There is a Blue Ox flat tow set up for your 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee WL (the new body style) with tow hooks. Here are the parts you'll need, which I verified with Blue Ox:

- Base Plate: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU68CR

- Tow Bar: Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7380

- Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267

- RoadMaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM77RR

- Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Wire Kit for Demco Supplemental Braking Systems # DM66VR

- Supplemental Braking System: Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # DM86VR

Going with a Blue Ox set up was a nice choice. They have a deserved reputation for the quality of their base plates, and they also give your Jeep a nice, clean look when you aren't towing it due to their removable arms. As for the tow bar, the Alpha 2 is super easy to use, connecting with arms that self-align; you just connect the tabs and drive your motorhome forward.

Disconnecting is easy too, even when you're not on level ground, because you simply turn a handle on the bar to disengage. The tow bar has a 6,500 lb capacity, which is well over what your Jeep weighs, and even comes with safety cables so you don't have to purchase those separately.

I really like the Flexo-Coil wiring kit because it is designed to prevent any type of electrical feedback, keeping your Jeep's electrical system safe, the charge line kit will keep your Jeep's battery charged as it is being towed, and the stoplight switch ensures the braking system is working properly. As for the braking system, the Stay-IN-Play DUO is easily the best because it gives you braking proportional to that of your motorhome. So when you hit the brakes on your motorhome, your truck is going to get the same amount of braking power, resulting in much smoother braking than other systems.
