Recommended Flat Towing System For 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with Front Mounted Hitch
Question:
I have a 2016 Jeep Wrangler unlimited that I have already installed a Curt front hitch. I would like to tow with my RV. Will this hitch be in the way for installing a towing system ? What would you recommend ?

Expert Reply:
For your 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with front mounted hitch like # 31432, you will either need to remove the front mounted hitch to install a base plate system or replace your factory bumper. I recommend going with an aftermarket bumper option like # AA2156000 or # RA88509 for your bumper and then using the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts to Roadmaster Motor Home Mount Tow Bars - 1" Thick # RM-035-1 for your tow bar.
Then for the rest of your system, I recommend the following:
Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs # RM-520
RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000 lbs # RM-643
Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25
SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # SM99251
Finally you will need a high-low adapter. I've attached an article to help you determine the correct fit based on measurements and have linked the page to your options.
Let me know if you have further questions.
