Expert Answers about Jeep Gladiator


  • Can Demco Stay N Play DUO Install on RV that Has Air Brakes
  • It's not recommended to try and use the Demco Stay N Play DUO on a vehicle with air brakes but Demco does make a conversion kit for your exact situation with the Towed Car Conversion Kit - Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO to Air Force One Supplemental Braking System # SM99233 which comes with everything needed to make conversion. The problem with the DUO and air brakes is the exhaust brake setup and how the brake lights don't always illuminate when they are used which is what the DUO uses to...

  • Recommendation to Lock Malone SaddleUp Kayak Carrier to Thule TracRac TracONE Ladder Rack
  • The best way to lock the Malone SaddleUp Pro Kayak Carrier # MPG1001 to the Thule TracRac TracONE # TH27000XTB on your 2020 Jeep Gladiator is by using a cable lock like the part # e98891. You could order 2 of these and use one to wrap through the brackets for the SaddleUp and around the crossbars of the ladder rack. Since the SaddleUp isn't designed to add locks and the TracONE doesn't have locks for the ends of the crossbars a cable lock is your best option.

  • Can I Attach A Rhino-Rack Backbone With Pioneer Platform To My 2020 Jeep Gladiator
  • I do have a Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform that fits your 2020 Jeep Gladiator.

It comes with the platform, the Backbone mounting system, 4 legs, and 4 spacer blocks.

  • Tonneau Cover and Rack System for 2020 Jeep Gladiator to Carry Kayaks
  • There are tonneau covers and roof rack systems for your 2020 Jeep Gladiator that will allow you to carry kayaks, but ladder racks (truck bed racks) are not compatible with a tonneau cover on your Gladiator. The reason is all the ladder rack systems for your Jeep require the use of the inside bed rails to clamp on and install, which would interfere with a tonneau cover. If you want to forego a tonneau cover you can install a rack system, the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder...

  • Tow Mirror Recommendation for 2020 Jeep Gladiator
  • For your 2020 Jeep Gladiator we have the CIPA tow mirrors part # 11953-2 which will fit and work great. These install easily, mount securely, and since they have a dual view mirror on either side gives you the best visibility overall. We had a chance to install these on a 2020 Gladiator and found they fit really well. Check out the install video link I attached to see the install and demo of them.

  • Flat Towing Procedures and Setup for 2020 Jeep Gladiator
  • On the Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Truck models the steering wheel does not actually lock with the ignition in the off position, it just has a loss of power steering-which is likely what you're experiencing. Jeep removed the steering wheel lock from their models in 2008, I believe, so even without a key in the ignition you'll be able to turn the wheels; it's just going to be really difficult. With that being said, in order to flat tow you'll need to have the transfer case set to N (neutral)....

  • Best Brake Controller for a 2023 Jeep Gladiator with the Factory Tow Package
  • The absolute best brake controller for your 2023 Jeep Gladiator with the tow package is the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite and the corresponding wiring adapter: - Tow-Pro Elite # RED63RR - Custom Wiring Adapter # 3073-P I really like this option for 2 reasons; the first being that the control knob can be installed virtually anywhere in your cab for a truly custom application, and the second being that this controller has both proportional and user-control braking options. Proportional is your...

  • How Level Does a Tow Bar Need to Be When Flat Towing a Vehicle
  • This is a really good question. So a tow bar needs to be 3 inches with level going either direction. So 3 inches up on the towed vehicle side or 3 inches up on the tow vehicle side. Most likely you will also need a high low adapter so that the tow bar will be level when you are flat towing. I attached a link to a page that has all of the ones we carry.

