Can a Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar Be Used On a 2020 Jeep Gladiator with Demco or Blue Ox Plates

Question:

I have a Road-master Stow-master 5000 tow bar. I am looking at purchasing a Demco or Blue Ox base-plate for my 2020 Jeep Gladiator. What adapter if any are available so I dont need to purchase a new tow bar?

I do have an option for you but there are no adapters available for the Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar part # RM-501 because this is a tow vehicle mounted tow bar and said adapters will only work with motorhome mounted tow bars. Therefore, your only option will be to sell your Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar and then obtain one that is specially made for either the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit part # DM9519336 for Overland, Sport, Sport S models and part # DM9519339 for Rubicon models or the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BLU53FR.

I recommend the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit because there is no drilling into the sub-frame required whereas there will be for the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit. For a tow bar that will be compatible with the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit, I recommend the Demco Commander II Non-Binding Tow Bar part # DM9511012 which will perform far better than the Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar and it will be easier to use.
