We have just the items you need for your 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee without a factory tow package.

In order for you to be able to have a 7-way connector on the rear of your vehicle you need to have a 4-way connector first. The 7-way connector will use the 4-way along with additional wiring. If you do not have a 4-way harness currently the first recommendation I have is the Curt T-Connector Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, part # C55369. This is a T-One connector that plugs directly into your existing wiring with no cutting or splicing required. this will give you a 4-way connector at the rear of your Grand Cherokee.

I recommend the Tow Ready Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole, part # 30717. This will connect to the 4-way connector and with additional wiring connections that are shown in the attached photo will provide you with a 7-way connector on the back of your vehicle.

I recommend a mounting bracket for the 7-way connector like part # 18138.

If you are interested in a no-drill option for the 7-way mount I recommend either the long bracket, part # C57202. For a shorter no-drill bracket you would order part # 18140.

When doing any electrical wiring I recommend using dielectric grease like part # 11755. This helps keep dirt and moisture out of the connections and helps prevent corrosion.

I have attached some helpful articles and a video you can check out.
