The Roadmaster Safety Cable Extensions # RM-910648-8 add an extra 8" to your Roadmaster Tow Bar Safety Cables. The extensions come as a pair, so you will be able to add 8" to both sides of your safety cables when you buy one set. Depending on how much length you need, these safety cables will help your reach under the tow bar.
These extenders have a weight capacity of 8,000 lbs. and include the quick links.
I attached a review video for these extenders which you may want to check out. view full answer...
The RVIA (Recreational Vehicle Industry Association) recommends that the trailer break away cable be slightly longer than the safety chains. The logic behind that is that the brakes will apply should the safety chains fail. view full answer...
To ensure your RoadMaster Sterling Tow Bar # RM-576 stays clean when the tow bar is in the storage position, I recommend the RoadMaster Tow Bar Cover # RM-055-3.
When you detach the tow bar simply wind all the cables loosely around the tow bar and set it in the storage position. The tow bar cover slides over the entire unit and clasps closed. view full answer...
It's going to depend on how the break away cable is connected to the vehicle. If the cable is looped through a safety chain loop on the hitch, you can unplug the cable from the breakaway switch, detach it from the safety chain loop and plug the breakaway pin back in. If a split ring or quick link like part # 750-3204 is used, disconnect the cable from the split ring or quick link. Pulling the breakaway pin to get the cable off won't hurt anything, just plug it right back in so the battery... view full answer...

Once the pin on the break away switch is pulled, the brakes on the trailer will engage. I have not heard of this occurring, but it is possible.
I would recommend routing the cable that pulls the pin as close as possible to the trailer frame. You can use a few strips of electrical tape to hold the cable in place so that it is not hanging down and easily snagged. If the trailer should come loose and the safety chains should fail, the tape would not prevent the cable from pulling the pin... view full answer...
For a 2022 Chevrolet Colorado you only flat tow four-wheel-drive vehicles that have an N (Neutral) and a Four-Wheel Drive Low (4 (n) setting. Look for knob on the dashboard. This will most likely be the last position on the right of the knob and be an "N" that will illuminate when placed in neutral.
First apply the parking brake and start the engine. Then shift the transfer case to N (Neutral). Verify that the vehicle is in N (Neutral) by shifting the transmission to R (Reverse) and... view full answer...
Safety chains are required by law in many different places, and in order to find out about the specific regulations you will need to contact your local DMV.
I will say that no matter what the law may be, safety chains are a very good idea, no matter what speed you are travelling because they ensure your trailer isn't going to become disconnected and cause a potentially serious accident. When considering the cost and ease of use for safety chains relative to what could happen without using... view full answer...

Miles are not added onto the odometer of the 2021 Jeep Gladiator when it's flat towed. The odometer is electronic, not mechanically driven off the transmission or differential so miles will not accumulate when the vehicle isn't running.
