This accessory slides into the receiver tube of your Jeep Compass hitch and provides a connection point (trailer ball) for the trailer coupler. Choose a ball mount that matches your setup in shank size, ball diameter, weight rating, and the right amount of drop or rise.

Hitch pins secure the ball mount or other towing accessory inside the receiver tube of your Jeep Compass hitch. Select a hitch pin that fits the hole diameter of your receiver. Some ball mounts include a hitch pin in the package.

Hitch tube covers protects your hitch when it’s not in use. The Jeep Compass hitch has an open back for easy cleaning, and adding a cover helps keep it free from dirt and debris.  Be sure to choose a hitch cover that matches the receiver tube opening.

1. Can I put a tow hitch on a Jeep Compass?

Yes, you can install a tow hitch on a Jeep Compass. The Compass is designed to accommodate towing when properly equipped. This applies to most 2007–2025 models, including the Trailhawk trim.

2. Can a Jeep Compass pull a trailer?

Yes, a Jeep Compass can pull a small trailer, but there are important limitations to keep in mind. It’s important to account not just for the trailer’s weight, but also for passengers, cargo, and any additional equipment in the vehicle, as exceeding the towing capacity can compromise safety and performance. To tow with a Compass, you’ll need a properly installed hitch and the appropriate trailer wiring for lights and brakes. While the Compass isn’t designed for heavy-duty towing, it’s capable of handling light loads for weekend trips, landscaping, or other small hauling needs.

3. How much does it cost to put a trailer hitch on a Jeep Compass?

Installing a trailer hitch on a Jeep Compass generally costs between $250 and $600, depending on the type of hitch, whether wiring is needed, and where you have it installed. Hitches themselves typically range from $150 to $300, with wiring harnesses adding another $50 to $150 if your vehicle isn’t pre-wired.

Labor costs at dealerships or independent shops usually run $100 to $180, though dealership quotes for parts and installation can exceed $1,000. DIY installation is also an option for those comfortable with tools, which can reduce costs to roughly the price of the hitch and wiring. Overall, the total cost depends on your choice of parts and installation method.

4. Is a Jeep Compass good for towing?

Yes, the Jeep Compass is suitable for light towing needs, making it a practical choice for small trailers, boats, or camping gear. 

5. Can I purchase a hitch for my Jeep Compass locally?
