Expert Reply:

The Roadmaster Falcon 5250 is compatible with the quick disconnects and all Roadmaster base plate kits. There are a few options for your 2012 Jeep Liberty depending on how it is equipped. If it does not have a rockguard or skid plate then use # 521433-1. If it does have a rockguard or skid plate use # 521434-1. I have included links to the instructions for the first set and a video install of the second set.

In addition to the base plates and tow bar you will also need safety chains like # RM-643. For a lighting solution Hopkins makes a plug-in simple wiring harness, # HM56204. a extension to go from the front of the vehicle to the RV is recommended, # RM-300150-00. I have linked instructions for the wiring for you.

Most states now require a supplemental braking system on the vehicle being flat towed. I have included a link to the different braking systems that will fit your vehicle. Please note that if the Liberty has an active power assist braking system the 9700 and Even Brake will not work.

You will also want to consult the vehicle owners manual to determine the proper recreational towing procedure. I have also included helpful links to our series of FAQ articles on flat towing for you.
