Before we get started you will want to make sure that your 2021 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk has a 2-speed transfer case with a neutral, and has factory tow hooks.

If it does not have these then there is not an option for flat towing your vehicle.

If you have the items specified above then you will need to a base plate kit, compatible tow bar, safety cables, tow bar wiring, supplemental braking system, and likely a high-low adapter.

Starting with the base plate kit I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521451-5 which has removeable arms making it so when not flat towing you can remove the arms to help the kit better blend in to the front of your Jeep.

For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain # RM-522 due to its 6,000lb capacity that will be perfect for your Cherokee, but also due to the non-binding arms that allow you to quickly and easily unhook your tow bar even if you are parked on un-even ground.

Moving on I recommend going with the Roadmaster Falcon Towing Kit # RM-9243-1 as it includes the required safety cables, connector and wiring, and locks needed. This kit also includes a case to store the tow bar when it is not in use.

Next for a supplemental braking system I recommend going with the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR due to it being very easy to install, and also since it gets completely removed when you are done flat towing it can be used in multiple vehicles should you change vehicles often.

Lastly you will likely need a high-low adapter to level your tow bar to your tow vehicle so I have included a link to a help article that goes over how to measure for the correct adapter, and a link to our selection of adapters for you to look through.

I highly recommend taking a look at the recreational towing section of your owner's manual for any flat towing restrictions, and for any special steps required to make your vehicle ready to be flat towed.

I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
