A CURT trailer hitch is the key to pursuing your passions, whether you're taking the family boat out for an afternoon on the water or packing up the mountain bikes for a day on the trails. This CURT class 2 hitch is perfect for towing a small trailer, such as a boat trailer, lightweight camper or utility trailer. It can also be used to mount a hitch cargo carrier or bike rack (never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Like all CURT custom hitches, this class 2 trailer hitch is made for a vehicle-specific fit. It is engineered to seamlessly integrate with select years of the Jeep Liberty (see application info to verify fitment). It is rated for 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 350 pounds tongue weight. It is also equipped with 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" hitch receiver to accept the included ball mount. The ball mount that comes with this hitch kit has a 3/4" trailer ball hole and can be positioned in the drop or rise orientation for level towing with your specific trailer (trailer ball not included). Like all CURT custom receiver hitches, this class 2 hitch is designed, manufactured, finished and tested with the utmost care. It is engineered for a precise fit, easy installation, maximum towing strength and an integrated look on the vehicle. It is also tested to SAE J684 protocols for safety. This class 2 trailer hitch is finished with our industry-leading dual-coat process for unparalleled rust, chip and UV resistance. It is descaled for a smooth surface, submersed in liquid A-coat for rust prevention inside and out, covered with a highly durable powder coat, and finally co-cured for a dependable shield against the elements. This class 2 hitch comes with a ball mount, hitch pin and mounting hardware for a complete installation.

Yes, CURT part number 12245 is designed for 2008-Current Jeep Liberty SUVs. The hitch is a weight-carrying receiver hitch with a gross load capacity of 3,500 lbs. trailer weight and 350 lbs. tongue weight.
The CURT 12245 is rated for a gross load capacity of 3,500 lbs. trailer weight and 350 lbs. tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower than the hitch rating.
The CURT 12245 is designed for use with ball mount part number D-55001.
You will need: 3/8" drive ratchet, 18mm 3/8" drive socket, 19mm 3/8" drive socket, and 3/8" drive torque wrench. Safety glasses should be worn at all times during installation.
No, drilling is not required. The hitch uses existing weld nuts in the frame rails on both sides of the vehicle.
Yes. You must remove one bolt from the driver-side vehicle support bracket and return it to the vehicle owner. This is the only factory part removal required.
Two people may be required to ease installation. The manual recommends having a second person available to help, though it may be possible to install with one person.
All 12mm fasteners must be torqued to 79 lb-ft.
The hitch includes 6 conical toothed washers (1/2") and 6 hex bolts (M12-1.75 x 40mm). These fasteners are installed into the existing weld nuts in the vehicle frame rails.
1. Remove the bolt from the driver-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 (driver side) and loosely install the supplied fasteners. 4. Torque all 12mm fasteners to 79 lb-ft. The installation is then complete.
Loosely install the supplied fasteners first while positioning the hitch over the frame and support bracket. Only after all fasteners are in place should you torque all 12mm fasteners to 79 lb-ft.
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 towing operation.
Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. While the CURT 12245 is rated for 3,500 lbs. trailer weight and 350 lbs. tongue weight, your Jeep Liberty may have a lower manufacturer-specified limit that must be observed.
Safety glasses should be worn at all times while installing this product.
