I'm buying a trailer to haul my sportbike around with the Jeep --- mainly on a move from KC to San Diego. The trailer is a metal/wood flatbed I think 5x8 and the sportbike weighs less than 400lbs.

What type of hitch would you recommend? Also, he sent me a pic of the wire plug, it's a little different than I've seen before.

Do I need a special wiring setup for this? Any ideas what to look for in a wiring kit to accommodate this plug?

Should I go with JEEP branded products or an aftermarket hitch of some sort? How difficult is the wiring/hitch to install?

 

thats looks like a seven way rv plug you should be able to find an adapter to the 4 way flat which is what normally come off the back of the jeep

 

As much as people here hate U-haul, go hit them up, they always have a good selection of wiring harnesses and adapters. As for the hitch you could get one on ebay or from your local dealer, should be less that $100 either way (you will have to install it).

 

Try etrailer.com. They have a huge selection and ship real fast. Prices are competitve. I have gotten pretty much all my trailer stuff from them.

 

Nice, thanks. Any recommendation on class/type? will they have the correct wiring harness for this plug?

thanks... sorry trailering is new to me.
