To flat tow your 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland with a Ready Brute Tow Bar, you will need to use the Adapter Brackets for Ready Brute Elite Tow Bars item # BX88297 and one of the following base plates depending on whether or not your Jeep has the tow hooks.
Without Tow Hooks - Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BLU98CR
With Tow Hooks - Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BLU68CR
Some other parts you will need to flat tow your Jeep are listed below:
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267. This diode kit allows you to use your Jeep's tail lights and wiring system while preventing feedback from your RV. This kit will come with a 6-way socket for your Jeep as well as an adapter cable to go from the vehicle to the motorhome.
Please note that if your Jeep has ParkSense Proximity Sensors then you will need the Roadmaster Wiring Kit with Smart Diodes for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights # RM47ZR and the Roadmaster 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Kit # RM-146-7 instead.
Charge Line - Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles item # RM-156-25. I checked your owners manual and it says not to disconnect the battery. This charge line will keep it topped off on your trip so you don't arrive at your destination with a dead battery.
Supplemental Braking System - SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System item # SM99251 or item # SM99243 if your motorhome has air brakes. You will also need the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit item # RM-751490 to ensure that your supplemental braking system is properly positioned and working effectively. This kit activates your RV's monitoring system to alert you when the brakes of your towed car are being applied.
