Expert Reply:
For your 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon, if you have the Rubicon Hard Rock Edition you will need # BX1134 otherwise the Blue Ox Baseplates # BX1126 are a confirmed fit. I recommend using Loctite Threadlocker # LT37420 with this installation.
If you don't already have the other components, I'll give you a recommendation so you can get a complete flat towing setup. For a tow bar, I recommend the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar - Motor Home Mount - 6,500 lbs # BX7380. This will come with the pin and clip as well as the safety cables you need. I do recommend getting the locks # BX88101 to secure your investment.
For your vehicle wiring, I recommend the Hopkins Wiring # HM56200 which gives you a simple plug and play connection to your factory wiring behind your tail lights.
For supplemental braking system, I recommend the the Blue Ox Patriot Radio Frequency, Portable Braking System - Proportional # BRK2019. This system simply plugs into a 12V outlet and will wirelessly connect to your tow vehicle. It is easy to install on your Jeep floorboard and simply connects to the brake pedal. It will require the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400 to keep the motorhome and your Jeep synced.
The last thing you will need is a high low adapter. I've attached an article to assist you in getting what you need and have linked the page to your options for convenience.
This is all you will need for your flat towing setup on your 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon.
