Question:
I need a hitch to pull my wave runner trailer to the lake a few times a year. Which hitch should I get for my 2017 Jeep Patriot?

Expert Reply:
For your 2017 Jeep Patriot, I highly recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98836 because it's super easy to install, offers a superior matte black powder coat finish to protect it from rust and corrosion, and its 4,000 lb tow rating is more than enough to safely tow your wave runner to and from the lake as often as you'd like.
If you don't already have the rest of the towing components, I'll list my recommendations below:

Curt Fusion Ball Mount for 2" Hitches with 1-7/8" Ball # C45152 or # C45155 with 2" Ball
