Expert Answers about Jeep Grand Cherokee


  • Tow Bar Wiring Kit Needed For Flat Towing A 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit
  • The brake light switch wire for your 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit isn't useable so you wouldn't be able to install a brake light relay kit any way. In cases like this the turn signal will override the brake signal until the computer inside the Jeep "goes to sleep" after about 20 minutes. The general guideline is to just get all hooked up and running and let it idle for 20 minutes but gas isn't cheap so most people just take off and let it go to sleep while already towing. Since you...

  • Recommended Flat Towing Set Up for a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • The Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit item # DM9519291 you were looking at comes with everything you need to connect Demco, etrailer, and Blue Ox tow bars to. It is custom fit for a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It fits all models including the Trackhawk and SRT-8. I am not sure what you mean by combo kits but there is no one option fits all for flat towing.

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude with Black Flush Rails
  • For your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude that has the solid black flush rails you mentioned I would recommend the Rhino Rack Vortex roof rack part numbers # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK234. What I really like about the Rhino Rack roof racks is that you get the quality of the higher priced roof racks but at a better price. This is a custom fit rack that will fit your Grand Cherokee well and has the aero shaped bars that are known to be quieter.

  • Kayak Carrier for Whispbar Aero-Style Roof Rack Crossbars
  • The Swagman Exo Aero Rooftop Kayak Carrier # S65145 will fit on aero/elliptical roof rack bars that are up to 2-1/2-inches wide. Since quiet aero bar racks are quite popular and offered by several makers like Whispbar, Thule and Rhino-Rack most carriers' mounting hardware is made to accommodate their larger dimensions. However, the Whispar crossbars are too wide, at over 3-inches, to work with this particular carrier. All aero-bar-friendly kayak carriers are shown on the linked page. Yakima,...

  • Thule Roof Rack System For 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • I spoke with my contact at Rhino Rack about your 2014 Grand Cherokee. They told me that the strips mounted on your roof are part of the mounting system required to have the factory flush rails installed. They said the only way to have a roof rack installed is to have the dealership first install the flush rails. If you choose to have the rails installed, I would recommend the Jeep Grand Cherokee Roof Rack by Rhino Rack, which consists of part # RRVA137B-2, part # RRRLKVA, and part # DK234.

  • How to Install a Brake Controller on a 2001 Jeep Cherokee Without Factory 7-Way Trailer Wiring
  • The best option on Jeep vehicles without a factory 7-way is to use the # ETBC7 brake controller installation kit that you purchased, see instructions link. The 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee without tow package may have the connector under the dash from the factory, but, if present, it most likely is not fully functional. In addition there was no 7-Way at the rear of the vehicle so the blue wire from the harness is terminated somewhere in the factory wiring harness. We do not recommend digging...

  • Can Dual Cam Sway Control # RP26002 be Used with Pro Series Weight Distribution Hitch # 49570
  • The Reese Dual Cam High-Performance Sway Control System # RP26002 can be used only with trunnion bar type weight distribution systems, such as their Strait-Line # RP66084. It will not work with your round bar system # 49570 because the round bars enter the head from underneath rather than from the side as trunnion bars do and the bars on your system lack the angled bends at their ends which are what grab the dual cams to steady the trailer. You may want to try adding a second friction...

  • Recommended 5-Bike Bike Rack for a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • As long as your 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee has a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver, and there is less than 10 inches from the center of your hitch pin hole to the nearest point on your Jeep, then the Curt Premium 5 Bike Rack # C18065 will work well for you. Even though this will fit most vehicles, it is always important to measure to make sure that your vehicle (Jeep in this instance) doesn't have any points that will interfere with the bike rack. Keep in mind that this bike rack has a 225 lb...

  • Rooftop Cargo Bag for 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Without Roof Rack or Raised Roof Rails
  • Your Thule Outbound Roof Top Bag # TH868 (thank you for your purchase) can attach to side-rails, crossbars, or a roof-mounted cargo basket in order to install properly. It looks like your questions says that you can attache to cross-bars. Do you have cross bars that go sid-to-side on you vehicle? If so, you are good to go. I linked our page for rooftop cargo bags that can mount to a naked roof, without need for a roof rack or roof rails if that is the case. I suggest the Rightline...

  • Is a Brake Lite Relay Required for 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Being Flat Towed
  • I understand, there is a lot of components to flat tow a vehicle and even from year to year model changes can make a big difference. You do not need a brake lite relay for the Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Supplemental Braking System # RM-9400 on your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. That's because when you put your Grand Cherokee into "tow mode" the brake pedal does not provide any power to the brake lights. A brake lite relay is used to not allow power to go through when towing, and allow...

  • Adjusting Spring Bars On Equalizer System
  • If you want to get the bars more parallel with the frame I recommend dropping the bracket down one hole and tilting the weight distribution head towards the trailer to even them out a bit more. Although from the photos of the Equal-I-Zer system part # EQ37100ET your spring bars look fine. As long as the spring bars are parallel to the trailer frame and ground, it should not cause an issue for you with backing up. These systems are loud when backing up or taking corners when setup perfectly.

  • Will Curt Friction Sway Control Work Without Weight Distribution System?
  • The Curt Friction Sway Control, # 17200, can be used without a weight distribution system like you mentioned by using the Reese Sway-Control Bracket you referenced, # RP26003. This system helps to fight trailer sway, but only after it begins by adding friction to the sliding bar to stabilize your trailer. This is a reactive system that will help with your trailer sway after it has started and has adjustable tension. This is a great cost effective option for limited sway. It does however...
