Question:
Will I be able to open my tailgate if I pit this hitch on my 2024 TAB 400? I drive a 2016 Grand Cherokee. Thank you, Cindy

Hey Cindy, that would depend on a few things but a good indicator would be if the rear door of your 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee is hitting the manual jack your 2024 TAB 400 has currently. If so, then yeah it would definitely hit the powered jack part # e55ZV.
If it's pretty close currently then it might not hit it but one solution would be a ball mount that is longer to get the distance further out and would prevent the interference. I would need to know the amount of drop your current ball mount has and the distance from the hitch pin hole to the ball hole center to see if we have a longer option.
