I do have a solution for you, however there are no custom-fit slip on towing mirrors currently available for your 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

I instead recommend looking at a universal option like the K-Source Universal Towing Mirror # KS3891. This is an extra-large towing mirror that will clip over the existing side mirror on your Jeep to provide you with an extended view. It features a ratcheting strap system that will create a snug fit and reduce vibration when attached. The rubber pads on the straps protect the vehicle's mirror housing from scratches.

I have attached an installation video on the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee so you can get a good idea as to how it will look and install on your vehicle.

Hi Chris, I bought a pair of these from my local RV store. They clip on the stock mirror just fine, but you cannot see the end of my travel trailer. It's 8' W x 25' L. The mirrors don't stick out far enough. Any other options?

The K-Source # KS3990 will give you about 2" more of an extension from the factory mirrors on your Jeep. I'm not sure how much more you're needing to be able to see the rear of the trailer - but this is really the longest option we have available.
