Expert Reply:
The Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # RM-677 you mentioned would require a Blue Ox base plate kit for your 2020 Jeep Gladiator. But the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1134 you mentioned is not a fit for your Gladiator. You would need the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU53FR.
But I recommend going with the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5 with the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-676 (for Roadmaster base plate kits). The reason for this, is that Roadmaster comes with a limited lifetime warranty while Blue Ox has a 3-year warranty.
To flat tow your 2020 Jeep Gladiator you would also need tow bar wiring and a supplemental braking system.
Tow Bar Wiring: Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154
Supplemental Braking System: Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251
You will also need the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751497 (this is needed for any braking system in your Gladiator).
