Question:

Can you tell me what the best parts are for flat towing my 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee? I do not have tow hooks so it looks like I can use base plates. Thanks!

Since your 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee does not have tow hooks, you are right that you can install base plates for flat towing behind your motorhome. My favorite option for base plates are Blue Ox due to their consistent quality, and there are Blue Ox base plates that fit your '24 Grand Cherokee without tow hooks. To make it easy to order I'll go ahead and list out all the parts you'll need:

- Base Plate Kit: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU98CR

- Tow Bar: Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7420

- Wiring Kit - Jeep WITHOUT ParkSense Proximity Sensors: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit # RM-15267
or
- Wiring Kit - Jeep WITH ParkSense Proximity Sensors: Roadmaster Smart Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit # RM63MR

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

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

Along with the Blue Ox base plates you'll need an accompanying tow bar and I really like the Avail because its long 52" reach allows your Jeep to track behind your motorhome better than bars with shorter arms. It also has a hefty 10,000 lb capacity to easily handle the weight of your Grand Cherokee and even comes with safety cables so you don't have to purchase those separately.

The diode wiring kit will prevent any type of electrical feedback to keep your Jeep's electrical system safe, just make sure you get the right kit, depending on if you have the optional ParkSense proximity sensors on your Grand Cherokee.

The charge line kit will keep your battery charged as you are traveling, and the Stay-IN-Play DUO is easily the best because system because it gives you braking proportional to that of your motorhome. So when you hit the brakes on your motorhome, your Jeep is going to get the same amount of braking power, resulting in much smoother braking than other systems.

Finally, I also recommend considering adding a rock guard to help keep your Grand Cherokee looking its best, the Blue Ox KarGard Protective Shield # BX8870.
