Recommended Flat Towing Components For A 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL
Question:
I need a front complete towing hitch for a Jeep Wrangler 2018 JL 4door model with plastic standard front bumper

Expert Reply:
To flat tow your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL you'll need a baseplate, tow bar, and safety cables for the physical connection. I recommend the following components:
Baseplate: etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98948.
Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e34ZR. This tow bar includes safety cables so you won't have to purchase them separately.
You'll also need a light kit to transfer your motorhome's traffic signals to the Jeep and a braking system, for these I have the following recommendations:
Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267.
Braking System: If your motorhome has hydraulic brakes then you'll want the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251. Since the brake light switch wire for your Jeep isn't useable you'll also need theRoadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751490 to get the signal for the indicator light.
If your motorhome has air brakes then you'll need the Demco Air Force One # SM99243 instead. This system has a reed switch so you won't need the stop light switch kit in order to get the signal for the indicator light.
