Expert Answers about Jeep Gladiator


  • Fit of etrailer Class III e67AR Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2021 Jeep Gladiator Mojave
  • The etrailer Trailer Hitch # e67AR fits all models of the 2021 Jeep Gladiator including the Mojave trim. If you'll be using the hitch for towing, you'll need a few other items to complete your towing system. For a trailer wiring harness, use # 118786. I'd also recommend a ball mount kit like # 989900.

  • Are Adapters Available To Connect A Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar To A 2020 Jeep Gladiator Bumper
  • If you're referring to D-Ring adapters then Roadmaster currently offers two adapters compatible with your Flacon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 with the only difference being the thickness of the D-Ring. For 3/4" thick D-Rings you'll need part # RM-035 and for 1" thick D-Rings you'll need part # RM-035-1. If you don't have D-Rings then you'll have to go with a standard baseplate and would need to reach out to Roadmaster directly to have them determine fitment with your aftermarket bumper.

  • Options for Carrying a Spare Tire While Flat Towing
  • I have an alternate solution for you. It sounds like you have the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier w/ 2" Receiver Opening # RM-195225 which lowers your hitch receiver 2" and reduces your flat towing capacity to 10,000 lbs. and tongue weight by 33%. Unfortunately, you can not use another adapter like the Roadmaster High-Low Adapter # RM-048-10 (10-1/4" Rise/Drop) in that spare tire carrier hitch receiver. Your best option is going to be to remove the spare tire carrier when flat...

  • Correct Base Plate for Jeep Gladiator Mojave w/ Roadmaster Nighthawk Tow Bar
  • We have a base plate kit that will work for you. The Roadmaster # RM77VR EZ5 base plate kit is compatible with the 2021 Jeep Gladiator Mojave. Because its a direct connect style base plate, it'll work great with the Roadmaster # RM-676 Nighthawk All-Terrain tow bar. The etrailer brand # e98967 base plates aren't compatible with the Gladiator Mojave. To complete your flat towing setup, you'll also need a wiring solution for the Gladiator, a supplemental braking system and possibly a high/low...

  • Correct Trailer Hitch for a 2020 Jeep Gladiator
  • There are two trailer hitches for a 2020 Jeep Gladiator, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # CU74FR which is for Rubicon models and the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DR64FR which is for all other models such as the Overland. They are both bolt-on options with no cutting or drilling required.

  • Will The BedSlide Sliding Truck Bed Tray # BE89ER Fit a 2021 Jeep Gladiator With Molle Panels?
  • The BedSlide Sliding Truck Bed Tray # BE89ER for your 2021 Jeep Gladiator is 57" long, 43" wide and the deck is 4-1/2" above the bed. The side rails will sit 1/2" higher at 5". You will need to compare this with your Molle panels to ensure they will not interfere with each other as we have not tested them on a Jeep like that in our facility. The base is made of a powder coated steel with composite decking above to take the abuse of objects being loaded onto the tray.

  • Can a Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar Be Used On a 2020 Jeep Gladiator with Demco or Blue Ox Plates
  • I do have an option for you but there are no adapters available for the Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar part # RM-501 because this is a tow vehicle mounted tow bar and said adapters will only work with motorhome mounted tow bars. Therefore, your only option will be to sell your Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar and then obtain one that is specially made for either the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit part # DM9519336 for Overland, Sport, Sport S models and part # DM9519339 for Rubicon models or the...

  • Will Blue Ox Base Plate Arms Fit Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plates on 2021 Jeep Gladiator
  • Arms unfortunately not interchangeable between manufacturers, so the arms from your Blue Ox base plates won't fit into the arms of the Roadmaster base plates that fit your 2021 Jeep Gladiator, the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521453-5. If you were looking to do that because you had a Blue Ox tow bar, what you can do instead is use an adapter that will allow you to use a Blue Ox motorhome-mounted tow bar with these plates; the correct part for that is the...

  • Will Blue Ox Base Plates 1142 Fit on 2020 Jeep Gladiator with Factory Steel Bumper and Winch
  • As long as your 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon has the factory steel bumper, the Blue Ox Base Plates # BLU53FR will fit with your winch installed. I was able to confirm this with my contact over at Blue Ox for you. These base plates are compatible with most Blue Ox tow bars, like the Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 10,000 lbs # BX7420, which comes with safety cables included. If you also still need tow bar wiring, supplemental braking or a high low adapter to complete your setup,...

  • Best Flat Tow Wiring Kit for a 2023 Jeep Gladiator
  • The (discontinued) Tekonsha Tail Light Isolating Diode System TR118821 is a reliable kit but it isn't what I would recommend for your 2023 Jeep Gladiator because there are similar kits that are easy to install or are built much better than this one. For something that's easier to install we have the Curt Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit # C96JR which tees in behind the tai lights, but if you wanted something you splice in then I recommend one of the following from Roadmaster, depending on...

  • In order to install a ladder rack like the Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH27000XTB on a 2020 Jeep Gladiator you will need to remove the Trail Rail Tie-Down System then the ladder rack will install as normal. The Trail Rail Tie-Down System can then be reinstalled once the ladder rack is removed. I have attached a full list of ladder rack options below.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for a 6,500 lbs Trailer
  • Since you're keeping your trailer's tongue weight around 650 lbs, I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control item # FA92-00-0800. This system works with trailer's that have a tongue weight range from 400 lbs - 800 lbs. The e2 has built in two point sway control that will help keep your trailer in line with your Lexus when you are driving down the highway. I have linked an installation video below so you can see how this system is set up. This system does not...

  • Is There A Weight Distribution Hitch Compatible w/McHitch On Obi Dweller 13 Pulled By 2022 Gladiator
  • With the McHitch on your Obi Dweller 13 I have a couple recommendations since you will not be able to use a traditional weight distribution hitch. The McHitch changes the pivot point from the ball to the u-joint so it will not work properly with any current weight distribution hitch. Instead you can mount Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F29ZR on your 2022 Jeep Gladiator. This will allow you to take much of the rear end sag out of your rear suspension. You can use the Air Command...
