How Far is a Trailer Hitch Recessed Under the Bumper on a 2014 Jeep Patriot
Question:
I see, in your videos, that the dimensions from center of pin hole to face of bumper and top of the receiver hole to ground differ from model year to model year. What are those dimensions for the 2014 Jeep Patriot?

We haven't had a chance to install Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75712 on a 2014 Jeep Patriot but the measurement should be around 6-1/2 inches like on the 2011 model in the video I have linked to the right.
We have installed Curt hitch # C13081 on a 2014 Patriot and it measured 6-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole back to clear the rear bumper. I have linked the video for this hitch as well.
If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4. It comes with a ball mount with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop, interchangeable ball set, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included to the right that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
For trailer wiring you can use # 118552. I have linked a video showing how it installs as well.
