I'd be happy to recommend everything you need to flat tow your 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon with your 2020 Lincoln Navigator Reserve.

You will need a base plate kit, tow bar, tow bar wiring, safety cables, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter.

Starting with the Base plate kit I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521453-5 which is confirmed to fit your Jeep Wrangler and will pair up perfectly with the Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-522 which is one of our most popular tow bars due to its 6000lb weight rating, and the non-binding arms that allow you to quickly and easily unhook your Jeep even on un-even ground.

For safety cables and tow bar wiring I recommend the RoadMaster Falcon 2 and Falcon All-Terrain Combo Towing Kit with Straight Wiring # RM-9243-1 which includes everything needed to power the lighting functions of your Jeep while being flat towed, safety cables, and also a storage bag for the # RM-522 when it is not in use.

Moving on to a supplemental braking system I recommend the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR due to its easy installation, and since it gets removed when you are done flat towing it can be used in multiple towed vehicles if needed. You will also need 12v Outlet Kit # RM-9332.

Lastly you may need a high-low adapter to level the tow bar to your Navigator 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.

Keep in mind you will need to verify that your Navigator has a towing capacity high enough to flat tow your Jeep before buying any components.

It is also a good idea to check the recreational towing section of your Jeep's owner's manual for any restrictions regarding flat towing, and for any special steps required to make it ready to be flat towed.

I included videos for each of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
