Question:

Hi I need to know the parts # for the baseplate for grand cherokee 2023 overland

asked by: Daniel C

Expert Reply:

The best baseplate for your 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L is going to be the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit item # RM77ZR. I checked with Roadmaster and confirmed that this will fit the Overland model. This base plate kit has removable arms that will keep the front end of your Jeep as close to a factory look as possible. Please note that if you have tow hooks they must be removed to complete the installation.

Some other parts you will need to flat tow your Grand Cherokee L are listed below:

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

Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267
or
If your Jeep has the ParkSense Proximity Sensors - Roadmaster Wiring Kit for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights item # RM63MR

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

Supplemental Braking System - SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System item # SM99251 or item # SM99243 if your motorhome has air brakes.

Stop Light Switch - Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit item # RM-751497

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.
