Expert Answers about Jeep Cherokee


  • Will the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack Block a Rear Backup Camera
  • The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack part # SH22G will likely block or partially obstruct the view on most factory backup cameras. That said, we can't exactly test this for every vehicle either. If you are looking for a bike rack that won't block the backup camera while in the stowed position then the best option would be the Kuat Transfer 2 Bike Platform Rack part # KU74FR which has a much more open design therefore has a greater chance of not obstructing the view.

  • Two Load-Assist Kayak Carrier Recommendation for a 2015 Jeep Cherokee
  • Each Hullavator requires 28.5-inches of space on the crossbars. So you would need 57" long crossbars with 4-8 inches of crossbar overhang on each side. That can be accomplished with the Yakima Jetstream 60" Roof Rack System with part numbers # Y00426 and # Y33TR. Your 2015 Jeep Cherokee has a load capacity of 150 lbs with a roof rack according to the Owner's Manual.

  • 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,...

  • How to Flat Tow a 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk with Roadmaster Stowmaster Tow Bar
  • I have a solution for you that will let you flat tow your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Latitude with your Roadmaster Stowmaster Tow Bar part # RM-501, but it will require you to use a Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX1136 and then the Roadmaster to Blue Ox Base Plate adapter part # RM-031. Or you would have to upgrade your tow bar to a set that stores on the tow vehicle like the Roadmaster Falcon part # RM-520.

  • Extremely Loud Wind Noise With Rhino Rack Square Bars on 2014 Jeep Cherokee
  • The Rhino Rack Euro Bars setup for the 2014 Jeep Cherokee naked roof is a square bar system that is now obsolete. Since square bars are not aerodynamic, they can create a lot of wind noise. To reduce the wind noise on this style of bars, a lot of our customers use a wind fairing to allow the wind to bounce off of the bar instead of whistling through it. For that I recommend Rhino-Rack Fairing for Roof Racks part # RRRF2 which will help the wind noise. The best option is to switch out the...

  • Will Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack Fit Factory Raised Rails on a 2019 Jeep Cherokee
  • We actually have had the opportunity to install this roof rack on a 2019 Jeep Cherokee and made a video of it that I'm linking for you to check out - so the 50" Long Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG215 will work for your application.

  • Does Weight Distribution for 2016 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk Affect Tongue Weight Capacity
  • A weight distribution will be a big help in regards to both ensuring you tow level and sway control, but it will not have a factor on how much tongue weight your 2016 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk is able to handle. According to the owner's manual I looked up, the max tongue weight of this vehicle is 450 lbs with the 3.2L engine and Trailer Tow Package, so that is what you are limited to. Since tongue weight is approximately 10% - 15% of the trailer's GVWR, 450 lbs is very much pushing it with...
