Towing Capacity of 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited
Question:

Expert Reply:
The towing capacity of your 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited is 3,500 lbs when you have a trailer hitch like the Curt # C13172 installed.
For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # 118605 which installs without any splicing and has the most reliable converter box of all of the kits we offer.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
