Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Installation on a 2015 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk with Factory Tow Hook
Question:
My Trail Hawk has one factory Red tow hook in the rear. Is this the tow hook mentioned that does not need hole increases?

Yes, so in the instructions for Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 76021 for your 2015 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk step 2 mentions the factory tow hook. That is the same tow hook that you are describing (rear, driver's side). So on models that have that tow hook you would skip step 3 in the instructions.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend 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 have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
And for a trailer wiring harness you can use # 118651 to add a 4-Way flat connector to the rear of the vehicle. I have linked a video showing how it installs.
