailer...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2017 Jeep Renegade
  • For your 2017 Jeep Renegade, I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13269. In my experience, Curt does a slightly nicer job on their finish, which means that the hitch will be better protected from the elements on a long-term basis. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll need a trailer wiring harness like # 118651, a ball mount like part # D-28 and a trailer ball like # 19260 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch. You'll also need a hitch pin like part # PC3. I've linked to...

  • Best Hitch for Ground Clearance for Carrying Bike Rack on a 2015 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk
  • From a ground clearance point of view a 1-1/4 inch hitch is going to be best for your 2015 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk since it is a smaller hitch opening. For that the Draw Tite hitch # 36587 will be the best option as the Curt requires the use of a stabilizer strap when carrying a bike rack and the Hidden Hitch comes with a ball mount you don't need.

  • Is Upgraded Circuit Protected Tail Light Converter Hardwire Kit # 119178KIT Weatherproof
  • The converter box of the # 119178KIT is totally sealed. It would not have any issues out in the weather installed on your trailer. I wouldn't recommend submerging it in water at any point but it would be perfectly weather resistant for your application.

  • Can I Use a Smaller then Recommended Pioneer Platform Rack on my 2018 Jeep Renegade
  • On your 2018 Jeep Renegade I highly suggest staying with the recommended Pioneer Platform. They have specifically designated the Rhino-Rack Pioneer SX Platform Rack part # JA9134 as the perfect fit for your vehicle. There is a smaller option available for your Renegade which is the Rhino-Rack Universal Pioneer Platform Rack 58" Long x 47" Wide part # RR42115BF. This will require the Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Roof Rack System part # RRVA126B-2 and part # RRSX100. These are linked for you...

  • 2016 Jeep Renegade Trailer Hitch Recommendations
  • I can definitely help you out with a trailer hitch for your 2016 Jeep Renegade but when it comes to adding tow hooks I would have to defer to a dealership since we don't carry or install those. From what I can see it does look like the rear tow hook sticks through the bumper and some OEM hitches will fit through the bumper as well which is likely why you are getting that response. For a trailer hitch we have 2 options and it all just depends on what you're looking to get out of a trailer...

  • How To Convert a 4-Way On a 2017 Jeep Renegade To 7-Way for Trailer with Brakes
  • In order to convert a 4-way on a 2017 Jeep Renegade so you can tow a trailer with a 7-way way that has electric brakes you will only need a few things, a 4 to 7-way adapter and a brake controller. I have two great options for the adapter and brake controller but I highly recommend going the wireless route. The wireless route only requires very minimal installation and far less modifications to the vehicle which is why I recommend this option though it will set you back a bit more than the...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2015 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk 4WD
  • Once installed the receiver for trailer hitch # 76021 will be directly below the rear fascia, see picture. If you measure from the ground to the bottom of the fascia and then subtract 2-1/2 inches, that is the approximate location the bottom of the receiver will be. 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...

  • Roof Rack and Canoe Carrier Recommendation for a 2016 Jeep Renegade
  • I really like the Thule Aeroblade Edge roof racks like the part # TH7503B-TH7503B which is a fit for your 2016 Jeep Renegade. These low profile bars offer an OEM look and offer the least amount of wind resistance due to their aerodynamic shape and lower profile. What also helps this is the fact that the bars do not extend past the feet of the rack. Then for a canoe carrier the Thule Portage part # TH819 is a great way to carry the canoe with it facing down. This also comes with straps...

  • Bike Rack for 2 Heavy Electric Mountian Bikes on 2015 Jeep Renegade
  • If your vehicle has a 2" hitch receiver, the Kuat # BA22B 2-bike platform rack is an excellent choice to hold two bikes weighing up to 60 pounds each even if they have fat tires up to 4.8" wide. It also includes a hitch lock and cable bike lock at no additional charge. I noticed you are from Nice, France. Please be aware that we only ship to United States addresses. If you wish to have these at your France location you would need to have a friend in the US purchase them and ship them...

  • Great Priced SUP Carrier and Roof Rack Recommendation for 2015 Jeep Renegade
  • For transporting two SUPs the Thule SUP Shuttle Stand-Up Paddleboard Carrier with Tie-Downs # TH811XT is a really great option that that can carry two SUPs and also doesn't break the bank. Your 2015 Jeep Renegade Limited Edition would have raised side rails on the roof so for a roof rack to fit this setup you would want the Malone AirFlow2 kit part # MPG216 which is a confirmed fit and is very quiet due to the aero shape of the bars.

  • Rhino Roof Rack and Cargo Basket that Fits 2017 Jeep Renegade with Raised Rails
  • The correct Rhino Rack roof rack components for the 2017 Jeep Renegade with raised rails is part number # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX100. This would work great with the Rhino Rack Cargo Basket part # RMCB which I believe you are looking at as well.
