Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendations for a 2006 Jeep Wrangler
Question:
Trailer hitch and wiring recommendations for a 2006 Jeep Wrangler.
asked by: Ralph
Expert Reply:
The most popular trailer hitch for your 2006 Jeep Wrangler is Curt hitch # 13408. This is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver. 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.
For a trailer wiring harness you can use # 118409 to add a 4-Way flat connector to the rear of your Jeep. I have included links to videos that show example installations of the hitch and wiring.
