In order to flat-tow your your 2021 Jeep Gladiator with a factory plastic bumper, you will need base plates, a tow bar, a tow braking system, and vehicle tow wiring. Here's a setup of the following parts you need:
- etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # e98948
- etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar - RV Mount - 2" Hitch # e34ZR (comes with safety cables)
- Brake Buddy Classic 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39494
- Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-152-1676-7
The great thing about the etrailer base plate kit is that is simply installs into your Gladiator's chassis. It comes with all required hardware. As far as the SD tow bar, it allows for you to easily release your vehicle even in uneven ground and simply slides into the RV's hitch receiver without the need of a ball mount. In addition, you will also receive the ability to select different presets on the Brake Buddy Classic 3 that applies your Gladiator's brakes with different levels of intensity when it senses the braking action of your RV. With the diode kit, this will allow you to connect your RV's tail, brake, and turn signal lights to your Wrangler's lighting system.
This setup will give you everything you need in order to flat-tow your 2021 Jeep Gladiator with your factory plastic bumper. If you need any assistance installing any of these parts, I went ahead and linked videos that walk you through the process.
