Hey Carl, welcome back! For a Blue Ox setup to flat tow your 2022 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk I recommend the following:

-Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1143

-Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7380 (includes safety cables)

-Roadmaster Smart Diode Kit for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights - 7-Way to 6-Way Adapter Cord # RM63MR

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

-Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brakes # SM99251

OR

-Demco Air Force One Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Air Brakes # SM99243

The core of the setup is Blue Ox with the base plate and tow bar. For the wiring, Roadmaster is the best and most reliable so we use that on almost all of our installations. Demco makes some of the best brake systems out there so if you want a permanently installed system this is the way to go. You need to choose based on whether you have hydraulic or air brakes in your motorhome. If you want a portable system, the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR is also an option.

The only other thing you may need is a high-low adapter to keep your setup level. I attached an article further down on this page which explains how to measure and choose the right adapter. The bracket height of the Blue Ox base plate is 20" so you can use that, along with your RV hitch measurement, to find the correct adapter. The article and this answer page also have a link to our available high low adapters which you can filter by rise/drop.
