Jeep Patriot Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)

Shopping a trailer hitch for a Jeep Patriot 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 Compass-only story from the wrong shelf. We stock CURT 13548 for listed 2007 through 2010 Patriots and CURT 13081 for listed 2011 through 2017 Patriots, with CURT 12057 as the Class 2 option on the later window. Those hitches share Compass titles on the product cards because the platforms twin — Patriot shoppers still belong on this guide and on the Patriot year landers below.

Which CURT hitch fits your Jeep Patriot

Read the year on the door sticker first. CURT lists Patriot beside Compass on these Class 3 cards. That shared title is expected. Use the Patriot year landers on this page, not a Compass-only shopping trip, when your door sticker says Patriot.

Class 3 · early generation CURT 13548 Listed 2007 through 2010 Jeep Patriot Class 3 hitch. Confirm the card years before you buy. Class 3 · later generation CURT 13081 Listed 2011 through 2017 Jeep Patriot Class 3 hitch. Strongest in-stock Patriot rear hitch on this shelf. Class 2 option CURT 12057 Listed 2011 through 2017 Jeep Patriot Class 2 hitch when a lighter receiver path fits your plan.
