Parts Needed To Flat-Tow a 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk
Question:
What parts do we need to tow our 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk behind a motorhome. I did see that it is flat-tow able so just want to make sure I get everything I need at once.

In order to flat-tow a 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk you will need a tow bar, base plate kit, flat-tow wiring harness, safety cables, supplemental braking system (if required by law), as well as a few other vehicle specific components. I have attached my recommendations on these components for you below.
Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit part # DM9519340 (Works With Widest Variety of Tow Bars)
Demco Dominator Non-Binding Tow Bar part # DM9511008 (Easiest To Use/Built-In High-Low Adapter)
Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit part # RM-15267 (Most Durable/Charge Line Compatible)
Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles part # RM-156-25
Air Force One Supplemental Braking System part # SM99243 (Motorhomes With Air Brakes) or
Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System part # SM99251 (Motorhomes With Hydraulic Brakes)
Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit part # RM-751471
I have attached for you below some videos when we installed some of the above components on a 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk which will be the same as the 2020 in this aspect.
