how to flat tow with factory steel bumper on 2019 wrangler unlimited

Expert Reply:
To flat tow your 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited you need the basic towing components which include a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, and a supplemental braking system.
For your application I recommend using the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5, the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain # RM-676 and the Towing Combo Kit # RM-9284-2 because it comes with everything you need aside from the braking system and a high-low adapter plus locks and some lubricant to help keep your tow bar in great shape.
The Nighthawk All Terrain quickly connects to the base plate kit and has integrated umbilical wiring and safety cables. It also features LED lighting on the arms and a non-binding design which makes it very easy to maneuver.
I recommend using the Air Force One # SM99243 if your motorhome has air brakes or the Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251 with the Stop Light Switch # RM-751000 if your motorhome has hydraulic brakes. I like these kits because they connect easily to the motorhome and they permanently install in such a way tat you don't realize they are there during everyday driving.
