You would need some lights like the Roadmaster Standard Magnetic Tow Lights # RM-2120. They would be plug and play after their initial install. I attached a video for you to see how easy they are to install the first time. This is as close to plug-and-play as we have.

To use your Jeep's lights, you'll need to splice into the wiring with the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267; I have added a link to an install of this kit on a similar year Wrangler Unlimited for you to check out so you can see the process. Along with a wiring kit, the other parts you need to flat tow your 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited are:

- Base Plate Kit: Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM9519339 (Rubicon and Moab models)
OR
- Base Plate Kit: Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM9519336 (Sahara and Sport models)

- Tow Bar: Demco Excali-Bar III Non-Binding Tow Bar # DM9511013

- Supplemental Braking System: SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251 with Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751000
OR
- If your motor home has air brakes: SMI Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Motor Homes with Air Brakes # SM99243

I have added links to additional video reviews and installs for you to take a look at as well.
