Trailer Tow Wiring Harness

Like the full-sized spare, trailer tow wiring harnesses won’t increase your towing capacity. Having this add-on allows you to wire your trailer’s lights to your Jeep Patriot’s electrical system. This enables the rear brake lights and turning signals on the trailer to work simultaneously with those on the Jeep Patriot.

How Do You Increase Towing Capacity

Should you need to tow an object that would put you above the manufacturer’s recommended towing capacity, there are a few modifications you can make to your vehicle to increase this number safely.

Equipping your Jeep Patriot with more durable shocks will help. Even more important than the shocks are the axles. Axles have weight limits also, and if they are tested beyond the maximum, they can warp or snap. Installing more heavy-duty, weight-rated axles will prevent this from happening.

As we noted earlier in this post, keeping the engine cool when it’s working extra hard is the key to avoiding long-term damage to your drive train. While the engine oil cooler will help with this, it will only do so much. Some model vehicles will allow you also to upgrade your radiator to a bigger size. The bigger the radiator, the more it will cool your engine.

Having these upgrades installed will increase the towing capacity by up to 25 percent. However, you should always have this work double-checked by a trusted licensed mechanic before loading your trailer. It’s also very important to note these upgrades will not increase the payload of your trailer.

How Much Can A Jeep Patriot Tow

etrailer | Best 2017 Jeep Patriot Trailer Hitch Options

Posted on February 28, 2021

If you plan to attach a trailer to any vehicle, being fully aware of the towing capacity is a must. The manufacturer’s guidelines on towing should always be strictly adhered to so that your vehicle remains safe while in motion. There isn’t a uniform number for towing capacity, as this amount varies from model to model and can even be different within a model’s trim levels. Supposing you own a Jeep Patriot, what would the maximum amount be that it could safely tow? We researched this popular SUV to provide all the answers you need in this post.

The Jeep Patriot’s latest year model, 2017, has a towing capacity of 1,000 pounds. However, with the addition of the towing package, the 2017 Jeep Patriot is capable of towing up to 2,000 pounds.

Now that we know the maximum towing capacity of a Jeep Patriot, you might have some other questions about this SUV. How is towing capacity determined? Is there any way to safely increase a vehicle’s towing capacity? What happens if I tow beyond the capacity that the manufacturer recommends? To see what we’ve discovered, read ahead in this post.

What Happens If You Tow Over Capacity

We’ve pointed out that following the towing capacity is critical for your safety and the safety of others on the road. Exceeding the towing capacity makes turning much more difficult and can result in dumping your trailer or having it snap free of its hitch. Your vehicle’s brakes can only handle so much, also. If you are pulling too much weight, the braking system can potentially fail.

Earlier, we outlined a few things that can happen to the vehicle itself if you overload your trailer. Aside from damage to the engine and transmission that we mentioned, your vehicle’s tires, suspension system, and axles can be damaged or destroyed by too much weight.

Never take any chances when it comes to towing or hauling with a vehicle. Always be fully aware of the weight on board, the weight of the trailer you have attached, and your trailer cargo weight.

Works well. Everything fits properly. Everything needed is included. It could use better directions/pictures. Good service. Fast delivery.Read more .

The wires in the harness are a heavier gauge than other harnesses I’ve seen, which is good for trailers with many lights – the more lights, the heavier gauge you need. The harness was plenty long, connectors fit well, and the instructions were straight-forward enough. I had the rear bumper off to install the hitch, so installation was particularly easy for me! I was kind of bummed when I realized I had to run a wire to the battery, but that is what it takes to have an active wiring system that shuts down if there is an electrical problem instead of a meltdown. Vehicle tail lights and brake lights still work if the fuse blows.

BillyBob

Haven’t used it yet, but I’m sure it will be fine. The hitch receiver seems to be high quality and can’t beat the price! I have one suggestion to anyone that installs this hitch: take off the rear bumper – it’s easy to do and you can find videos on YouTube for directions. After removing the bumper, this was an easy installation for one person. Have the wiring harness ready because it is really easy to install that with the bumper off too. The width of the hitch was about a quarter of an inch shorter than the width of my frame, so I used two large washers as shims so I didn’t stress the hitch brackets tightening the bolts.Read more .

Is It Safe To Tow At Max Weight

Pro Series Trailer Tow Hitch For 07

Towing at maximum weight is safe, so long as you adhere to all of the manufacturer’s recommendations. As we mentioned earlier, paying attention to the gross combined weight rating is critical when towing. If you have a full cab of passengers and a bunch of cargo in the rear of your Jeep Patriot, this means that you will be able to tow less than the towing capacity. Be aware of the weight on board your vehicle, which will affect the safe amount of weight you can tow.
