While there are a couple flat towing parts that can be used for both your 2019 Jeep Cherokee and 2015 Chevy Silverado - the tow bar and supplemental braking system - the two vehicles do need their own separate base plate kits and wiring. If you want to tow both vehicles the most cost-effective way is going to be with a tow dolly, which we also carry. I'll give you the dolly as well as parts needed to flat tow both vehicles so you can make your decision.

For a tow dolly the best option is the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes # DM9713045 because it is foldable and has a wheeled tongue jack which means it is the easiest tow dolly to store by far. This is the best dolly on the market due to their ease of use and disc brakes, which means no difficult wiring set up. Tow dollies do have a 4,800 lb weight capacity which you'll want to keep in mind as some Silverado models can exceed this weight. I've added links to video reviews of both dollies for you to check out.

If instead you decide to go the route of flat towing, here is a list of the parts you'll need, starting with the parts that are transferable between both your 2019 Jeep Cherokee and 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500:

Parts That Can be Used for Both Vehicles:
- Demco Commander II Non-Binding Tow Bar # DM9511012
- Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System # BLU37TR

Parts Needed for 2019 Jeep Cherokee:
- Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM9519340 (Overland and Trailhawk models) or # DM9519338 (all other models)
- Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267

Parts Needed for 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500:
- Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518200
- Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
- Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect with Switch # RM-766
- 12 Volt Outlet Kit # RM-9332

The battery needs to be disconnected to tow your Silverado, which is why the extra parts are needed with this vehicle, and each vehicle also needs its own wiring kit because it splices into your current wiring.

I have added links to the written instructions as well as video installs for you to check out to help inform your decision.
