I checked the owner's manual for a 2015 Jeep Cherokee, it does show that the Mopar Flat-Tow Wiring Harness is required. In addition to this, you'll need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, flat-tow wiring harness (different than the Mopar Flat-Tow Wiring Harness), and a supplemental braking system. I have attached a list of these components for you below.

Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM-521446-5
Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar part # RM-676
Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles part # HM56208
Blue Ox Patriot Radio Frequency, Portable Braking System part # BLU37TR
