I have a question concerning tow package/towing with a 2014 Cherokee Latitude with a 3.2 engine.
Background: I have always had vehicles with factory installed hitches in the past, this is my first Jeep and first vehicle that did not come equipped with a tow package when I purchased the vehicle. I have read the owners manual which leads me to my question. According to the owner's manual my vehicle has a tow capacity of 2000 pounds with out a tow package and 4500 pounds with a tow package.
My questions is this, what constitutes a tow package? Is it a class 3 hitch installed regardless of who installs it or is it a package that comes directly from the factory?
Thank you for any and all information in this matter.
