If you have the factory tow package on your 2015 Jeep Cherokee Limited then you should have a wiring plug present near your trailer hitch receiver, If you do have one and you aren't sure if it is aftermarket or not then you can simply check to see how it is installed. The Pollak # HM40975-11933 is a replacement wiring kit for the tow package so you will see a square connector near the trailer hitch. Otherwise the wiring will lead up to your tail lights like the Curt T-Connector # C56208.

According to page 598 of the owner's manual if you have the tow package then your towing capacity is 4,500 lbs (450lbs tongue weight) but if you don't then your towing capacity is 2,000 lbs (200 lbs tongue weight).

If you find that you don't have the tow package and you don't have a trailer hitch or the wiring then you can use the T-Connector I referenced above for a 4-Way Flat wiring connector and I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13172 because it has a hidden crosstube design and easy access to the safety chain loops. You will also need a ball mount kit like the Curt Towing Starter Kit # C45534 to complete your towing setup. I have attached some review and installation videos that you can reference as well.
