We can get your 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave set up for flat towing, and I did verify with Roadmaster the exact base plates that fit the Mojave model, and will work with the Nighthawk tow bar. I'll also go ahead and list out the rest of the parts for the complete flat tow set up in case you need them.

- Base Plate Kit: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM77VR

- Tow Bar: Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-676

- Wiring Kit (For Jeep WITH ParkSense Proximity Sensors): Roadmaster Wiring Kit with Smart Diodes # RM47ZR
or
(For Jeep WITHOUT ParkSense Proximity Sensors): Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-152

- Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751497

- Supplemental Braking System: Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # DM86VR

- Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Wire Kit # DM66VR

The Direct Connect base plates are specifically made to fit your Mojave, and the Nighthawk tow bar will easily attach to them with its pins and clips, and unhooking is also super simple with its latching system. So even if you are on uneven ground, all you have to do is flip up the latches on the Nighthawk's arms and that allows you to disconnect smoothly. The Nighthawk also has integrated safety cables and an electrical cord included, so you don't have to purchase those, all you'll need is the correct wiring kit to compete that set up.

For that, the right wiring kit is going to depend on if your '22 Gladiator has the ParkSense proximity sensors, so you'll want to be sure to verify if you have that feature to get the right kit. The Stop Light Switch is needed to ensure the braking system gets the proper signal. And as for the braking system, I really like the Stay-In-Play because not only is it a one-time install so you don't have to continually set it up, but it also gives you braking proportional to that of your motorhome. So when you hit the brakes on your motorhome, your Gladiator is going to get the same amount of braking power for much smoother braking.

Finally, the only other thing I recommend considering, in order to keep rocks and other debris from hitting your Gladiator while you are flat towing it, is the Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screening # RM-4750.
