In order to use a Blue Ox Tow Bar like the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar part BX7365 on a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee you will need the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BX1128. The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit is a great option and installs rather easily with minimal modifications to the frame required. I have attached an install video of myself installing this exact kit as well. In order to complete your flat-tow setup you will also need some other items which I have attached for you below.

Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System part # BLU37TR
