Yes, Curt part number 13171 fits all Jeep Cherokee models from 2014 to present, including Trailhawk variants.
When used as a weight-carrying hitch, the Curt 13171 supports a maximum trailer weight of 5,000 lbs and tongue weight of 750 lbs. When used as a weight-distribution hitch, it supports a maximum trailer weight of 6,000 lbs and tongue weight of 750 lbs. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
The hitch weight is 48 lbs.
You will need a ratchet, sockets in 3/4", 8mm, and 21mm sizes, a 6" socket extension, and a torque wrench. A 10mm socket is also required for Trailhawk models to remove the plastic fascia panel screws. Safety glasses should be worn at all times during installation.
No, drilling is not required. The hitch uses existing frame rail holes accessed through square rubber plugs on each side of the frame.
Temporary plastic fascia removal is required only for Trailhawk models. Remove the 4 screws from the bottom of the panel using a 10mm socket, push on the tabs to unclip, and set aside for reassembly. Non-Trailhawk Cherokee models do not require fascia removal.
Two people may be required to ease installation, though the manual does not specify whether a second person is mandatory or optional.
1. For Trailhawk models, temporarily remove the plastic fascia panel by removing 4 screws with a 10mm socket and unclipping tabs. 2. Examine vehicle frame rails and unfasten any wire present by pulling the retainer out; remove square rubber plugs on each side to expose access holes. 3. Use fishwire to route rear and side mounting hole hardware through the access holes; use reverse fishwire for remaining hardware (both sides). For Trailhawk models, use only reverse fishwire hardware and the vehicle's M14 bolts. 4. Raise the hitch from in front of the exhaust into position, being careful not to push hardware back inside the frame; loosely secure with mounting hardware to align all holes before final tightening. 5. Resecure any wire to the vehicle frame rail as needed. 6. For Trailhawk models, clip the plastic fascia panel back into place and secure with 4 screws.
Torque all 1/2" hardware to 110 lb-ft. For Trailhawk models, torque all M14 hardware to 139 lb-ft.
Loosely secure the hitch with mounting hardware first to align all holes, then tighten them. This ensures proper alignment before final torquing.
Seam foam may need to be trimmed for proper mounting plate fit, but the manual does not specify the exact location or extent of trimming required.
The kit includes 6 serrated-flange nuts (1/2-13 UNC, Grade 8, YZ), 6 carriage bolts (1/2-13 UNC, 1-1/2", Grade 8, YZ), 6 pieces of 1/2" fishwire, and 6 square hole spacers (.250 x 1.00 x 3.00"). For Trailhawk models, the installation also uses the vehicle's existing M14 bolts.
Return the square rubber plugs to the vehicle owner after installation.
If wire is present on either side frame rail, unfasten it by pulling the retainer out of the frame and temporarily let it hang loose below the frame rail. After installation, resecure the wire to the vehicle frame rail as needed.
Safety glasses should be worn at all times while installing this product. Read all instructions thoroughly before beginning installation. Use proper tools to improve installation quality and reduce time required.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify a retorque interval or maintenance schedule beyond this periodic inspection.
