Flat Tow 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Demco Base Plate Sterling Tow Bar
Question:
Hello, I am looking to setup my 2021 Jeep Wrangler 80th Anniversary Unlimited with the stock plastic front bumper to flat tow. I was looking at the Demco Dominator tow bar until a friend of mine gave me a Roadmaster Sterling to use. I still might buy the Demco bar down the road. I am considering installing the Demco baseplate and need to know what I would need to attach the Roadmaster tow bar to the Demco baseplate? I am also looking at the Patriot 3 braking system and was wondering if I needed to add a trickle charge to the Jeep battery to keep it charged? As far as the wiring for the lights I am looking for a true plug and play setup, I dont want to be cutting into the stock wiring. Does Hopkins make a setup for my Jeep or does another company make a similar plug and play setup? I want to go with this type of setup to avoid any warranty issues by cutting into the wiring. Thanks for your answers! CJ

The Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM9519336 is the correct base plate for your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. This kit is designed to work with the Roamaster Sterling Tow Bars #RM-576 without any adapters.
For the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR to work with your Wrangler you will need to add a couple parts. The first is a 12 Volt Outlet Kit # RM-9332 for constant power when the ignition is switched off. Second is a Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25, this will keep your battery charged while towing.
For the wiring, Roadmaster 7-Wire to 6-Wire Straight Cord Kit # RM-98146-7 will connect the RV to your Wrangler. We currently do not carry any plug and play kits for your Wrangler. You might consider wiring in a set of Magnetic Tow Lights # TLL21RK. This way you won't splice into your factory harness.
