We installed the face plates and they were a little more work then we anticipated, some of the holes were off quite a bit, but we were able to make them work with pry bars. Lol We did find that taking bumper off just four more bolts made the metal trimming a lot easier. The hardest part would be R & R the fascia on the 2018 trailhawk. But all looks good when done and saved lots of money over paying for a install. 786893
Delivery was quick and no missing parts. Installation was fairly easy not due to any issue with the product just tight spaces in the Jeep. As always quality is top notch, as well as pricing. Thanks again, etrailer! 728862

I ordered all the parts required to safely flat tow out 2017 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk from ETrailer.com. The only part they didn't have was the Mopar Flat Tow Enhancement kit Jeep requires to flat tow this model. Ordering from them was great, the website is easy to use and I was able to locate all the pieces compatible with my specific vehicle. The expert recommendations help my decision choosing the right parts. I ordered from ETrailer even though I found some of the parts on other websites a little cheaper. I chose to pay a little more because of all the effort ETrailer has put into installation videos and guides. I was very pleasantly surprised to learn from ETrailer that they have a price match guarantee! So my equipment consisted of the following Mopar Flat Tow Enhancement Kit (from Jeep) Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles Mighty Cord 7-Way RV Style Trailer Connector - Trailer End WesBarg 7-Way, RV-Style Connector w/ 6' Long Coiled Cable Trailer End Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole, RV Blade-Style Trailer Socket - Vehicle End Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar - Motor Home Mount - 6,500 lbs Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms Blue Ox Tow Bar Cover - Aladdin, Aventa LX, Aventa II The installation videos are great but not all inclusive. Take the time to read the instructions that come with the parts. This is a major project, I took about 30 hrs over a full week but as you'll see in the pictures I took s few extra steps to make a cleaner look. Some of those extra steps: The base plate install requires the bumper be modified cutting off a flange on each side, I spray painted this to prevent corrosion. In the install video of the baseplate on the drivers side they use an extra quick link (not included) to run the safety cable around the wiper fluid reservoir. I took the time to remove it and run the safety cable behind it. I didn't want our nice new vehicle to look like it can be towed so I played the brake away switch and 7 way trailer plug behind the license plate, so when not being towed our vehicle looks great! Some things to be aware of. The Brake air cylinder that mounts to the brake pedal with four bolts may need longer bolts, it did on our Jeep. Spend the money for weather tight heat shrink crimp fittings. The Hopkins wire harness was about 1.5 feet short to get to my plug location. Buy extra zip ties, electrical tape and split loom. I recommend reading all the various installation manuals and watching all the videos because the various components integrate together and if you install one at a time you'll be doing a bunch of extra work. The brake light relay is a real pain in the butt, not because of the hardware but because of the location of the brake light switch which is very hard to get to. Overall I am very happy with the products and how the installation looks. We haven't towed it yet but do not expect any problems. 410274
Roy - 07/30/2018It's my 3rd blue ox baseplate and I've installed all of them myself.The 1rst one shipped to me, wasn't close to fitting in the Jeep Cherokee pre existing mounting holes.After numerous calls to blue ox and sending? them pics of the misaligned predrilled holes in the base plate,they finally agreed to send me an replacement.Wasnt much better had to ream out most of the holes to make it fit. I mean a lot of reaming. I've had 3 different base plates from them.96 Cherokee 2006 liberty and this 2016 trailhawk.Extremly disappointed in the last purchase.Plus their attitude was disappointing.Just saying you asked. How ever the folks at E trailer were fine.There you have it 378809
The Blue Ox baseplate was easy to install because ETrailer provided a downloadable installation video. I placed my lap top computer near our work area and paused then played the video as we followed the installation process to completion. This was so much easier to follow then printed instruction. 40 foot Newmar Northern Star Jeep Cherokee Trail Hawk Blue Ox Aladdin tow bar 366434

Great product it needed to be modified as it was in the video. I hope they will correct that. That took some time to do the Mod. After MOD it fits nice and looks good also. 188661

Review from a similar Standard in Base Plates
Great Product... fit as subscribed on 2011 Ford Ranger,easy to follow instructions. There was no communication from e-trailer. After 8 days of nothing I had to call, product at that time had not even been shipped. Very Disappointing. Not so sure I'll buy from them again. 281955
Review from a similar Standard in Base Plates
My 2018 Honda Civic Hatchback baseplate has worked great, no "0" issues. I've towed my car over 4,000 miles and the baseplate is as tight as the day I put it on. Great product...... 608460
