Can 2010 Jeep Wrangler Be Flat Towed with Roadmaster Stowmaster Tow Bar
Question:
Im considering purchasing a 2010 Jeep Wrangler as a tow vehicle behind my 2008 Born Free RV. I like the idea of self storage on the Road Master Stowmaster Tow Bar. Can you tell me if that unit is compatible with a 2010 Jeep Wrangler Sahara ? thank you

If you wanted to use the Roadmaster Stowmaster Tow Bar part # RM-501 to flat tow your 2010 Jeep Wrangler you certainly could. It would be just a matter of installing the correct base plate kit on your vehicle. For that you would want the Roadmaster EZ4 base plate kit part # RM-521448-4 which is a confirmed fit.
For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.
And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies 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. Since the battery gets disconnected you will also need the outlet kit part # RM-9332.
Most likely you will also need a high low adapter so that the tow bar will be level when you are flat towing. I attached a link to a page that has all of the ones we carry.
I have included a couple of helpful links to our articles on flat towing for you. Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual for more specific information on flat towing your vehicle.
