Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8
Question:
I have a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 that I want a hitch for so I can tow a tent trailer, what all do I need?
asked by: Herb
Expert Reply:
The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee is the custom fit Draw Tite part # 75699 because it has a 2 inch hitch opening with plenty of towing capacity, has a concealed crosstube which makes it less visible, and has a bracket for mounting trailer wiring. I attached an install video and picture of this hitch for you to check out as well.
You'll also need trailer wiring to activate the lights of the trailer. For that you'd want the part # 118727 because it installs without needing any splicing and because it has the most reliable converter box of the kits we offer.
Since you wanted to do some towing and you'll also need a ball mount and hitch balls 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.
