Expert Answers about Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

• Differences Between Curt Cargo Carriers part # C18152 and C18150
• To put it simply...the difference is 4 inches. The platform of the # C18150 measures 20 inches by 60 inches and the part # C18152 measures 24 by 60 inches. Also, the shank of the # C18152 is a bit longer which would be better for you. It has a distance of 11 inches from the center of the hitch pin to the nearest rail whereas the # C18150 has 7-1/2 inches there. I attached a review video that shows the # C18150 being used on a 2015 Wrangler Unlimited just like yours as well.

• What is the Difference Between the Roadmaster EZ4 and EZ5 Base Plate Kits on a 2021 Jeep Wrangler
• That is a great question because overall there is not much of a difference. The difference between the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit (EZ4) # RM-521453-4 and the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit (EZ5) # RM-521453-5 is going to be in what type of tow bar attaches to each base plate. The # RM-521453-4 (EZ4) will use a crossbar style tow bar like the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plates # e44ZR. The # RM-521453-5 (EZ5) will use a direct...

• What is the Difference Between Pioneer and Backbone Systems for a 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
• Great question! The Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack with Backbone Mounting System # JB0893 and # JB0892 are basically the same thing, but the difference is that the # JB0893 has the Rhino-Rack quick-release leg system. This means that if you plan on removing the platform rack and then putting it back on then this would be the better option because you just have to squeeze 2 levers on the inside of the feet instead of having to remove hardware. Aside from that both systems are the same....

• Can I Monitor The Braking System In The Motorhome When Using The Roadmaster InvisiBrake System?
• Although the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700 doesn't have a fancy transmitter/ receiver like the RoadMaster Even Brake System # RM-9430, the InvisiBrake system does have a LED monitor that illuminates when your towed vehicle's brakes have been activated. It lets you know if the brakes have been on for too long with an audible alert. at that point the system will automatically begin to release pressure after 15 seconds of continuous braking. The InvisiBrake system...

• Which System Is Best Between The Curt TruTrack & The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System?
• When it comes to choosing between the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # C17499 and the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37100ET you'll want to take a couple of things into consideration: 1. Both systems have integrated sway control. 2. Both systems have a no-drill installation. & 3. Both systems are rated for about the same, with one system having a maximum tongue weight range of 500-800lbs, and the other at 600-1,000lbs. However...

• Recommended Draw-Tite Hitch For A 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
• When installed on a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, the Draw-Tite 76104 will measure 6" and the Draw-Tite # DT78MR will measure 6-3/8", so it will be slightly longer (diagrams included). These are pretty similar to each other and do have the same weight capacities, but the safety chain loops and wire harness are in different locations. Between the two, I prefer the # DT78MR, but that is just personal preference.

• Curt vs. etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
• The only difference between the Curt and etrailer trailer hitch receivers that fit your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is the power coat finish on the hitch: - Matte Black: etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98856 - Gloss Black: Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13392 Apart from that the hitches have the same ratings, install, and clearances. I like the matte black more because it hides scratches and dings better than the glossier finish (plus it looks a bit more rugged). Otherwise, if the...

• The only difference between the base plates for your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is that one, the Blue Ox, has mounting tabs for a connector plug, while the Curt does not: - Connector Plug Mounting Tabs: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1139 - No Mounting Tabs: Curt Custom Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # C68FR I have added a photo below showing the mounting tabs of the Blue Ox base plate so you can see exactly what I am referring to. Apart from that though, the two base...

• Roadmaster Direct-Connect vs Crossbar-Style Base Plates for 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
• The main difference between the Roasmaster # RM-521453-5 (previously known as EZ5) and # RM-521453-4 (previously known as EZ4) base plate kits for your 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, is that the RM-521453-5 is a Direct-Connect style, meaning your motor-home mounted tow bar attaches directly to the base plate's removable arms, without the need for a crossbar. This is the easiest to connect and disconnect, and it also makes your tow-bar about 20 lbs lighter, so the # RM-521453-5 is your best...

