The Curt 13245 is a receiver hitch designed for Jeep Liberty models from 2008 to current. It can be used as either a weight-carrying hitch with a maximum trailer weight of 5,000 lbs and tongue weight of 500 lbs, or as a weight-distribution hitch with a maximum trailer weight of 7,500 lbs and tongue weight of 750 lbs.

Yes, the Curt 13245 is designed for Jeep Liberty models from 2008 to current. If your vehicle is a Liberty within this year range, this hitch is compatible.
The Curt 13245 supports a maximum trailer weight of 5,000 lbs and tongue weight of 500 lbs when used as a weight-carrying hitch, or 7,500 lbs trailer weight and 750 lbs tongue weight when used as a weight-distribution hitch. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower than these hitch ratings.
You will need: a 3/8" drive ratchet, an 18mm 3/8" drive socket, a 19mm 3/8" drive socket, a 3/8" drive torque wrench, and safety glasses. The manual notes that using proper tools will greatly improve the quality of the install and reduce the time required.
The hitch includes 6 washers (S-CON, 1/2", part number 30-00149) and 6 hex head cap screws M12x1.75, 40mm, Class 10.9 (part number 10-10386). These fasteners are used to attach the hitch to the vehicle frame.
No, drilling is not required. The hitch uses existing weld nuts in the frame rails on both sides of the vehicle.
Two people may be required to ease installation. The manual recommends having a second person available, though it does not state that a second person is absolutely mandatory.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times while installing this product.
1. Remove the bolt from the driver's side vehicle support bracket and return it to the vehicle owner. 2. Raise the hitch into position. 3. Position the hitch over the frame and support bracket on the driver side and loosely install the supplied fasteners. 4. Torque all 12mm fasteners to 79 lb-ft. The installation is then complete.
All 12mm fasteners must be torqued to 79 lb-ft.
You must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. While the Curt 13245 is rated for up to 5,000 lbs trailer weight and 500 lbs tongue weight (weight-carrying) or 7,500 lbs trailer weight and 750 lbs tongue weight (weight-distribution), your vehicle's manufacturer may specify a lower limit. Always follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommendation, which is the controlling limit.
After installation, periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This ongoing inspection is important for safe operation.
The manual instructs you to periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The specific interval is not defined in the manual; however, regular inspection before towing is recommended as a best practice.
