In order to flat tow your 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited you will need a base plate kit, a tow bar, safety cables, a lighting solution, and a supplemental braking system. I will list out my recommendations below and then go into a bit more detail on each item.

Base Plate Kit - Roadmaster Direct-Connect # RM-521453-5
Tow Bar - Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain # RM-676 (Safety Cables are included)
Lighting Solution - Roadmaster Hy-Power Diode Kit # RM-152
Braking System - Brake Buddy Classic 3 # HM39494

The Roadmaster Base Plate Kit features a really nice hidden-bracket design to allow for a clean appearance on the Jeep and it's direct-connect brackets eliminate the need for an obtrusive crossbar when hooking up to the tow bar. The Nighthawk All Terrain Tow Bar is then the perfect option for these base plates and its non-binding nature means you can easily release your Jeep at any time, even on unlevel ground. It includes safety cables and a coiled 6-Way to 7-Way adapter to go from the Jeep to the RV for powering its signal lights, which brings me to the Hy-Power Diode Kit that will be used to actually tap into those circuits on the Jeep. The Brake Buddy Class 3 Braking system is a great, portable option that will physically step down on the brake pedal inside the Jeep in proportion to its deceleration on the road.
