Wiring Harness Recommendations For Flat Towing 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk
Question:
I have 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trail Hawk 4x4. Do I need this harness installed to flat tow with my RV?
asked by: Rita P
Expert Reply:
You do need a compatible flat tow wiring harness to safely tow your 2014 Jeep Cherokee TrailHawk 4x4. My best recommendation for you is the Hopkins # HM56208 which is custom made to plug into your vehicle's existing wiring.
In addition to a wiring harness, flat towing your Cherokee TrailHawk 4x4 from your RV requires quite a few different parts if you haven't obtained these already. Not only do you need a tow bar like the Roadmaster # RM-522 with a compatible baseplate like our # e98952, you'll also need a braking system with a breakaway cable like the Roadmaster Even Brake # RM-9400, and safety chains such as the Roadmaster # RM-653.
I've linked some helpful videos and articles that explains more about these parts, as well as flat towing your vehicle in general.
