• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited
  From what I was able to find, the 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee, front wheel drive model can be flat towed if a transmission lube pump is installed. You should consult the vehicle owners manual to determine if there are any specific requirements to tow your vehicle. If you find that you can flat tow the vehicle, you can use the Roadmaster XL Base Plates, # 1419-7, that you have selected provided the vehicle does not have a brush guard. You would then need a compatible tow bar. The most popular...

• Base Plate Kit Compatibility with 2004 and Surrounding Years Jeep Grand Cherokee
  I reached out to my tech contact at Roadmaster and he said they don't have what vehicle the 1419-1 fits in their fit guide. They only have that it was listed as obsolete in 2004 so unfortunately I can't help you with that fit. The correct kit for a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee is # 1425-1. It looks like you have a model year close to that, so if you have a 2001-2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee you will want # 1419-7. If you have a 2005 model, you will want # 1427-1 which also fits 2006-2010 models...

• Does The Roadmaster Baseplate # 1425-1 Fit A 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  The Roadmaster # 1425-1 unfortunately is not a fit and it would not be recommended to have it welded on. Instead you can use the # 1419-7 if you have the crossbar style adapter for your Falcon 2 or the # 1419-8 if you'd rather use a direct-connect style attachment. If you don't already have your wiring then I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This will transfer your motorhome's traffic signals to the tail lights of the Jeep. If you don't...
