This accessory fits into the receiver tube of your Jeep Renegade hitch and serves as the mounting point for the trailer ball, allowing you to connect your trailer coupler. When choosing a ball mount for your Jeep Renegade, be sure it matches your vehicle’s towing setup. Consider the shank size, ball diameter, weight rating, and the necessary drop or rise for level towing.

Hitch pins secures the ball mount or other hitch accessory within the receiver tube of your Jeep Renegade's hitch. It's important to choose a pin that matches the diameter of the receiver hole. Keep in mind, some ball mounts include a hitch pin as part of the package.

Hitch tube covers help protect your tow hitch when it’s not in use. While your Jeep Renegade hitch features an open-back design for easy cleaning, a hitch cover adds an extra layer of protection and keeps debris out. Just be sure to choose a hitch cover that fits your Jeep Renegade.

1. Can you put a trailer hitch on a Jeep Renegade?

Yes, you can install a trailer hitch on a Jeep Renegade. Most models from 2015 to 2023 are compatible with aftermarket class 2 and 3 hitches, which typically have a 1-1/4" or 2" receiver. While these hitches may be rated for up to 3,500 lbs., the Jeep Renegade itself is usually limited to towing around 2,000 lbs., so it’s important to follow the vehicle’s factory-rated towing capacity. 

2. How much does it cost to get a hitch installed on a Jeep Renegade?

Getting a trailer hitch installed on a Jeep Renegade typically costs between $300 and $800 at your local dealership or body shop, including both parts and labor. Specifically, labor alone usually runs $150–300, with parts around $175–400 for a basic class 2 or 3 hitch and wiring kit.

3. How do I know which tow hitch fits my Jeep Renegade?

The easiest way to find the right hitch for your Jeep Renegade is by using the CURT vehicle lookup tool at the top of our trailer hitch page. Just enter your vehicle’s year, model, and trim, and the tool will show you the compatible options for your setup.

4. Does the Jeep Renegade come with a factory tow hitch?

Most Jeep Renegade trims do not come standard with a factory tow hitch. However, some Trailhawk or Limited models may offer a towing package as an option. Aftermarket tow hitches, like those from CURT,  are commonly added for better flexibility.

5. Can I install a Jeep Renegade tow hitch myself?

Yes, you can install a tow hitch on a Jeep Renegade yourself. CURT custom-fit hitches are designed for a bolt-on installation with no drilling required, making it a manageable DIY project for someone with basic tools and mechanical skills. Installation typically involves removing some underbody panels, lowering the exhaust temporarily, positioning the hitch, and torquing the bolts to spec. The process usually takes 1 to 2 hours.

6. Are Jeep Renegades good for towing?

Jeep Renegades aren’t designed as heavy-duty tow vehicles, but they can handle light towing tasks reasonably well. When properly equipped, a Renegade can tow up to 2,000 pounds, which is enough for small trailers, teardrop campers, kayaks, ATVs, or utility haulers. However, its compact size, modest engine options, and limited payload capacity make it best suited for occasional or recreational towing — not for hauling heavy loads.

If you’re planning to tow regularly or near the max capacity, upgrading to a class 3 hitch, using a proper wiring harness, and carefully managing weight distribution is key. Overall, Jeep Renegades are good for light towing, but not ideal for larger trailers or long-distance hauls.
