When the Ark Articulating Off-Road Coupler for 2" Receivers - Trailer Side - 2" Ball # AR44FR is unlocked you will see a red area on the opposite side that says unlock. This means the coupler is ready to go onto the hitch ball. After you align the coupler and lower it onto the tow ball it will engage the auto lock and you will see the green "arm" indicating it is locked on.
I have attached a review video where this is demonstrated and you can see it switch from red to green after connecting... view full answer...

The installation instructions we have linked on the Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking System w/ Wireless Coachlink # DM26VR product page does show the air line connections for a Spartan K2 chassis with air brakes. From what I've seen this looks to be the same for your Spartan K3 chassis.
I'm attaching a photo from the instructions showing the Spartan K2 connection. I recommend comparing that to what you have as well as looking at the rest of the linked... view full answer...
The # RED67FR brake controller wiring harness is compatible with both the # RED44FR Tow-Pro Elite and the # RED24FR Tow-Pro Liberty brake controllers, but the it's not compatible with the Jeep Gladiator. The good news is that we do offer a harness arrangement that would allow either controller to install on your Gladiator.
You'll need both the # 3073-P and the # 331-TPH-017 adapter if you go with the Tow-Pro Elite or if you decide that the lower-cost proportional # RED24FR Liberty model... view full answer...
The Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender with Load Roller # MAL32VR has multiple height settings to allow it to be both a bed extender or roof rack extension. If you tilt the extender up at the connection point closest to the trailer hitch on your Gladiator then it will sit closer to roof rack height. There's also multiple different heights settings for the other end as well if you remove the pin and clip and slide it up to the desired height, allowing it to match up with your roof... view full answer...
There are a couple of pretty big differences between the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DR64FR and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # CU74FR that fit your 2020 Jeep Gladiator, and I'll go over them so you can decide which trailer hitch is the better option for you.
The first big difference is the install, with the Draw-Tite hitch being a more "traditional" install that secures to your Jeep's trailer frame using a combination of existing hardware and supplied hardware. The Curt hitch,... view full answer...
Your 2020 Jeep Gladiator is flat towable with a Blue Ox tow bar with the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BLU53FR. Your vehicle is definitely not too heavy to be flat towed.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. One of the most popular compatible tow bars is the Blue Ox Avail # BX7420 which comes with safety cables. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. Sounds... view full answer...
The Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System Item # SM99251 requires the yellow and green wire to be tied into the wiring going to the towed vehicle lights. Per Demco, as long as the Cooltech wiring system ties into the light system on the towed vehicle and the green and yellow wire from the braking system can be connected to it then it will work. The diodes in the diode wiring kit Item # RM-15267 are only to protect the wiring on the towed vehicle from back feed coming from... view full answer...

Installing something like a bull bar on your 2020 Jeep Gladiator could possibly affect any cameras or sensors located at the front of your Jeep. Please note that there currently are no Aries bull bars (or other brands) that fit your Gladiator. The only thing we currently have that is a confirmed fit is the Aries Pro Series Grille Guard with a Mesh LED Cover Plate # AAP1053 and since it is fairly large I would imagine that it has an affect on your sensors. view full answer...
I looked up the owner's manual for your 2022 Jeep Gladiator. According to the manual, if you have a 4-wheel drive Gladiator, the ignition should be in the ACC position. However, if you must use the accessories (wipers, defrosters, etc.) while being towed, the ignition must be in the ON/RUN position. Since the owner's manual does not specify whether the steering will lock, I recommend reaching out to your local Jeep dealer to see if they can provide you with that information.

The Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch # 65079 will mount to the front frame stanchion on your 2020 Jeep Gladiator, and won't come anywhere near the wheel, where the sway bar is disconnected on your Gladiator, so there's nothing to worry about. This front hitch has a 500-lbs vertical load limit and a 9000-lbs pull rating, so it's a great option for any Jeep.
I've linked an installation video of this hitch for you to have a look at. view full answer...
Yes the Draw Tite hitch part # DR64FR does fit the Mojave versions of the 2020 Jeep Gladiator. If you need trailer wiring as well the Tekonsha kit part # 118786 is a confirmed fit that is the easiest to install and most reliable. view full answer...
I do have a workaround for you but straight out of the box there are no locks for the Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH27000XTB for your 2020 Jeep Gladiator.
The workaround is that the Thule Xsporter Pro # TH500XTB does come with a locking device for 2 of the legs (one for the front and one for the back) and since the clamps for these systems have the same dimensions you can just purchase extra clamps and the extra hardware to add locks to the TracONE.

We haven't had the chance to install the Demco SBS Air Force One Supplemental Braking System # SM99243 on a 2020 Jeep Gladiator, but I checked with a couple of our in house installers, and they said it typically takes them a whole day (about 8 hours) to complete the install from start to finish. Now, some of that time they spend filming the installation, but they are also working in a professional setting with commercial lifts and all the necessary tools readily available as well, so in... view full answer...

I have added a cutout of the linked installation instructions for the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DR64FR that fits your 2020 Jeep Gladiator which show that you do not have to drill to install the hitch on your Jeep. When putting this hitch on your Jeep you will use the existing factory bolts along with a pair of the supplied carriage bolts, nuts and washers. You only need to lift the hitch in place and secure it.
This will give your Gladiator a hitch with a hidden crosstube so your... view full answer...
Aside from the diagram in the linked instructions for the InvisiBrake # RM-8700 (see attached) the next best thing we have is an installation video of the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 4-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15247 being installed on a 2021 Jeep Gladiator that I'm linking for you to check out. If you jump to the 6:38 minute mark in the linked video you can see where we make our connections behind the tail lights.

In regards to installing a diode wiring harness like the Blue Ox Tow Bar Wiring Kit part # BX8848 on a 2022 Jeep Gladiator, you'll need to test the circuits to ensure you are selecting the correct wires. The wire colors can change from year to year and with certain options. In the past, the driver side has been solid yellow for the stop/turn and the passenger side has also been solid yellow or solid green for the stop/turn. The running light wire has been solid white or white/orange. This... view full answer...
