Hopkins Compatibility With 2020 Jeep Cherokee Factory Hitch
Question:
Will Hopkins Towing Solution 11141144 Multi-Tow Connector Kit fit into my 2020 Jeep Cherokee Mopar hitch? It looks like it will fit into the opening. Thanks.

It sounds like you're looking for a custom trailer wiring harness for your 2020 Jeep Cherokee. I have a couple of solutions for you.
The Hopkins # HM11141144 harness you were originally considering was engineered to work with 2015-2021 Chevrolet and GMC trucks. You'll need a harness that is designed to work specifically with your Cherokee's wiring.
If your vehicle didn't come equipped with a factory wiring harness (part of an upgrade from Jeep they call the 'Tow Trailer Group'), then the Curt item # C56406 will work perfectly. This custom harness will plug into ports behind the rear tail lights and provide you with a 4-Way connector for connecting with and powering the trailer's basic signal lights.
If the trailer you're wanting to tow has brakes, you'll need to go a step further and upgrade to a 7-way trailer connector with a brake controller to actuate the trailer brakes. I recommend using the Curt Echo # C51180 and the installation kit, part # ETBC7L. The Curt Echo brake controller uses your Android or iPhone as the control/display, and the installation kit includes an adapter that converts the Curt item # C56406 to a 7-way connector.
I've linked some helpful install videos for these products that further explains how these products work together for your Cherokee to be wired to tow your trailer safely.
