Yes, we have base plates that are compatible with the Demco Aluminator Tow Bar. All you need is the Roadmaster Tow Bar Adapter # RM-032. This will then allow you to install the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit # RM-521447-4 on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee Latitude so that it can be flat towed.

Keep in mind that a complete flat towing setup includes the Tow Bar and Base Plates, Safety Cables, Vehicle Tow Bar Wiring, a Supplemental Braking System, and possibly a High-Low adapter depending on the setup.

For safety cables I recommend going with the RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables # RM-643 which are rated at 6,000 lbs.

A popular choice for vehicle tow bar wiring is the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154 which will bypass the wiring on the Jeep and connect to the tail light housing. For vehicles with separate wiring the Conveter Kit # 154-792-118158 is available to retain separate turn and brake signals.

For a supplemental braking system I highly recommend the SMI Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Motor Homes with Air Brakes # SM99243. If magnetic vehicle tow lights are not being used then the Brake-Lite Relay Kit # RM-88400 is required to keep the Jeep's brake signal from overriding turn signals.

To determine whether a high-low adapter is required you can check out the helpful article that I attached. I have also linked our selection of high-low adapters for you to look through.

Also attached are some demonstration and installation videos that you can use as a reference.
