Can 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk Tow 3,000 lb Camper and Parts Needed
Question:
Can my 2018 jeep grand Cherokee trial hawk pull a 3200 lbs camper
asked by: Joe G
Expert Reply:
I looked up the owner's manual online for a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee and depending on its options it has a towing capacity of between 3,500 lbs and 7,200 lbs so you can absolutely tow a camper that is 3,200 lbs (I do always recommend checking your copy of the owner's manual to verify).
In order to tow with your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk, you will need a hitch and wiring, and I recommend the following:
- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13182
- T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118727
The Curt hitch is going to be the simplest installation and has more than enough capacity to tow a 3,200 lb trailer; with ratings of 6,000 lb towing and 600 lb tongue weight. As for the wiring harness, we have found Tekonsha to be the most reliable manufacturer.
I have added links below to installations of both the hitch and harness on an '18 Grand Cherokee for you to check out.
