Recommended Supplemental Braking Systems to Flat Tow 2005 Jeep Wrangler Sport
Question:
Hello, I want to flat tow a 2005 Jeep Wrangler Sport behind a 2019 Entegra Reatta. If we choose not to get the Blue Ox Patriot , what are my braking options? Thank you

There are a couple options I recommend for supplemental braking systems if you do not want to go with the Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System # BLU37TR.
I recommend the Demco SBS Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Motorhomes with Air Brakes # SM99243 if your 2019 Entegra Reatta has air brakes (which I believe it does) or the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251 if it does not.
The advantage of these systems over the Patriot is that they are simply one-time installs which will never require any type of removal or reactivation each time you want to flat tow your 2005 Jeep Wrangler, while the Patriot requires an installation on every single trip. I have added links to video reviews of these systems for you to check out. They are just part of the package needed to flat tow a 2005 Jeep Wrangler, and I'll list out all of the recommended parts for you below.