• What Is The Difference Between The Bestop PowerBoard NX # B7565215 & # B7515215?
• Both running boards will fit your 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited but the NX PowerBoard # B7565215 gives you 6 to 9 inches down. So this would be useful if you had a lift or bigger tires on your Jeep as it'll help you get up into the vehicle. The other set # B7515215 is only 2 to 6 inches. This would be if you had a completely stock Jeep wrangler. Both are the same in every way besides the amount of drop you need.

• Are Direct Connect Plates Strong Enough To Flat Tow 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
• The reason the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5 for your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited does not use a crossbar for the tow bar is due to the design of the removable arms that connect directly to the tow bar instead of requiring a tow bar. There is not a hidden cross bar on the base plate. You are correct that the crossbar adds strength to the system, but on Jeeps like yours direct connect base plates are plenty strong and are the most common option due to them allowing...

• Towed Vehicle Braking System Options for Flat-Towed 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
• The main benefit of tapping into the RV air brakes for a toad braking setup is that there is a direct connection between the motorhome braking and the towed vehicle's braking. There is no time delay and there are no sensors that need to react to changes to the vehicle's inertia before they do anything. In short, there is synchronization between the two braking systems. As you noted, installation of such systems is a lot more intrusive and complicated. Since you have intentions to trade...

• Comparing the Swagman Titan and the Thule Hitching Post Pro
• When comparing the Swagman Titan, part # S63410, and the Thule Hitching Post Pro, part # TH934XTR, there are two main factors that put the Thule above the Swagman. The first is the material used. Thule is known for the exceptionally-well crafted racks, and the Hitching Post Pro is made of high--strength aluminum and steel. The Swagman is solidly built, but the Thule is just a little better in this arena. The second is how they handle on the road. I've linked to videos of both of these...

• Comparison Of Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System vs SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs
• Both are great jounce-style systems that have similar functions. The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, Item # TJRJK, is designed to provide support and stability with vehicles that are carrying heavy loads. The Timbrens are a stiffer spring that are really designed for heavy lifting often associated with trucks and their loads and so they will be a "rougher" ride in your 2009 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. In contrast, the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs, Item # SSR-401-47,...

• Difference Between Roadmaster EZ4 and EZ5 Base Plates for 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
• Both the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit # RM-521448-4 and EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-521448-5 will fit on your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. The primary difference between the two designs is the way they attach to the tow bar. The EZ5 does not use the quick-connect crossbar which provides a cleaner look, but prevents you from using some accessories that mount to the crossbar such as a Rock Guard like the Roadmaster # RM-4000. If you are at all interested in using a rock guard or protective...

• Comparing Brake Buddy Classic and Select 3
• There are several differences between the Brake Buddy Classic 3 # HM39494 and the Select 3 # HM39524. The main difference is that the Select is a true proportional system while the Classic is not. The Classic does have an inertia sensor but it will only apply the brakes according to the preset brake power settings, not proportionally to the braking action of your RV. The Select also lets you choose between proportional and full-braking action. This means you can have the brakes at max...

• Differences of Roadmaster Direct Connect and Cross Bar Base Plates for 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
• The main difference between the Roadmaster direct connect base plate kit (previously known as the EZ5) # RM-521453-5 and the cross bar style base plate kit (previously known as the EZ4) # RM-521453-4 is how the tow bar attaches to the base plate. The cross bar style base plate uses a quick disconnect bar to connect the tow bar up, the direct connect uses pins and clips to mount to the tow bar. They install exactly the same, the arms are the only difference. A direct connection makes it...

• Comparing the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain and Falcon 2 Tow Bar
• Yes, there will be a difference when using a non-binding tow bar like the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain part # RM-522 and a tow bar without the non-binding feature like the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar part # RM-520 even when using d-ring adapters. The reason for this is that though the connection point is in a different location, the issue with releasing the arms has to do with the vehicle's position in relation to the motorhome. It is uncommon to have a completely level surface on a camp...

• Differences Between Curt Trailer Hitches # 9883544 and # 13432
• The Curt # 13432 and the # 9883544 were the same exact hitch. We got a significant volume discount on that hitch from Curt, and were selling the discounted hitch under a different part number. We have since ran out of the # 9883544, but still have the # 13432 available. The # 13432 hitch is a fit for the 2014 Wrangler Unlimited.
