Hey Stan. To add a hitch to your 2015 Jeep Cherokee, I recommend the etrailer item # e62TR. This is a class III 2" fit that is custom fit. It comes with all hardware necessary for installation and has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity and a 750 lbs maximum tongue weight.

For a 4-way wiring harness, you'll need the Curt item # C56208. This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your Jeep's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side tail lights. It will provide you with a 4-way connector that will control your trailer's lighting functions.

I recommend using the No-Drill Mount for Electrical Mounting Bracket - Short item # 18140 and the item # C42CR bracket. to secure the 4-way connector to your hitch. This will put it in an easy to reach spot and prevent the risk of it falling onto the road.

You'll also need a ball mount. Our etrailer Adjustable 2-Ball Mount item # e66PR includes a 2" and 2-5/16" hitch ball, it has a 6" rise or 6" drop, and a 7,500 lbs or 10,000 lbs capacity.

The prices are all on the right hand side of the individual product pages. What kind of trailer are you pulling?

Hey Stan, did the hitch and wiring setup work out for your Jeep Cherokee? I'm curious to know if it met your needs, as it might help others looking to tow with a similar setup.
