    Looking to maybe buy a 2016 Jeep Patriot 4x4 2.4L 6 speed High Altitude this week (lease). The problem is, they have none with hitches on them. What comes with the tow prep group? I would have to order one to be able to get that package from the factory. Is this something the dealer can add on...

    So I finally decided to add a trailer hitch to the Patriot and I went ahead and bought the Pro-Series class III trailer hitch off amazon for about $96. I do not have the tow hook and did not plan to wire it so the installation was pretty easy. *I am not responsible if the installation does not...

    Hey Guys, So I've decided to ditch my idea of front tow hooks (for now), and instead install a rear hitch receiver for my pat. Any recommendations? I'm currently looking into the Curt hitches and I'm waiting on my dealer to get back to me with a quote for the Mopar hitch installation. Im...

    Hi everyone, quick question, does the Mopar wiring harness for hitches require a program change on the Patriots computer? I wouldn't think so but someone mentioned it to me... Thanks Steven

    Hey all, I'm looking for info on how to do custom skid plates and tow hooks on my patriot. I used the search function, but haven't found much yet. I'm mostly curious on how to do tow hooks with a trailer drop hitch. I've seen in done, but I don't know the specific process, nor do I have any...

    My Patriot came with the towing option, but the wiring harness is in a bag, not installed, how hard is this to hook up?

    I'm getting a class 3 hitch for my 2014 Patriot Sport 4x4 6 speed and wanted to know what I can really pull. I know what the manual says but I want to know how much it can really handle. For some reason I can't find the oil cooler anywhere. Mopars website is a joke lol

    So I just moved to Denver about three months ago, and I'm looking for recommendations from Riot owners in the area. I'd really like to have the MOPAR hitch installed on my 2011 Patriot Latitude. I have an extended warranty on the car until 101K, so all of my work on it so far has been done by...

    EDIT: for those looking for this info, the bolts on the tow hook appear to be M10 grade 10.9 (including the smaller bolt that stabilizes the tow hook), which would have a max torque of around 53 ft/lb. To get to 100 ft/lb safely you'll need a 1/2" grade 8 or an M14 grade 8.8 at minimum. M12...

    Will a 2010 hitch fit a 2011??? I know some cutting of the plastic will have to be done, I just want to make sure the bolts and stuff line up.

    For three years I have been wanting a Patriot, at long last the dream came true! I would like to introduce for the first time my 2011 Jeep Patriot FDII 70th Anniversary Edition. I called to conclude the deal last Tuesday and picked it up on Friday. I would have liked to pick it up sooner but...

    I bought a 2008 patriot sport 4x4, 4Dr 2.4L last year. I didnt get a trailer hitch. I'm moving south (7 hour drive) this summer and wanted to install a trailer hitch on my own. I helped a buddy put one on his truck last spring. I have no questions or concerns about the installation, it's easy...

    Has anyone ever seen a receiver hitch that doesn't require the bumper to be cut?
  14. Jeep Patriot General Discussion
    Ok first off, I don't know the first thing about Cars I'm a Computer guy lol. I have a 2007 Jeep Patriot Limited (pics on my profile) and I am thinking about buying a small boat. It doesn't have the knob hitch thing on the back of the Jeep so what Do I need to buy and where? I'm pretty sure...

    I am considering buying a Curt Trailet Hitch and wiring kit (T-Connector) I was wondering if anybody had any experience with the above. I have a 2008 Patriot North

    The rear tow hook uses the same frame mounting holes as the hitch. use the right bolts (M12 X 120 mm), and you can use both - hitch on the inside of the frame and hook on the outside of the frame Just install the tow hook back onto your Jeep! The hitch doesn't interfere with it, but you'll...
