Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2017 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon
Question:
I have a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. I want to tow with your Falcon 2 tow bar. Will you give me all of the part numbers I will need including the tow bar, cross bar and mounting hardware. Thanks.

Expert Reply:
Safe and legal flat towing requires a few components, including the tow bar like your Roadmaster Falcon 2 # RM-520 and base plates such as Roadmaster's MX Base Plate Kit # 1444-3. No crossbar is needed with this combination. These and the other items needed are detailed in the linked articles, which I recommend as a starting point for equipping your Rubicon for flat towing.
Other items required include safety cables like # RM-643, a lighting kit like magnetic light set # TL21RK (or one of the other options shown on the linked page), a braking system such as the excellent Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, which features portable design and wireless installation, and a high/low hitch adapter like # RM-048-10. I linked our page for all such adapters as well as an article to help you choose the right one.
