How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Why compact Jeeps often land on a two inch Class 3 receiver, then still respect the door-sticker tow limit.
Watch on YouTube →Shopping a trailer hitch for a Jeep Liberty in Canada? Start with the model year on the door sticker, then pick the CURT Class 3 card that matches that generation before you borrow a Grand Cherokee or Wrangler story from the wrong shelf. We stock CURT 13044 for listed 2002 through 2007 Libertys and CURT 13245 for listed 2008 through 2012 Libertys, each with a matching four-flat harness on this store. That is a clean hitch-plus-harness path when your year lander exists.
All four videos are from the official CURT YouTube channel (@curtmfg). Use them for class selection, install habits, wiring basics, and ball-mount height before you dig into the Liberty cards below.

Watch on YouTube →CURT 13044 is the Class 3 two inch hitch listed for 2002 through 2007 Jeep Liberty years on this store. CURT 13245 is the Class 3 two inch hitch listed for 2008 through 2012. Those are the two steel cards we actually stock for Liberty — open your year lander, then confirm the same years on the product card before the hitch goes in the cart.
CURT 55382 is the four-flat trailer wiring harness listed for 2002 through 2007 Liberty. CURT 56334 covers 2008 through 2012 Liberty on the same shelf and also lists Dodge Nitro years on the card, so read the fitment window carefully. Hitch and lights on matching generation cards is the clean path — use it when your year matches, instead of grabbing a generic converter and hoping.
Keep Grand Cherokee, Wrangler, and Compass shopping on their own guides. Liberty is its own KJ and KK generation story with dedicated CURT cards. Sport and Limited trim badges do not rewrite the 13044 or 13245 fitment windows. We publish Liberty hitch year pages for 2002 through 2012 on this store — we will not invent a post-2012 lander that is not on the list yet.
