Hi Robert; hopefully your Roadmaster tow bar is one that attaches to direct-connect base plates as opposed to crossbar base plates; for example the 8,000 lb Roadmaster Sterling would be optimal. Assuming that, here is what you need to flat tow your 2024 Ram 1500 with a tow bar like the Sterling # RM-576:
- Base Plate Kit: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-522203-5
- Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Wiring Kit # RM-15267
- Supplemental Braking System - MOTORHOME WITH HYDRAULIC BRAKES:... view full answer...
Hey John what you're looking for isn't a brake controller it's called a supplemental braking system and they're required by law if you're flat towing a vehicle. The best all around system is the one you were looking at, the Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brakes item # SM99251.
The Demco Stay-IN-Play item # SM99251 is a proportional braking system that permanently installs in your Kia Forte. It activates your Kia's brakes when your RV decelerates or you... view full answer...
Since the Rampage Mass Articulation Front Recovery Bumper # RA88509 is not rated for flat towing you would still need a base plate like the Roadmaster # RM-521453-5 to flat tow your 2021 Jeep Wrangler.
I recommend the following parts for flat towing your Jeep. First the Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-676 which you will likely also need the Adjustable Drop Hitch # BLU28XR to keep the tow bars within 3" of level. The Roadmaster Accessory Kit # RM-9284-2 will contain the wiring... view full answer...
Hi Joe,
Yes, you can flat tow a 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4XE - either the manual or auto transmission - and the set up as far as equipment is much the same as your '17 Wrangler. and you can easily still use your Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-676.
For base plates what you need is the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5, and the wiring will just depend on if you get the optional ParkSense system (which is a back-up/parking assist system). If you do NOT get ParkSense... view full answer...
Hi Michael,
We can get your 2007 Chevy Tahoe set up to be flat towed behind your Winnebago motorhome, and for base plates and a tow bar I recommend going with Blue Ox as the base plates will fit both the hybrid and non-hybrid versions and their tow bars have a higher capacity than most, which is needed for a big SUV like your Tahoe.
For wiring and the brake system though, Roadmaster is what I like the most because we've seen over time the quality of both parts of the flat tow systems,... view full answer...
We can get your 2014 Jeep Wrangler set up with a wiring harness so you can flat tow it while also using the Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39524.

I recommend using the following parts to make flat towing safest.
Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521424-5
Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain Tow Bar w/ LED Lights # RM-676

Does it crank slowly or can you be more specific on the problems? My first thought is the battery is dying and that's why it's hard to start. This would be the case if it is slow to crank. We have a charge line kit that would help with that with the part # RM-156-25 which will help keep the battery topped off when flat towing as the braking system does slow discharge the battery. view full answer...
Yeah, I am not going to be much help without a model number or part number either. If by receiver you mean remote, we have the Replacement Remote for Brake Buddy Select Flat Tow Brake Systems item # HM39505. It works with the Vantage Select, Select II, and Select 3 Item # HM39524 systems. view full answer...

Hello mark, thanks for reaching out. We do have a great tow bar option that will work with the D-ring mounts on your 2014 Jeep JKU. I recommend going with the Roadmaster brand for the D-ring adapters since they are top quality, and fora good price. You will need the D-Ring Mounts # RM-035 for 3/4" D-Rings, or the # RM-035-1 for 1" D-Rings. The most affordable tow bar option to go with that will be the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520.

Hey Mike, you're going to want to use the Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screen for Towed Vehicles # RM-4750 since # BX1312 is a direct connect base plate which means you'd use a direct connect tow bar like the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # RM-525.
But, If you have a crossbar style tow bar that uses quick connects then you'd need # RM-4700.
If you're needing to complete your setup then you're also going to need a braking system, like the Blue Ox Patriot Portable... view full answer...
