Hey Jan, thanks for reaching out. We can provide everything you need to flat tow your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. Here is what I recommend:

- etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # e98950

- 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

That will cover all the main components. You may end up needing a drop hitch like part # BLU28XR to compensate for any height differences between the base plate arms and the hitch on your RV. Any difference of more than 3" requires a drop hitch.

I also recommend grabbing a hitch lock # e98881 and cover # e76FV to protect your tow bar. Especially if you plan to store it on the back of the RV.

Have you flat towed before? What will be your first trip once you get set up?

@JanM Ok nice congrats on the new Jeep. The parts list will be similar to the Grand Cherokee but there are a few differences. Here is the full list for a 2026 Wrangler Sport S: - etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # e98948 - 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 - Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751490 One important note for these new Wranglers, if it is equipped with the ParkSense feature, you'll want to use the # RM63MR diode wiring kit instead of the # RM-15267 mentioned above.

We purchased that plate assembly, and it worked absolutely flawless, definitely a few hours to install, but came out perfect

I purchased the e-trailer base plate for our 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The e-trailer installation video was spot on and made the installation a breeze. The hardest part was cutting the openings for the for the receivers in the lower grill. My A.D.D may have made it hard than it really was. Looks good and works great. Definitely recommend the e-trailer base plate.
