Hey Rich, thanks for reaching out. Yes we do have base plate options for the 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk with factory tow hooks. There are actually several made for this model so here they are:
- Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521451-5
- Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1143
- etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # e98951
- Curt Custom Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # C98FR
- Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # DM9519340
All of these will work on models with the factory tow hooks. It's worth noting the Roadmaster does not fit models with the active air shutter.
Personally I would go with the etrailer Invisible Base Plate # e98951. Its the best combination of value and quality.
If you are needing a full flat tow setup, here is what I recommend:
- etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar - RV Mount - 2" Hitch - 10,500 lbs # e94ZR
- 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
- Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Braking System for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brakes - Wireless Monitor - Proportional # DM86VR
Its worth noting that 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.
That will cover all the main components. You may end up needing a drop hitch like part # BLU28XR to level your tow bar. I also recommend grabbing a cover # e67FV and lock # e98881 to protect your tow bar, especially if you plan to store it on the back of your RV.
Did you already have flat tow parts you wanted to re use? Or did you need everything?
What coach do you have?
