Expert Reply:
In order to flat tow your 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk with your 2019 Thor Miramar you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, a lighting solution, and a supplemental braking system.
For base plates, I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521451-5. The direct connect brackets are virtually invisible when you aren't towing, giving you a clean look. These are also easy to mount and remove.
For a quality tow bar that is compatible with the base plates, I recommend the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar w/ LED Lights - RV Mount - 8K Item # RM-676. This tow bar features a non-binding design for easy release of your Jeep, extra-long telescoping arms for better maneuverability, and it includes safety cables so you won't need to purchase them separately.
For a lighting solution, you want the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. The kit will allow you to use your Jeep's taillights and wiring system. It will also prevent feedback from your Miramar.
For a supplemental braking system, I like the Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39524. This comes with a battery charger that will keep your vehicle's battery charged while towing. It also includes a remote that will give you your braking status.
It is also possible you will need a high-low adapter to keep your tow bar within the allowed 3" above or below level. I have included a helpful article explaining how to choose the best adapter for your setup. I also included a link to all of our high-low adapters you can choose from, as well as some installation videos for you to check out.
