Question:
Can you all put together a list of the items I need to purchase to safely flat tow a 2dr 2015 Jeep Wrangler with a stock front bumper? I will be towing the Jeep with a 2019 25foot Mercedes Diesel Sprinter Thor motor home. Please include brake auxiliary lighting equipment. The MH has a 6 and 4 wire plug and a 5000 towing rating with a receiver hitch. Thanks
