Question:
Need parts to tow our new 2017 Cherokee Trailhawk behind our Class A motorhome. I already have a Blue Ox Alpha tow bar and safety cables.
asked by: Jayrod
Expert Reply:
Since you already have your Alpha tow bar with safety cables # BX7380, you'll need only base plates, a braking system, a wiring kit.
I recommend the Curt base plates # C46JR, which are a great match to your Alpha tow bar. For lighting I suggest an inexpensive and easy-to-install magnetic light kit like # TL21RK. These take only moments to install and require no cutting into the Jeep's wiring.
For a braking system the way to go is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR which is fully portable and wireless for easy installation. If you need to tow another car it is easy to transfer it.
