Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Question:
I would like some guidance on purchasing a hitch for my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Expert Reply:
The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee is the Draw Tite part # 75699 which is the most concealed since only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper, it installs easily, and is priced great. I attached a picture of what the hitch looks like as well as an install video for you to check out too.
If you need trailer wiring the Curt # C56009 is a very easy to install solution for a 4-way.
If you wanted to do some towing 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.
