Base Plates and Other Flat Towing Equipment Recommendations for 2019 jeep wrangler
Question:
tow bar base plate for 2019 jeep wrangler
asked by: Frank S
Expert Reply:
The correct base plate kit will depend on which bumper your Wrangler is equipped with. For the factory plastic or steel bumper, use # RM-521450-5. For the off-road bumper with 1 inch thick D-rings, use # RM-035-1 or # RM-035 for 3/4 inch thick D-rings.
To complete your flat towing set-up, you'd need a towbar like the # RM-520. The # RM-9294-2 combo kit you had looked at would provide the electrical wiring, safety cables and protective cover. After that, you'd need a supplemental braking system like the # RM-8700 Roadmaster Invisibrake and some odds and ends like the # RM-751490 stoplight switch kit and a high/low adapter if the height difference between the base plates and the receiver on the vehicle doing the towing is greater than 3 inches +/-.
I'll link you to some helpful articles about flat towing as well as some installation videos for some of the products I recommended. The wiring install shown uses a different kit, but the procedure for your Jeep would be very similar.
