We do have a base plate kit that fits your 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe; the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM76RR. This fits all models that don't have a brush guard and if you have tow hooks installed you'll need to remove them for this base plate kit to fit.

For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. If you do not have all of these components then these are the parts I recommend:

Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - # RM76RR
etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar - # e74ZR (comes with safety cables)
Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit - # RM-15267
Charge Line Kit - # RM-156-25
Brake Buddy Classic 3 - # HM39494
High-Low Adapter - See attached article (bracket height is 19-1/4")

The Direct-Connect base plate kit and out corresponding tow bar is an easy way to connect your motorhome to your towed vehicle, the wiring kit is one of the most reliable we carry, and the Brake Buddy Classic 3 is a portable braking system that is easier to install compared to brake systems that install permanently. The charge line kit helps to keep your battery from depleting during towing. You may or may not need the high-low adapter which is why I've linked our helpful article for you to reference.
