• Duncan EazAligner 2000 Compatible Base Plate To Flat Tow 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
• Roadmaster does have a base plate that will work, part # RM-521453-4. You'll also need the # RM-038 Duncan tow bar to Roadmaster Base Plate adapter.

• Which Roadmaster Tow Defender Fits with Roadmaster MX Direct Connect Base Plates

• Roadmaster EZ 4 or EZ 5 Base Plate for Flat Towing Vehicle Behind RV
