I can absolutely help you with making sure you get all of the parts that you need to flat tow your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk behind your RV. I have listed each part below, along with an explanation of what each part is for and a recommendation for that part.
Base Plate Kit: This is going to be custom fit for your vehicle and is what the tow bar coming from the RV will attach to. I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1143. This kit is made in the USA and has removable arms so if you are not flat towing you can maintain a cleaner look on your Trailhawk.
Tow Bar: This is what is going to attach to your RV and then connect to your Trailhawk to tow it. I recommend the Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7420. This tow bar is made in the USA, has a non-binding design allowing you to unhook your tow bar on any terrain. This tow bar also includes safety cables which takes care of one of the other parts needed to flat tow. The safety cables are there to prevent your Trailhawk from detaching from the RV should the tow bar fail.
Tow Bar Wiring: This is what is going to allow you to use your Trailhawks tail lights and wiring system while preventing feedback from your RV. I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 which is made in the USA.
Supplemental Braking System: This is going to be what applies the brakes in your towed vehicle, allowing you to safely travel with and stop your Trailhawk, I recommend the Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # DM86VR. This is made in the USA and will give you a proportional braking system that never has to be removed, replaced, or reset.
You may also need a High-Low adapter if you are not within 3" of level. I have included a help article that goes over how to determine if an adapter is needed. I have also linked our selection of High-Low adapters so you can select the one that you need should it be determined that one is needed.
