Jeep Grand Cherokee Hitch FAQs

1. Can I add a trailer hitch to my Jeep Grand Cherokee?

Yes, you can add a trailer hitch to your Jeep Grand Cherokee! CURT offers tow hitches designed specifically for the Jeep Grand Cherokee, whether you're looking for a standard hitch for towing or a more advanced setup. 

To find the perfect trailer hitch for your Jeep Grand Cherokee, use the CURT vehicle lookup tool at the top of our trailer hitch page. This tool ensures compatibility based on your Grand Cherokee's year, style, and trim package.

2. Does Jeep Grand Cherokee come with a trailer hitch?

The Jeep Grand Cherokee doesn't always come with a hitch pre-installed, but many models do offer it as an optional feature or package, especially on higher trims or when the vehicle is equipped for towing. If your Jeep Grand Cherokee doesn't come with a hitch, you can easily add an aftermarket trailer hitch designed specifically for your vehicle. Be sure to choose the right hitch based on your towing needs and the model year of your Jeep Grand Cherokee.

3. How big of a trailer can I tow with a Jeep Grand Cherokee?

The towing capacity of a Jeep Grand Cherokee can vary depending on the engine, trim level, and other factors. On average, the Jeep Grand Cherokee can tow between 3,500 to 7,200 pounds when properly equipped. Here’s a general breakdown:

  • Standard models with the 3.6L V6 engine can tow around 6,200 pounds.
  • Models with the 5.7L V8 engine can tow up to 7,200 pounds.
  • Diesel models (with the 3.0L EcoDiesel V6) can also tow up to 7,400 pounds.

It's essential to check your specific vehicle’s towing capacity in the owner’s manual or on the manufacturer’s website to ensure you're not exceeding the limits based on your vehicle's configuration.

4. Can I install a tow hitch myself?

Yes, you can install a tow hitch on your Jeep Grand Cherokee yourself, provided you have the right tools and follow the proper instructions. Many aftermarket hitches come with detailed, step-by-step installation guides that make the process easier. However, the difficulty can vary depending on the type of hitch and your mechanical experience. If you’re not comfortable doing the installation or if your vehicle requires special modifications, it might be best to consult a professional installer.

5. What class hitch is on a Jeep Grand Cherokee?

The Jeep Grand Cherokee typically uses a Class 3 trailer hitch, depending on the model and trim level. When selecting a hitch, make sure to choose one that matches your Jeep Grand Cherokee's towing capacity and the type of towing you plan to do. Always refer to your vehicle's owner's manual to confirm the exact specifications for your particular model.

6. How much does it cost to install a trailer hitch on a Jeep Grand Cherokee?

The cost to install a trailer hitch on a Jeep Grand Cherokee can vary depending on several factors, including the type of hitch, whether you choose a professional installation, and where you have the work done. On average, a Class 3 trailer hitch typically costs between $150 and $400 for the hitch itself. For professional installation, the cost generally ranges from $100 to $200, depending on the labor rates in your area and the complexity of the installation process.

So, the total cost for both the hitch and installation can range from $250 to $600 or more. If you’re installing the hitch yourself, you’ll save on installation costs, but make sure you have the right tools and experience to do it properly. Keep in mind that prices can vary based on the specific model year of your Jeep Grand Cherokee.
