Absolutely! In order to flat tow your new 2020 Jeep Wrangler you will need a base plate kit, a tow bar, safety cables, a lighting solution, a supplemental braking system, and likely a high-low adapter. I will list my specific recommendations below and go into a bit more detail on each item further down.

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
Supplemental Braking System - Brake Buddy Classic 3 # HM39494

The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit is designed specifically for your Wrangler and its hidden bracket design maintains a clean appearance while its "direct-connect" arms will attach right to the arms of the Roadmaster Nighthawk Tow Bar without the need for a separate crossbar piece. The Nighthawk itself is one of the best tow bars on the market with its non-binding design that lets you easily release the Jeep at any time (even on unlevel ground) and integrated LEDs for better night time visibility.

The Diode Kit will work with the Nighthawk's coiled wiring so that the Jeep's lights illuminate in correspondence to the motorhome's during travel. The Brake Buddy Braking System provides an extremely reliable, easy-to-use system that will physically press down on the Jeep's brake pedal in proportion to the braking you do inside the RV.

Lastly, you may need a high-low adapter to keep the tow bar within the "Safety Zone" (3 inches above or below level). I have attached a really good article that explains how to choose the best one for your setup along with a link that will take you to our available selection. I have also included video reviews on the products mentioned that you can check out.
