The first thing to do when you're wanting to flat tow a vehicle is to check the owner's manual to ensure that your vehicle is capable of being flat towed and following any steps it lists to be ready to flat tow. The equipment you need to flat tow is a tow bar, tow bar wiring, base plates, safety cables, and a braking system. I have the following recommendations for your 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee below:
Tow Bar: Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000lbs Item # RM-520. This tow bar will fit with your base plates with no adapters needed.
Tow Bar Wiring: Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit Item # RM-154. This wiring kit splices into your vehicle's wiring to use your tail lights instead of having to run magnetic light to the back of your vehicle every time you want to tow it.
Base Plates: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms Item # 1427-3. These direct-connect base plates will make connecting to the arms of a tow bar super easy.
Safety Cables: RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000lbs Item # RM-643. The coils on these cables will prevent damage due to dragging on the ground.
Braking System: Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # HM39524. This system is a reoccurring setup but only takes a few minutes and comes with a battery charger to keep your vehicle's battery charged while towing.
