Recommended Base Plate Kit For 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Compatible With Curt Rambler Tow Bar
Question:
Hello and good afternoon. I have been looking around on your website for towing equipment for my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit with a diesel pusher air/engine braked motorhome. I have found a few things that I think that might work such as a Curt Rambler Steel Towbar for 7500 lbs and an Air Force One braking system. I am not too sure which base plates to choose. Any suggestions you might have? Thank you and regards

Expert Reply:
I would be happy make a suggestion for base plates confirmed to fit your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit that is compatible with the Curt Rambler Steel Tow Bar # C26FR you mentioned.
I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1128 as it is a confirmed fit for your Jeep, and is also the only base plates offered for your vehicle that are compatible with the Curt # C26FR you mentioned. Since the Curt # C26FR includes safety cables you will not need to purchase them separately.
To complete your flat tow setup you will also need wiring, and a supplemental braking system.
For wiring I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 which will add a 6-way connector to the front of your Jeep, and the included 7-way to 6-way cord will plug into the 7-way connector of your tow vehicle to power the lights. I really like the included diodes which protect your factory wiring from feedback and damage.
Since your motorhome has air brakes the Demco SBS Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Motor Homes with Air Brakes # SM99243 you were looking at is a great choice as it offers a one time install unlike other portable braking systems.
You will also more than likely need a high-low adapter to level your tow bar to your motorhome, so I have included a link to a helpful article that will walk you through how to measure for the correct adapter, and a link for all of our high-low adapters for you.
It is always a good idea to check the recreational towing section of your vehicles owner's manual for any special steps to make your vehicle ready to be flat towed, and any flat tow restrictions.
I included videos for each of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
