Roadmaster and Blue Ox Base Plate Kits that Fit 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk

Question

Question:

Why are there two different Blue Ox Base Plates when Roadmaster has one Base Plate for the Trail hawk and Trailhawk Elite with ACC and Technology package? Also, the Roadmaster Base Plate is very similar to the BX1143. In addition, the BX 1143 eTrailer price is more than the BX1141 and they have the same Retail price. 1. Can the BX1143 be used for a Trailhawk w/o ACC and Technology package? Note: The 1st and last vehicle pic on the BX1143 page are a Lincoln instead of a Jeep.

Actually both Roadmaster and Blue Ox have two base plate fits for your 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. Roadmaster has the crossbar style part # RM-521451-4 as well as the direct connect kit part # RM-521451-5 whereas Blue Ox has the part # BX1143 and the # BX1140 (no longer available) which are both the same style but were intended for different variations of the vehicle but happen to both fit the Trailhawk style.
