Question:

I want to tow my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited behind my Class A Gas motorhome. I want your opinion on the best product setup for flat tow. Also, I havent been able to find pictures of the base plate installation for Roadmaster or Blue Ox on that model year Jeep does one look better than the other?

Expert Reply:

The items you will need to flat tow your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee are base plates, tow bar, tow bar wiring and a braking system for towed vehicle.

For base plates, I recommend the Roadmaster # RM-521440-4 as these will work with several versions of your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited as long as it's not an SRT-8 model. The steel construction is computer cut providing awesome strength. Within the instructions you will find numerous installation photos.

Next, you will need tow bar. The Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain # RM-522 will complement the base plates nicely. Hooking up and disconnecting will be easy because the tow bar is self-centering and aligning. The built-in cable guide is a great addition to keep your wiring and cables safe.

Tow bar wiring is essential and Roadmaster # RM-2120 requires no splicing into your Jeep's electrical system. This uses a typical 4 pin connector.

Last but not least, I recommend the Roadmaster braking system # RM-9400. It has proportional braking for quicker and safer stops. The stop light switch kit # RM-751449 is a requirement for proper usage as it activates your RV monitoring system to alert you when the brakes of your towed car are being applied.

I have included a FAQ and a few installation videos for you as well.
