CURT parts for the 2002 Jeep Wrangler

Your 2002 Jeep Wrangler has two CURT hitches to choose from, and the right one comes down to what you're pulling and what you'll hang off the receiver. CURT 13408 is a Class 3 hitch with a 2-inch receiver, rated to 4,000 lb gross trailer weight and 400 lb tongue weight, $443.78 CAD.

CURT 13430 is a Class 3 hitch with a 2-inch receiver, rated to 4,000 lb gross trailer weight and 400 lb tongue weight, $426.61 CAD. Both ship free anywhere in Canada.

There's a front receiver too. CURT 31028 mounts behind the front bumper of the 2002 Jeep Wrangler, rated to 3,500 lb with 350 lb tongue weight, $317.77 CAD.

Trailer lights are a plug-in job on this one. CURT 55363 is the four-flat plug harness for the 2002 Jeep Wrangler, $62.08 CAD, and it clicks into the factory connector so you're not splicing wires behind the bumper. A second harness fits as well; both are below.

What you need to tow with a 2002 Jeep Wrangler

A bike rack only needs the hitch. A trailer needs all three, and every piece ships free anywhere in Canada.

  1. CURT 13408 hitch, $443.78 CAD. The receiver that bolts to the Wrangler.
  2. CURT 55363 wiring harness, $62.08 CAD. Plugs in, no splicing; the trailer lights follow the Wrangler's.
  3. CURT 45836 ball mount, $41.70 CAD. Ball mount with the ball already on it, ready to hook a trailer. Bigger coupler? CURT 45041 carries a 2-5/16-inch ball, $62.42 CAD.

2002 Jeep Wrangler hitch questions

Which trailer hitch fits a 2002 Jeep Wrangler?

CURT 13408 (Class 3, 2-inch receiver, 4,000 lb) and CURT 13430 (Class 3, 2-inch receiver, 4,000 lb) both fit. Pick the class that covers your trailer with room to spare, then check the fit table on the product page for your build.

How much can a 2002 Jeep Wrangler tow with this hitch?

The hitch is rated to 4,000 lb gross trailer weight and 400 lb tongue weight. Your Wrangler has its own tow rating in the owner's manual, and the lower number is your limit. A loaded bike rack counts against tongue weight too.

Do I need a wiring harness for the 2002 Jeep Wrangler?

If a trailer is going on, yes. Brake and turn signals have to work, and CURT 55363 plugs into the factory connector so the trailer lights follow the Wrangler's. Order it with the hitch and it's one install.
