Hey Jeff,

The Blue Ox Baseplate Kit BX1155 is listed under part # BLU76HR on our site. If you haven't picked out the rest of your flat towing components for your 2017 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk then I have the following recommendations:

Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox and Curt Base Plates # e47ZR. This tow bar comes with safety cables included and has a built in rise/drop to help keep it level between both vehicles.

Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This diode kit will splice into your factory tail light wiring to transfer your motorhome's traffic signals over to the tail lights of the Cherokee.

Braking System: If your motorhome has hydraulic brakes you'll need the Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo # SM99251. If it has air brakes you'll need the Air Force One # SM99243 instead.

Since the battery will drain while you tow you'll need to install a charge line kit # RM-156-25 to keep it charged up while you tow. If your motorhome doesn't have a charge line ran to the center pin of the 7-way you'll also need part # RM-156-75.


Tech Tips:

- Jeep issued a tech bulletin to install wiring kit 68321424AB when flat towing your vehicle, which is available at your local Chrysler and Jeep dealership.

- Some models of this vehicle may use Mortorq® fasteners. If your vehicle has these types of fasteners, you will need a PFMTS2E bit to remove them which can be ordered through a Snap-On dealer.
