• Parts Needed To Connect Roadmaster Base Plate On 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk To Duncan Tow Bar

• Recommended Baseplate For A 2016 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk
  For your 2016 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521446-5.

• How Are Safety Chain Brackets On Sterling Tow Bar Used With 2016 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk
  I have attached a photo of the Sterling Tow Bar safety cable brackets you can check out. I have an arrow pointing to the brackets.

That is why the bracket needs to be installed on the vehicle. If your Cherokee has 4 wheel drive...

• Determining if 2018 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk Has 1 or 2 Speed Transfer Case for Flat Towing
  Does your 4WD transfer case have a high gear and low gear setting? If so, that would indicate you have a 2 speed transfer case. If there's no indication it has a high or low speed then it's a single speed transfer case. If you have the 4x4 with 1-speed Power Transfer Unit, then you will need to use a trailer so all 4 wheels are off the ground to protect your transmission. However, if you have the 2-speed Power Transfer Unit 4x4 then you can flat tow it. For that you'd need to start...

• Difference Between EZ5 and EZ4 Base Plate Kits for 2017 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk
  You basically have the differences figured out. The EZ5 part # RM-521446-5 attaches directly to the tow bar and the part # RM-521446-4 requires you to use the included crossbar that comes with tow bars from Roadmaster like the very popular Falcon # RM-520.
