Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2007 Jeep Wrangler Behind a Motor Home
Question:
Can you tow a 2007 jeep wrangler 2wd?
asked by: Tammy
Expert Reply:
Jeep Wranglers, including your 2007 model, are among the most frequently flat towed vehicles. You can check your vehicle owners manual to confirm.
If your Jeep is stock with no aftermarket bumper, winch, or grille guard then you can use base plates # 1429-1. For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Falcon 2, # RM-520. I have linked a video review for you. For safety cables I recommend # RM-643. the coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.
For lighting our installers prefer the bulb and socket kit # RM-155. Check your owners manual though because it looks like the battery has to be disconnected to tow the vehicle without draining the battery.
And finally, most states now require supplemental braking on the vehicle being flat towed. One of the preferred systems for our installers is the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO proportional system, # SM99251. It will apply the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles.
