Question:

We just purchased a 2022 jeep cherokee trailhawk with tow hitch. Which wiring kit do I use for flat towing

asked by: Jim L

Expert Reply:

Congrats on the new vehicle! The best wiring kit for flat towing is going to be the Roadmaster Smart Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights item # RM63MR. The included diodes convert your 12V signal from your RV's wiring to a 9V signal so your tail lights work as intended. They also prevent electrical feedback that can damage your Jeep's electrical components.

I have listed the parts below that you will need to flat tow your 2022 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk along with any installation videos we may have:

Tow Bar and Safety Chains - Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar item # RM-520 and item # RM-643

Base Plate Kit - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms item # RM-521451-5

Supplemental Braking System - Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251

Charge Line Kit - Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles item # RM-156-25

High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.
