Since the ride quality is rougher at the rear of fifth wheel trailers and platform bike racks are longer and heavier there are only hanging style 4-bike racks that are rated for this type of application. The one I recommend is the Yakima LongHaul part # Y02476 which has cushioned frame cradles and is easier to load with it's zip straps. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top... view full answer...
The towing mirrors I recommend for a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited are the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors part # KS69ZR. These mirrors are easy to install and will do a great job of providing a wider field of view so you can see your trailer and what's going on around.
You should note they don't make any custom clip-on towing mirrors for the Jeep Wrangler so the above universal type are the only option but they do work great. view full answer...
I have just the simple solution you are looking for to easily add a 7-way and brake controller to your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited...
Basically you have to start out first with a 4-way which covers the lighting circuits of the trailer wiring. For that the easiest and most reliable solution is the Curt kit part # C56407 which installs by plugging inline with the taillight connectors of the Jeep. I attached an install video to use as a guide for this to make it as easy as possible.

For a base plate kit that fits your 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited you'd want the part # RM-521453-5 which would work great with the Nighthawk part # RM-677. Then for the 2014 Ford F-150 you'd want the # RM-524431-5.
Then for the lighting solution you'd want the part # RM-15267. Which most of this will work between the two tow bars you'd want the # RM-154 with the socket kit # RM-910030-7.
And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest... view full answer...
The Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR is a fantastic trailer brake controller and is what I recommend for your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited due to it only having the control knob visible which is great to not take up any knee room in your Jeep, and keeps the interior looking unchanged unlike other controllers.
Since your Jeep has the factory tow package you will be able to use the Plug-in adapter # 3073-P you mentioned, but you will also need the Redarc Tow-Pro... view full answer...
All of the JL Wrangler Unlimited hitches we carry will work on the JK Wrangler Unlimited models, but there are some JK model hitches that are not compatible with the JL Wranglers based on fit guide from the manufacturer because they have a shorter receiver. The bolt mounting holes are in the exact same location.
Unless you are doing rock crawling, I recommend getting the longer receiver like the # e98856 or Curt # C13392 which will allow more accessories such as bike racks and cargo... view full answer...
I have another option for you, but the Miro-Flex LED Trailer Clearance Light # OPT78FR you were looking at is not available with a red lens.
The closest option with a red lens is the LED Clearance or Side Marker Light w/ Reflector # MCL76RB which measures 5-13/16" long x 2" wide and mounting holes that are 4-13/16" apart on center as you can see in the included diagram.
I included a video review of the # MCL76RB for you to take a look at. view full answer...
The two Demco base plate kits fit different versions of your 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Since you have a Sahara the kit you'd want is the part # DM9519336 as this fits the Sahara and the Sport models whereas the part # DM9519339 fits Rubicon and Moab models. view full answer...
The only bike rack solution we are going to be able to offer at this time for a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL with the spare tire mounted light/camera is going to be a hitch solution. You'd need a hitch installed like the etrailer.com hitch part # e98856 and a bike rack with plenty of clearance to fit past the spare like the Thule Hitching Post Pro part # TH934XTR which would work well. view full answer...
The Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screening # RM-4750 is a fit for your Roadmaster base plates and NightHawk tow bar. This will work well to keep road debris from hitting the front of your Jeep.
I don't know why you are getting a burnt rubber smell, but it likely isn't going to be impacted by adding this screen for road debris. view full answer...
I do have an option for you but most roof top tents are designed to attach to standard crossbars, not a platform tray. I spoke with Rhino-Rack and although they were not able to recommend any specific manufacturer, they were able to say that most customers who use a roof top tent with the platform tray do so by drilling directly into the tray as there is not an attachment for this. Therefore, in order to attach a roof top tent like the Yakima SkyRise HD Tent part # Y07436 on the Rhino-Rack... view full answer...
For your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL what you'd need is the Roadmaster Base Plate kit part # RM-521453-4 which is confirmed as a fit for your vehicle and will work well with your Roadmaster Stowmaster # RM-501.
Then for wiring you'd need the part # RM-146 as a 6-way to 6-way coiled adapter and then for the wiring and diodes part # RM-152 and you'd be set. view full answer...
For a similar trailer hitch receiver, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13392. This is a confirmed fit for 2018 to present JL Wranglers.
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13432 is a fit for the 2018 JK Wrangler models only.
If you need trailer wiring, I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118786. This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited's wiring harness, which is located behind the... view full answer...
For your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL, I recommend starting with the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5. This kit has removable arms to give you a very clean look when not flat towing your Jeep, and also gives you a clean connection to your tow bar when towing behind your motorhome. I recommend installing this base plate using Loctite threadlocker # LT37420 to keep your hardware from vibrating loose over time.
For your tow bar, I recommend the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding... view full answer...
The Steel Bumper Group/Package of the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon has the removable end caps to convert to a stubby along with being winch ready. The Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM9519339 is compatible with this and would work well.
Demco has several excellent tow bar options that you can use:
Commander III # DM9511013 is rated for 6,000 pounds and is a non-binding tow bar which makes hookup and disconnect easy even on uneven terrain.
Excali-Bar II # DM9511009 is rated for 10,500... view full answer...
A brake controller would be what you would need to tow a trailer that weighs 3,500 lbs. Since you have factory 7-way there's a really easy solution with the Curt Echo Mobile Brake Controller # C51180. Once plugged into a 7-way and synced to a smart phone it's ready to tow. view full answer...
While I cannot confirm a brake controller wiring harness for the 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited there is still a way to install a brake controller. First you would need a 4-Way wiring harness.
We do have trailer wiring harnesses for the 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited. For models without the factory tow package Curt has # C56407 and Tekonsha has # 118786. There is a note on the Tekonsha harness though that states it does not currently work with Rubicon or Sahara models.

For your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited the T-One trailer wiring kit part # 118786 is a confirmed fit and would be what we recommend. This is our most reliable brand of trailer wiring so it's the way to go.
Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way.
If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185 and a brake controller. This kit comes with everything needed to wire up... view full answer...
I do have a potential solution for you, however if the trailer manufacturer lists a 100 pound tongue weight capacity for the rear hitch on the Intech Rover, you won't be able to transport both your e-bikes on the trailer. You are always going to be limited by the weakest component, so even if the hitch itself is rated for more (or you replace it with an even stronger trailer hitch), you still need to adhere to the 100 pound capacity listed in the trailer specs.
