Expert Reply:
The two best options for tow bar wiring for use when flat towing your 2019 Jeep Wrangler really depend on how often you'll be towing the vehicle. We have magnetic kits like the Optronics kit part # TL21RK which are super simple to use as you basically just plug it in to the tow vehicle trailer wiring, set the lights on the rear of the vehicle where they'll be easily visible, and you're ready to go. This is a great solution for if you don't plan to tow all that often.
A more permanent setup like the Roadmaster Diode kit part # RM-15267 is the best option for if you plan to be towing pretty regularly. This splices into the taillight wiring of the Wrangler which gives the tow vehicle the ability to directly control the taillights of the Jeep. It's a bit more in-depth of an install but overall it's the best solution. It also comes with wiring to span the tow bar and sockets/connectors needed too. Check out the install video I attached for more info as well.
