Is Trailer Hitch Installation on a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee the Same as in the Video for a 2007
Question:
I watched the video for installation of the class 3 hitch on a 2007 Grand Cherokee. Is it the same procedure for a 2008 model of the same vehicle?

Installation of the Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75338 will be nearly identical on your 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee as it is in the video for the 2007 model. I have included a link to the video and a link to the installation instructions for you to view.
The 2007 and 2008 models are from the same generation and are built on the same platform and have nearly the same design. Where it matters in terms of a hitch is where it mounts to the vehicle. In this case there are no significant changes that would be different on your model.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend the etrailer ball mount kit, # 989900. It includes 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag. For trailer wiring, use # 118425.
