  • Do I Need the Mopar 68321424AB Wiring Harness to Flat Tow My 2021 Jeep Cherokee
  • While it's true that the Mopar 68321424AB wiring harness has been required in the past, that changed a few model years ago so you will not need it to flat tow your 2021 Jeep Cherokee. For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. Here are my recommendations along with any extra parts that may be needed. etrailer Base Plate Kit - Part # e98951 for Trailhawk...

  • Which Wiring Harness Do I Need for Jeep Cherokee 2001 to Hook A Rockwood Freedom Camper With 6-Way

  • Is Mopar 68321424AB Flat Tow Wiring Kit Needed to Flat Tow a 2017 Jeep Cherokee Latitude

  • Parts Required for Safe & Legal Flat Towing of 1998 Jeep Cherokee Behind Class B Motorhome
  • Virtually all U.S. states and Canadian provinces require that a towed vehicle be equipped with a supplemental braking system of one type or another. Even if you happened to be towing in an area where one was not required my guess is that only a few miles would be required for you to see the merits of a toad braking system! Supplementary braking systems come in many forms. There are purely mechanical systems and portable/wireless electronic systems like the outstanding Blue Ox Patriot #...
