The main difference between CURT Trailer Hitch C13075 and # C13065, is the cross tube. On C13075, it has a round tube and the receiver extends straight out from the side of the tube. This requires a bend in the cross tube which makes more of the hitch visible beneath the vehicle.

Hitch # C13065 has a square cross tube. The receiver is welded to the bottom of the square tube and this makes only the receiver visible beneath the rear of the vehicle. The rest of the hitch is hidden behind the rear fascia of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

If you are looking for something that is more hidden, go with # C13065. Both hitches have the same specs: 500 pounds tongue weight capacity and 5,000 pounds gross trailer weight capacity. Both can be used with weight distribution. I have included a link to the installation details for hitch C13065 for you to review.

If you plan on doing some towing, I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit, # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag. For trailer wiring, if the Jeep does NOT have a tow package, use # 118425. If it did come with a tow package and you want to covert to a 4-Way, you can use # 118384. I have included links to the installation details for both wiring harnesses for you.
