The 2012 Jeep Liberty and the 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee do not have trailer wiring harnesses or trailer hitches that work on both models. We do offer wiring and hitches for both models.
For your 2013 Grand Cherokee I recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 75699. This is a Class lll trailer hitch and it has a 2 inch receiver opening. I have attached a link to an installation video for this hitch on a 2013 Grand Cherokee you can check out.
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, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
For a trailer wiring harness I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 118425. This plugs into the vehicle wiring at the connector located behind the tail lights on the vehicle. I have attached a link to an installation video for this harness on a 2013 Grand Cherokee.
When working with electrical connectors I recommend using dielectric grease like part # 11755. This keeps dirt and moisture out of the electrical connections and helps prevent corrosion.
