Question:
Hello, just need a base plate kit for towing my 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Down to the Roadmater EZ4 and EZ5 - what's the difference? Recommend one over the other? Thanks.

Both the Roadmaster EZ4 # RM-521453-4 and EZ5 # RM-521453-5 Base Plate Kits are confirmed to fit your 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, however I do recommend the EZ5 # RM-521453-5 because of how it attaches to the tow bar.
Unlike the EZ4 mounts that require a crossbar to connect to a Roadmaster tow bar, the EZ5 design lets you directly attach to the tow bar arms for an easier hookup and cleaner appearance. I have attached the complete written installation instructions that you can check out as well.
In order to flat tow your 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited you also need the tow bar, safety cables, a lighting solution, and a supplemental braking system. Just in case you still need some or all of these items I will list my recommendations below:
Tow Bar - Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain # RM-676
Safety Cables - Roadmaster # RM-653
Lighting Solution - Roadmaster Diode Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
Supplemental Braking System - Brake Buddy Classic 3 # HM39494