  • Winch Cover Recommendation for a Badlands Apex 1200
  • The Bulldog Winch Neoprene Cover # BDW20191 you're looking at measures about 18" long x 8" tall x 6" wide without it being stretched out. This sounds a little small for your Badlands Apex 1200 winch so I recommend checking out the Bulldog Winch Winch Cover # BDW20046 instead because it measures 21" long x 8" x wide x 11" tall.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2020 Jeep Gladiator Mojave
  • We have the parts needed to flat tow your 2020 Jeep Gladiator Mojave but you should know that the Primus brake controller you mentioned can't be used with a flat towing setup. It can only be used to activate trailer brakes but we can help still and it won't require you to remove the controller. First you'd need to start with a base plate kit like the Roadmaster part # RM-521453-5 which is a confirmed fit for your 2020 Jeep Gladiator Mojave. In addition to the base plates, you will also...

  • Base Plate Kit for 2021 Jeep Gladiator with Steel Front Bumper and Warn Winch Plate
  • I looked up the Warn winch plate that fits your 2021 Jeep Gladiator and I can't find any reason why it would prevent the install of a base plate kit like the Roadmaster part # RM-521453-5 that is a confirmed fit. 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. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which makes the setup very easy...

  • Recommended Towing Mirrors For a 2022 Jeep Gladiator Towing A Travel Trailer
  • I recommend the CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirrors # CM11952-2 for your 2022 Jeep Gladiator. These mirrors will have a similar rectangle shape to your factory mirrors which will allow them fit nicely against your mirrors. The mirror can be placed vertically or horizontally allowing you to choose your view and have additional angle to see the side of your trailer.

  • The Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit, # RM67VR, is for the Mojave trim package.

  • What Ladder Rack is Compatible with a BAK Revolver X4 on a 2020 Jeep Gladiator?
  • I have an alternative for you. Unfortunately, since the Yakima HD-style racks install inside the bed's rails, they are not compatible with BAK Revolver X4s Hard Tonneau Cover - Roll Up - Aluminum and Vinyl # BAK88ZR on a 2020 Jeep Gladiator. For a great alternative ladder rack that will allow you to use your BAKFlip MX4, I recommend the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - Matte Black - 500 lbs # A38ZR. Since the Pro Series ladder rack attaches in the stake pockets,...

  • Recommended Harness To Install Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller On 2020 Jeep Gladiator
  • To install the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR you were looking at on your 2020 Jeep Gladiator you will need the Universal Wiring Harness for Redarc Tow-Pro # RED69FR. If you Gladiator has the Factory Tow Package you can use the Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter # 3073-P to plug into the factory connector underneath the dash, but you will need to cut off the black connector that would go to the trailer brake controller and use Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05744-5 to connect...

  • For your 2021 Jeep Gladiator we have the Yakima Overhaul HD ladder rack part # Y01151-58 as a confirmed fit. For an assisted kayak carrier that would fit the top channels of this rack you'd want the Hullavator part # TH898 or for a J-style that's not assisted # S512 with the adapter # KC-FK8 would work.

  • Based on the wheel size you have the correct Trimax is the 400 part # TMX65FR that you referenced. This fits wheel diameters that are between 10 and 18 so your 15 inch wheel would be perfect.

  • Best Weight Distribution System To Use With a Lifted Jeep Gladiator Towing A Trailer With 11" Drop
  • First you will need the Equalizer Weight-Dist Shank # EQ44FR. This shank is capable of a 12", 10-3/4", 9-1/2" or 8-1/4" drop. To select the proper weight distribution system to work with this you will need to find the tongue weight and total weight of the trailer. For a trailer with a tongue weight of 200-600lbs and maximum trailer weight of 6,000lbs or under the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution # EQ37061ET will be the hitch you need. This system will include a 2" hitch ball that will...

  • Recommended Roadmaster Items to Flat Tow 2021 Jeep GladiatorFlat Tow 2021 Jeep Gladiator
  • If you want to use the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Tow Bar, (a great top of the line option) # RM-676 then I suggest the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit, # RM-521453-5. The Nighthawk All Terrain, # RM-676 comes with needed safety cables and has an RV type 7-way at one end with the 6-way socket for vehicle on the opposite.
