Whatever the next checkpoint is on your adventure -- whether it's getting your bike on the trail before sunrise or making it to the campground before dark -- CURT class 2 hitches let you Bring It with confidence. These receiver hitches are made to handle most light-duty towing applications and offer a custom fit for your vehicle. Typically used on full-size cars, crossovers, compact SUVs, minivans or even compact pickup trucks, a CURT class 2 trailer hitch complements the design of smaller vehicles. This particular class 2 hitch is made to be a custom hitch for certain years of the Jeep Cherokee XJ (to verify vehicle compatibility, see application info). It offers a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 350 lbs. TW. Class 2 trailer hitches can typically be used to tow a variety of lightweight trailers, such as a small utility trailer, small fishing boat trailer or popup camper (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component). They are also perfect for adding cargo space to your vehicle with a bike rack or cargo carrier. This class 2 hitch features a 1-1/4" receiver tube to accept a ball mount shank or other hitch-mounted accessory. For safety, it is tested in accordance with SAE J684. A custom trailer hitch design requires extra care, and as such, CURT class 2 hitches are engineered using real vehicles and hands-on research. We use high-strength steel, robotic welding and rigorous testing to produce hitches that are built to fit your lifestyle. To ensure that each hitch will be a reliable extension of your vehicle, we also finish our hitches in a co-curing of liquid A-coat and black powder coat, giving them long-lasting rust and wear resistance.
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 Cherokee, including Sport (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 Curt 55354 is designed for Jeep Cherokee vehicles in the SUVs, Mini & Full-Sized Vans category. However, the manual does not specify which model years are compatible. Contact Curt Manufacturing or your vehicle manufacturer to confirm your specific Cherokee year and trim are supported.
The Curt 55354 has a signal circuit rating of 3.0 amps per side and a tail/running circuit rating of 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed these ratings or your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower, as exceeding the rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
You will need a Phillips screwdriver, 10mm socket, ratchet, and panel trim removal tool. The harness comes with a provided screw, ring terminal, double-sided tape, cable ties and 4-flat dust cover.
Yes. Step 1 requires you to open the vehicle tailgate and remove the hatch threshold, spare tire and spare tire bracket using a Phillips screwdriver and 10mm socket before accessing the taillight wiring harness connectors.
Pull back the interior trim panel to locate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness connectors. Separate the connectors from the taillight housing, being careful not to damage the locking tabs. Insert the custom wiring harness end between the separated connectors and ensure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no suitable point exists, drill a 3/32" pilot hole. The area must be free of rust, dirt and paint. Secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw. Always check for hidden items before drilling to avoid damage and personal injury.
Drilling may be required. You must locate a suitable grounding point near the connector. If an existing screw with nut is available in the vehicle frame, no drilling is needed. If not, you will need to drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. Always check for hidden items behind or under any surface before drilling to avoid damage and personal injury.
Using a trim panel removal tool, pry the trim fasteners out on the black plastic wire bracket. Locate a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight. Adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape.
When in use, route the 4-flat 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.
Reinstall all items removed during installation (hatch threshold, spare tire and spare tire bracket). Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion. Test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer.
Exceeding the product rating (3.0 amps per side for signal circuits, 6.0 amps total for tail/running circuits) or your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower, can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. Do not exceed the product rating.
