Hello William,

Congrats on the new Jeep! What is your favorite new upgrade? I can definitely get you the right parts you need for your 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe.

Blue Ox Base Plate Kit:

- If your Jeep has tow hooks and no lower air shutters: # BLU68CR

- If your Jeep doesn't have tow hooks and no lower air shutters: # BLU98CR

Wiring:

- Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles – 7-Way to 6-Way Coiled Adapter Cord: # RM-15267

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

-Roadmaster Universal Stop Light Switch Kit: # RM-751000 (You need this switch kit if the brake lights do not work with the towed vehicle's ignition key turned to the "tow" position. It provides a signal to the supplemental braking system.)

Sounds like you might just be getting a new vehicle set up to flat tow. You might not need the cord from the # RM-15267 to go from the coach to the towed vehicle, but it's more cost-effective to get the kit than to piece it together. Plus, it doesn't hurt to have an extra cord.

If you need any tow bars, braking systems, or safety chains, please let me know. I also included a link to a great help article on flat towing, it’s a great read whether you’re a seasoned flat tower or new to the flat tow world.

So, where are you headed for your first trip once you get the new car all set up?

Hey William, how did things go getting the Blue Ox base plate and Roadmaster wiring set up on your Grand Cherokee? Your update could make it easier for the next person setting up a similar flat tow.
