Expert Answers about Jeep Cherokee


  • Will the Extended Version of the Vegabond X # VX201-VX202 Fit My 2016 Jeep Cherokee with Mopar Bars?
  • I have a great alternative for you. While your 2016 Jeep Cherokee has enough roof length and crossbar spread for you to mount the Kuat Vagabond X Roof Cargo Basket and 2 Bike Carrier - Steel - 73" x 41" - 160 lbs VX201-VX202 (with the extension), you will not be able to fully open the rear hatch of your vehicle while the Vegabond X is mounted due to the 73-inch length of the basket. With that being said, if you have a 2016 Jeep Cherokee with a bare roof along with your Mopar Crossbars,...

  • Will the RightLine SUV Tent Fit a Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee
  • Yes. The RightLine # RL110907 is designed to be a universal fit and can be used on variety of SUVs, including the 2020 Grand Cherokee and 2017 Wrangler. The tent has nylon straps that allow you to make a secure connection to your vehicle's rear cargo area and it's a great option especially if you've got multiple vehicles you may take camping. I've linked a short review video of this tent for you to check out.

  • Compatibility of Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2017 Jeep Cherokee Behind Motorhome
  • You've almost got it! The Blue Ox # BX1138 base plates are a fit for a 2017 Cherokee, unless it's a Trailhawk model in which case you'd use # BX1136. The Hopkins # HM56208 would work well, as well as the # BX88206 umbilical, but you'd need to cut off the 4-pole connector on the # HM56208 and wire it into the 6 pin socket included with the umbilical. The # RM-910030-5 bracket would be fine, as would the Blue Ox Patriot braking system # BLU37TR. For a tow bar, the Blue Ox Ascent # BX4370...

  • Hopkins Compatibility With 2020 Jeep Cherokee Factory Hitch
  • 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...

  • Is a Brake Light Relay Required when Flat Towing a 2017 Jeep Cherokee and Air Force 1 Braking System
  • Whether or not you need the brake light relay # RM-88400 for your 2017 Jeep Cherokee depends on the lighting kit you are using. The # RM-88400 relay is not required when using magnetic tow lights. With any other type of lighting kit you will need the relay. A brake light switch kit is different than the relay. You do not need a brake light switch kit for the 2017 Jeep Cherokee and that may have been what customer service meant.

  • 2022 Jeep Cherokee Fitment with Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack
  • Yes, the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # TH56BV will fit your 2022 Jeep Cherokee L Limited. This is marketed as being able to open up your hatch without removing the rack itself which is true, but you do want to make sure you remove the bikes prior to opening the hatch. If any of your bikes has a kid's frame or lacks a horizontal top tube, like what you see with a typical men's bike, then be sure to pick up an adapter bar # TH982XT for it as well.

It will clamp directly to the side rails and allow you to position them where you want on the roof line.

  • Will the Thule Hullavator Fit a 2017 Jeep Cherokee
  • The Thule Hullavator # TH898 requires roof rack crossbars that extend out past the mounting feet or side rails by 4 to 8 inches. The factory roof rack on your 2017 Jeep Cherokee, if equipped, will not have bars that extend out past the feet. If your Cherokee does not have the factory roof rack then you can add one that will be compatible with the Hullavator. For a Cherokee with a naked roof (no bars or rails) you can use Rhino-Rack bars # RRVA150B-2, feet # RRRLKVA, and fit kit # DK398....

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2016 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk
  • For your 2016 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk I recommend the Blue OX Base Plate Kit # BX1136. All base plates for your Cherokee will require about the same amount of trimming. I've attached a video of the install on a 2015 Cherokee you may find helpful. You should know that your vehicle may have Mortorq fasteners that require a special bit from Snap-On to remove. I recommend going with the SMI Air Force One # SM99243 for your supplemental braking system. The wireless systems will work but...

  • Replacement Fenders for ShoreLand'r Boat Trailer

I've added a link to our entire selection of trailer fenders for you to check out.

  • 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. I do want to note that if your model is not 4WD you will need to dolly tow your vehicle instead and will need a dolly like the # DM9713093. To flat tow your vehicle you'll also need a tow bar, tow bar wiring kit, braking system, and safety cables. If you don't have these components already then I have the following recommendations: Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar...

  • Can You Put Two Thule Hullavators On a 2019 Jeep Cherokee
  • I wish I could give you what you wanted but we get this question a lot and the answer is always the same, we don't recommend using two Thule Hulavator Kayak Carriers part # TH898 on the same roof. This has to do with both capacity requirements and crossbar space. The carrier weighs 40 lbs and when you combine that with the weight of the kayaks, you're very likely over the capacity of your roof (usually 165 lbs). The carrier also requires 28-1/2" of clearance so you when you double that,...
