I do have an option for you but I am not aware of any way to flat-tow a vehicle using a front mount trailer hitch as there would be no way for the wheels to track properly. The most cost effective option we have for you to attach the Cherokee to your pickup is with the Curt Tow Bar with Adjustable-Width Arms part # C19745. If you don't have a steel bumper on your Jeep to attach this tow bar then you will need to remove the bumper and then attach this to the vehicle's core support.

In order to provide signals from the tow vehicle you will also need to use the Hopkins Magnetic Tow Lights part # C6304.
