CURT parts for the 2012 Jeep Compass

Your 2012 Jeep Compass 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 13081 is a Class 3 hitch with a 2-inch receiver, rated to 4,000 lb gross trailer weight and 400 lb tongue weight, $276.89 CAD.

CURT 12057 is a Class 1 hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver, rated to 3,500 lb gross trailer weight and 300 lb tongue weight, $275.51 CAD. Both ship free anywhere in Canada.

Trailer lights are a plug-in job on this one. CURT 56344 is the four-flat plug harness for the 2012 Jeep Compass, $106.92 CAD, and it clicks into the factory connector so you're not splicing wires behind the bumper.

What you need to tow with a 2012 Jeep Compass

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

  1. CURT 13081 hitch, $276.89 CAD. The receiver that bolts to the Compass.
  2. CURT 56344 wiring harness, $106.92 CAD. Plugs in, no splicing; the trailer lights follow the Compass'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.

2012 Jeep Compass hitch questions

Which trailer hitch fits a 2012 Jeep Compass?

CURT 13081 (Class 3, 2-inch receiver, 4,000 lb) and CURT 12057 (Class 1, 1-1/4 inch receiver, 3,500 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 2012 Jeep Compass tow with this hitch?

The hitch is rated to 4,000 lb gross trailer weight and 400 lb tongue weight. Your Compass 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 2012 Jeep Compass?

If a trailer is going on, yes. Brake and turn signals have to work, and CURT 56344 plugs into the factory connector so the trailer lights follow the Compass's. Order it with the hitch and it's one install.
