Expert Reply:

If your 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk is a 4x4 with a 2-speed power transfer case it can be flat towed but it DOES require a Mopar flat tow wiring kit. We do not offer this OEM item. Please refer to page 384 of your owner's manual for more information.

We DO offer all of the other required flat towing components like base plates, safety cables and tow bars.

For your 2019 Cherokee Trailhawk I recommend Roadmaster's Direct-Connect kit # RM-521451-5 so long as it has tow hooks and does NOT have Active Air Shutters. If it has tow hooks AND air shutters then instead you can use their kit # DM9519340 AS LONG AS your transfer case has a neutral position.

If you'd care to tell me which setup you have I will be glad to offer a complete confirmed parts recommendation including a tow bar like the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain # RM-676 or the Demco Dominator Non-Binding Tow Bar # DM9511008.

In the meantime the linked flat towing article may be of interest.
