For tow bar wiring to flat tow your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited behind your 2019 Ford F-450 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 on your tow vehicle. The included diodes will protect your Jeeps factory wiring from any backfeed or damage.
You will still need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, and supplemental braking system to complete your flat towing setup. If you do not already have these components I recommend the following:
Base Plate Kit # Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521453-5 (As long as you have factory steel or plastic bumper)
Tow Bar: Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-522
Safety Cables: Roadmaster 64" Single Hook, Straight Safety Cables # RM-645
Supplemental Braking System: Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR W/ 12v Outlet Kit # RM-9332
You will also more than likely need a high-low adapter to level your tow bar to your tow vehicle so I have included a link to a helpful article that goes over how to measure for the correct adapter, and a link to all of our high-low adapters for you to take a look at.
I included videos for each of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
