The only modifications needed for the front of your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited will be to the lower portion of the fascia at the bottom grill, where cut outs will be need to made for the base plate tabs and electrical bracket to sit when you are installing the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1128.
If you go to about the 34:45 mark of the linked installation video you can see the cut outs that will need to be made.
This will be the first part of your flat tow set up, and you'll also need a tow bar, tow bar wiring, and supplemental braking system:
- Demco Commander II Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # DM9511012-BX
- Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 4-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15247
- Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251
I really like the Commander II tow bar because it has long arms which make it easier to maneuver when towing, is super simple to both connect and disconnect, and comes with integrated safety cables and an adjustable tilting head so a high-low adapter won't be needed.
The Flexo-Coil wiring kit is designed to prevent any type of electrical feedback to keep your Jeep's electrical system safe, and both the Stay-IN-Play DUO is great because it is a one-time install which will never require removal or reactivation, and gives you braking proportional to that of your motorhome, so it is much smoother than most systems.
