Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 5,000 lbs. GTW and 500 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 8,000 lbs. WD and 800 lbs. WDTW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.
If your vehicle is not equipped with wiring for towing a trailer, CURT custom wiring is the ideal solution. A custom wiring harness -- also called a T-connector -- is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that plugs into your automotive electric system and provides a standard, universal trailer wiring connection. This is done using two or more vehicle-specific, OEM-compatible connectors to plug into the taillight assembly, eliminating the need for cutting, splicing and soldering during installation. Custom wiring harnesses are made vehicle-specific, and while they are not available for all vehicles, they do offer one of the fastest, easiest and most secure ways to wire a vehicle for towing. This particular plug-in harness provides a 4-way flat connector socket and is designed to be a custom wiring harness to fit certain years of the Jeep Grand Cherokee (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary wiring components to establish a reliable trailer wiring connection, as well as a dust cover to keep the connector clean when not in use. You have a picture in mind of your next destination -- maybe it's the boat landing at your favorite fishing spot, maybe it's a campsite that overlooks one of nature's masterpieces, or maybe it's the next big jobsite. However, turning that picture into a reality takes more than just daydreaming. It takes a solid connection and the right amount of power. CURT custom wiring is made with some of the most sophisticated technology in the industry and is designed to install with ease, giving you a long-lasting electrical connection for your towing hitch setup.

Yes, the 94 - 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee Curt 2", Class 3 Trailer Tow Hitch + 4-flat Wiring Kit 13048 (Part #CHW-1989) is designed to fit the 1994-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
The 94 - 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee Curt 2", Class 3 Trailer Tow Hitch + 4-flat Wiring Kit 13048 (Part #CHW-1989) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, the Curt 13048 (also listed as RRH13048) is designed specifically for 1993–1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee models. No drilling is required for installation.
No. The Curt 13048 requires no drilling. Installation uses two existing frame studs at the end of the frame and an existing weld nut at the forward attachment point.
The kit includes: 6 flat washers (1/2 inch, part 30-00133), 2 hex head cap screws M12×1.75 45 mm (part 10-10459), 4 hex nuts M12×1.75 (part 20-00136), and 6 lock washers (1/2 inch, part 30-00153). These fasteners attach the hitch to existing frame studs and weld nuts.
All fasteners must be torqued to 79 lb-ft. This applies to both the studs at the end of the frame and the forward attachment bolt.
Only if your Jeep Grand Cherokee has a sided fuel tank shield. In that case, remove the nuts and flat washers from the two studs at the end of the frame, and remove the bolt and washer assembly from the forward attachment. These parts will be replaced during installation with the fuel tank shield sandwiched between the frame and side bracket.
1. Raise the hitch into position over the two existing studs at the end of the frame and hand-tighten the lock washers and nuts only. 2. Install the hex head bolt, flat washer, and lock washer into the existing weld nut at the forward hole. 3. Torque all fasteners to 79 lb-ft. If your vehicle has a sided fuel tank shield, remove the original fasteners first and sandwich the shield between the frame and side bracket before installing the new fasteners.
1. Remove the nuts and flat washers from the two studs at the end of the frame and discard them. 2. Remove the bolt and washer assembly from the forward attachment and discard it. 3. Position the fuel tank shield so it will be sandwiched between the frame and side bracket. 4. Install the hex head bolt, flat washer, and lock washer into the existing weld nut at the forward hole. 5. Torque all fasteners to 79 lb-ft.
Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The Curt 13048 has its own gross load capacity ratings for weight-carrying and weight-distribution modes, but your vehicle's limit takes precedence. Consult your Jeep Grand Cherokee owner's manual for the manufacturer's towing capacity.
Periodically check the hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify an exact interval, so inspect before each towing trip and at regular maintenance intervals.

Yes, the Curt 55349 is designed for Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles in the SUVs, Mini & Full-Sized Vans category. Confirm your vehicle matches the application before purchasing.
The Curt 55349 is a custom wiring harness that provides trailer lighting connections for your Jeep Grand Cherokee. It includes a converter box and a 4-flat connector for towing applications.
You will need a Phillips screwdriver, flat blade screwdriver, and panel trim removal tool. A drill may be needed if a suitable existing screw is not available for the ground wire connection.
The black converter box should be adhered to a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight using the provided double-sided tape.
Open the tailgate and remove the driver-side access panel. Locate the vehicle taillight wiring harness connectors inside the access panel. Separate the connectors from the taillight housing carefully without damaging the locking tabs. Insert the custom wiring harness end with the yellow wire between the separated connectors, ensuring they are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat this process on the passenger side using the harness end with the green wire.
Remove the driver-side access panel, the rear scuff panel, cargo net brackets on both driver and passenger sides, and carefully pull out the rear trim panels on both sides of the tailgate.
Drilling may be required for the ground wire connection. You should first locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no existing screw is available, you may need to drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. Before drilling, check for hidden items behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
If an existing screw is not available, drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided ground screw.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum fuse. Exceeding this rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating, and potential fire. Do not exceed the product rating or tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
Signal circuits are rated at 3.0 amps per side. Tail and running circuits are rated at 6.0 amps total.
When in use, route the 4-flat connector to the center of the vehicle and out of the trunk. When not in use, roll it up and store in a convenient, out-of-the-way location inside the trunk.
Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
A 4-flat dust cover is provided to help prevent corrosion. Install it after completing the installation.
Test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer. All steps must be followed to ensure the wiring harness functions properly.
Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury. The grounding area should be free of rust, dirt, and paint.
The white ground wire should be secured to a suitable grounding point near the taillight connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. Use the ring terminal and provided screw to secure it.
