Even though the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR and the Roadmaster Even Brake # RM-9400 are very similar systems I recommend using the Patriot II. It is easier to set up, uses less power so it will take much longer for this system to drain your battery, and it doesn't require the use of additional parts so that it is compatible with your vehicle. Attached are some videos that you can reference for the installation.

Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch brands are actually sister companies and the hitches themselves will be identical except for branding. Curt hitches are of similar high quality and all three brands use robotic welding technology for uniform, consistent manufacture. In terms of hitch quality there is no one brand that out-classes the others.
What you might consider in addition to price when making your choice is the hitch tongue weight (TW) capacity and the hitch's appearance. Curt hitch # C13182... view full answer...
The main difference between CURT Trailer Hitch C13075 and # C13065, is the cross tube. On C13075, it has a round tube and the receiver extends straight out from the side of the tube. This requires a bend in the cross tube which makes more of the hitch visible beneath the vehicle.
Hitch # C13065 has a square cross tube. The receiver is welded to the bottom of the square tube and this makes only the receiver visible beneath the rear of the vehicle. The rest of the hitch is hidden behind... view full answer...
The P2 part # 90885 and the P3 part # 90195 are both really great brake controllers that share many features and functions but I recommend the P3 over the P2 because it is overall easier to use, understand, and setup which will give you an overall better and less stressful towing experience.
The P3 has a display on it that uses full words which makes it much easier to know what's going on with it over other controllers like the P2 that will require you to decipher codes.

The Reese SC Weight Distribution System w Sway Control has been replaced with the Steadi-Flex # RP66558, and the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control - 6,000 lbs GTW, 600 lbs TW, # EQ37060ET, are both really nice weight distribution systems with sway control. There are only minor differences between them.
For weight distribution systems, you always want to look at the total tongue weight that includes the trailer tongue weight when fully loaded along with any... view full answer...
You are correct in that only the Rola GTX # 59967 (now discontinued) attaches to the railing and could be installed in varying spreads. The other racks attach to the factory fixed points that are in the railing which are separated by 32 inches on center. If you are wanting the absolute max spread capabilities the Rola wins in that regard.
That said the Rola bars tend to flex more than the other ones do so if rigidity is a priority the Rola loses in that category. The most rigid bar is... view full answer...
I recommend the Draw-Tite Hitch item # 75338. The Draw-Tite has a higher towing and tongue capacity than the Curt item # 13251. The Draw-Tite has a 7500 lbs GTW over 5000 lbs GTW for the Curt. The tongue weight being a difference of 750 lbs and 500 lbs respectfully.
The hitches have identical installation methods. They both require lowering the spare tire, removing a couple of pins holding on a piece of trim, installing 4 bolts through the rear bumper support, then reinstalling the trim... view full answer...
I have a solution for you, but no the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit item # e98950 is not confirmed to fit your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. However, the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit item # DM9519291 is confirmed to fit your vehicle. This is a comparable base plate kit with identical dimensions and capacity. I have linked an installation video.

The reason the Go Power Portable Solar Panel with Digital Solar Controller - 200 Watt Solar Panel # 34282610 has a 25 year limited warranty through the manufacturer because the tempered glass and aluminum construction is heavier duty and meant to last for a long time. That is also why it weighs so much.

The Draw-Tite Class III 2 Inch Hitch, part # 75338, and the Curt Class III 2 Inch Hitch, part # 13251, for your 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee are similar hitches. The installation is the same on both of them. I am including links to the instructions on both of the hitches and videos of both of the hitches being installed on a Jeep Grand Cherokee.
The main difference between the two hitches is the # 75338 will have a higher gross trailer weight capacity (GTW) and maximum tongue weight capacity... view full answer...
The Alpha 2 is indeed an updated version.
The difference between the original Blue Ox Alpha and the # BX7380 Alpha 2 tow bar is that the Alpha 2 has non-binding latches, while the original Alpha did not. Non-binding latches, are just that, they easily release even if the vehicle isn't on perfectly flat ground. So, if you find yourselves sometimes camping at sites that are a little on the primitive side, having the non-binding latches would certainly be a plus.

Both the Yakima OffGrid # Y07138 and the Thule Canyon XT # TH859XT roof baskets are compatible with round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars and both feature comparable weight capacities: 165 lbs for the OffGrid and 150 lbs for the Atlas. That being said, the quick installation and huge versatility make the Yakima OffGrid the clear choice.
When it comes to space, the Yakima OffGrid Roof Cargo Basket is 44 inches long by 40 inches wide but there is an 18 inch extension... view full answer...
Although the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 and Primus IQ # TK90160 electric brake controllers are very similar they do have some key differences as well. For one the P3 is designed to work with electric and electric over hydraulic brake systems. The Primus IQ will work with electric brakes. Also the Primus IQ will operate a maximum of 3 axles and the P3 will work with 4. The display on the P3 is more informational as opposed to only showing one feature at a time.

The main difference between the Blue Ox Patriot and the Roadmaster Even Brake systems is that the Roadmaster # RM-9400 uses compressed air to actuate the brakes in the towed vehicle, while the Blue Ox Patriot II uses an electrically-operated actuator to engage the brake pedal.
As a result the Blue Ox system uses less power (since it does not incorporate an air compressor) and is a bit simpler to install. The Even Brake can only be used with vehicles that have power brakes. Roadmaster suggests... view full answer...
The big difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13182 (confirmed to fit your 2013 and 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel models) and # C13065 is that the crossbar for the latter runs in a straight line whereas it has more of a rounded shape for the 13182.
When I spoke with my contact at Curt he said that the exhaust is in the way for the 13065 and that he believes the gas tank was in the way as well. Since the 13182 has a different design it will fit your vehicles.

The Roadmaster Sterling All Terrain Tow Bar part # RM-576 is just simply the newer, updated model of the discontinued Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar part RM-555. It sounds like you might be looking for replacement parts for one or the other so if that is the case, I would need the serial number off of your tow bar in order to confirm. I have however attached for you below a list of replacement parts but I would need your serial number in order to confirm these.

I would be happy to go over the recommended trailer brake controller for your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the # ETBC7 installed.
Starting with an economical option I recommend the Tekonsha PowerTrac Electronic Brake Controller - 1 to 2 Axles - Time Delayed # 39523 which is a time delayed controller meaning that the brakes are applied to your trailer a set amount of time and with a set amount of intensity when the brakes of your vehicle applied.

The Curt 13507 was phased out and replaced with the Curt # C96NR (13525). Curt updated the design which also allows it to fit the Grand Cherokee L. They also updated the mounting hardware. For your 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee WL Altitude you want to use the latest hitch so that means the # C96NR.
If you need the hitch for towing you will also want the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C27BR. This will provide you with a 4-way to power your trailer's signal lights. If you also need... view full answer...
I can see how this might be a confusing choice of words. I've seen instances where people have used both a weight distribution hitch with sway control AND the Curt True Course in order to create a "super" sway control system to keep their trailer in line behind their tow vehicle. With that being said, which one you choose typically comes down to whether or not you really need a weight distribution system or can get away with simply having sway control.
