Which Demco Base Plate and Tow Bar Fits 2005 Jeep Wrangler
Question:
I have a 2005 Jeep Wrangler and would like to know if this product will fit. I also need a tow hitch as well, that will fit this base plate.

We have Demco base plate kits that fit your 2005 Jeep Wrangler but the kit you mentioned fits the much older CJ-5 and CJ-7 models. Instead you'd want the # DM9519045 which is a confirmed fit. Then for a tow bar you'd want the easy to use Demco Commander II tow bar part # DM9511012 which also comes with safety chains.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.
And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles.
Most likely you will also need a high low adapter so that the tow bar will be level when you are flat towing. I attached a link to a page that has all of the ones we carry.
I have included a couple of helpful links to our articles on flat towing for you. Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual for more specific information on flat towing your vehicle.
