I have a 2022 Jeep Cherokee Trail Hawk. Which face plate and wiring kit do I need to order? Secondly, I need a Blue Ox braking system. What parts do I need for that and will I need a charging line?

Expert Reply:
The best base plate kit for your 2022 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk is going to be the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BX1143. This kit is custom fit for the Trailhawks and even fits the models with a two-speed transfer case, and models with active air shutters. Roadmaster's do not. The removable arms will have your Jeep looking as close to factory as possible when you are not flat towing.
Since your 2022 Cherokee Trailhawk has LED lights and the ParkSense feature, you will need the Roadmaster Wiring Kit with Smart Diodes for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights item # RM47ZR and Roadmaster 7-Wire to 6-Wire Straight Cord Kit item # RM-98146-7 which is the line that connects your RV to your Jeep.
Yes, you will also need a charge line kit. I recommend the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles item # RM-156-25.
For a Blue Ox braking system, the easiest one to set up will be the Blue Ox Patriot item # BLU37TR. This system applies your Jeep's brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking.
Additionally you will also need a tow bar and safety chains, I recommend the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar item # BX7380. This tow bar fits a 2" hitch, has a 6,500 lbs capacity, and is compatible with the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BX1143.
