Expert Answers about Jeep Renegade


  • Does Draw Tite Hitch for 2018 Jeep Renegade Hang Below or Through Rear Bumper
  • For your 2018 Jeep Renegade the Draw Tite hitch part # 76021 that fits it hangs below the rear bumper as there would be no way to mount it through the bumper. I attached a picture that shows how it will look when installed. I also attached an install video for more info for you to check out too.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2017 Jeep Renegade
  • I would love to help but there would be no way for me to verify that the trailer hitch you are looking at is correct for your 2017 Jeep Renegade. However, I can say that the correct hitch for your Renegade should measure 36" apart on center between the two horizontal bolt holes and 40 apart outside to outside between the two vertical bolt holes. If you take a look at the attached photo you will see what holes on the vehicle that the trailer hitch utilizes that way you can measure to be...

  • Recommended Surco Safari Cargo Basket for 2015 Jeep Renegade Latitude
  • The Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket # SPS4560-1101 does offer a great advantage in being able to mount directly to factory roof side rails without requiring a set of roof crossbars to be installed. This provides not only a substantial cost savings but also a weight savings which means you'll be able to use more of the Jeep's roof weight capacity for your actual cargo. The Surco weighs only about 30-lbs thanks to its corrosion-free aluminum construction. I suggest checking your...

  • Difference Between Amount of Leafs in Slipper Spring Packs for Trailer Suspension
  • Some people prefer spring packs with greater amounts of leaves as that in the unlikely event one of them break there are several others to back it up. But the thinner the leaves (to create a multi-leaf spring pack) the more likely one would be to break. The other thing to consider is that a thicker spring pack would raise the trailer up a bit if the spring was mount above the axle. For a 2,000 lb axle we only have one slipper spring available as part # SP-179275 which has 4 springs.

  • Recommended Surco Safari Cargo Basket, Adapters, and Spare Tire Carrier
  • The Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket for Yakima Roof Racks - 60" Long x 45" Wide # SPS4560-Y400 does not require crossbars when you use the Clamp-On Adapters for Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket # SP1101. I've attached a video to assist. The Spare Tire Carrier for Surco Safari Rooftop Cargo Baskets # SPST100 clamps down onto the carrier and the large bolt will work with any spare tire bolt pattern. The prices of these components can be found on the individual products...

  • Best Snow Chains for Tire Size 255/55-17
  • The best tire chain option for your tire size of 225/55-17 is the Konig Easy Fit Chains part # TH2004735235 install in a matter of seconds, provide great traction, and require minimal clearance to fit. Since you have snow tires already you'd probably be okay with just a single set installed on the rear axle but if you wanted max traction and safety a chain on all four tires would be ideal. You'd have to check the owners manual of your vehicle for any tire chain restrictions but these...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk
  • Thet best hitch for your 2015 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk is the Draw Tite hitch part # 76021. We had the chance to instal lthis on a similar 2017 Renegade Trailhawk like yours and we found it fit very well. Check out the install video I attached for more info. For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # 118651 which is a confirmed fit as well. This is the most reliable brand we offer for trailer wiring. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit...

  • 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.

  • Folding Aluminum Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2016 Jeep Renegade
  • For an aluminum folding cargo carrier the Curt Carrier part # C18100 would be a great option. This carrier measures 19 by 60 inches and has a 500 lb capacity. Since this is the only carrier we offer that meets the criteria you asked for it would be our best recommendation. You would need to have a 2 inch hitch installed on your 2016 Jeep Renegade like the part # 76021.

  • 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 Bike Rack for Electra Townie Bikes on a 2015 Jeep Renegade
  • I looked up the owner's manual for a 2015 Jeep Renegade and it stated on page 406 that the max Tongue Weight (TW) for your Renegade is 200 lbs. We will need to keep that in mind when looking into platform bike racks. If you are only needing to carry 3 bikes then the bike rack that I recommend for you to use is the Kuat Transfer 3 Bike Platform Rack # KU24FR. This is a wheel mount bike rack which means that it will secure your Electra Townie bikes by their wheels instead of their frame...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2015 Jeep Renegade Sport with Naked Roof
  • For your 2015 Jeep Renegade that has a totally naked roof the correct roof rack you'd want is the Rhino Rack Roof Rack part numbers # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK478 which is a confirmed fit and would work well. The fit kit of this attaches to the fixed mounting points that your roof already has. Currently we do not have a Thule option.

  • Adding a 7-Way Blade Wiring Harness to a 2020 Jeep Renegade 2WD
  • You will need our etrailer 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit # ETBC7L to connect to the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118651 that you installed on your 2020 Jeep Renegade. The 4-way plug from the Tekonsha will plug into the 7-way which will take care of the lighting circuit on your trailer. As your trailer has a 7-way and only weighs 1,000lbs it likely has a charge line that will charge the battery on your trailer while you are driving. The 7-way kit also includes wiring to run this charge...

  • Can 2016 Jeep Renegade be Towed Behind Motorhome
  • I did some checking and it looks like your 2016 Jeep Rengade can be towed with a tow dolly like the Roadmaster part # RM-2050-1 only if it's front wheel drive. It cannot be flat towed with all 4 wheels down in any configuration. Dolly towing has advantages over flat towing. The price is typically less especially when you consider install for the flat towing parts and it's easier to use a tow dolly with a new vehicle since you don't have to buy any additional parts or install anything...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2018 Jeep Renegade to Use with 1-1/4 Inch Bike Rack
  • The Curt Class II Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12142 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2017 Jeep Renegade. It will provide you with a 1-1/4 inch receiver so as long as your existing bike rack is compatible with 1-1/4 inch receivers it will work great. This particular hitch Curt does require the use of a stabilizing strap # 18050 with any non-trailer load like your bike rack. I have attached an installation video on the strap so you can see exactly how they work. If you...

  • 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...

  • How Much Weight can 2016 Jeep Renegade Tow
  • U-Haul trailer size won't be as important as how much weight you would end up towing. You have to stay under the towing capacity of the vehicle. Which according to what I was able to find online would be 2,000 lbs. For a hitch that is confirmed as a fit for your 2016 Jeep Renegade the Draw Tite part # 76021 is a confirmed fit that would work well. Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4...

  • Hand Winch Recommendation with Free Wheel and Longer Steel Cable
  • The Dutton Lainson 2-Speed Hand Winch # DL15440 that you referenced is a 2 speed jack that if you push up on the ratchet lever it will allow it to free wheel. Check out the 2:45 mark of the video I attached to see how this is done. This also has a 3,200 lb capacity as well. For 50 foot long rope to use you would want the part # DL24104 as well.
