The etrailer brand # e98952 base plates are a fit for the 2014 - 2018 Jeep Cherokee 4WD Trailhawk edition, so it will fit your 2017 Cherokee Trailhawk as long as its a 4WD model. FWD models must be towed on a tow dolly like # RM-2050-1.
There is an adapter available, part # DM9523127 which will allow the base plate to work with with the following Blue Ox Tow Bars:
-Aventa II
-Avail
-Aventa LX
-Adventurer
-Aladdin
-Alpha
-Acclaim
-Allure
I don't have any installation footage for the # e98952, but do have install footage of the identical Demco # DM9519308 base plates. I've linked the install video showing base plates being installed on a 2018 Cherokee.
