Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Question:

I am going to be moving next month and want to self-install the tow hitch and wiring because UHaul is charging too much. Could you tell me everything that I would need for a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee RWD?

For a hitch for your 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee the Draw Tite part # 75338 is a confirmed fit and would be very easy to install. I attached an install video for this hitch on a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee for you to check out as well.

For trailer wiring the part # 118381 is also a confirmed fit which would work well.

If 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 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.
