Is Blue Ox Adapter And Avail Tow Bar Best Option For 2020 Jeep Gladiator With Off-Road Bumper

Question:

Im looking at the Blue Ox BX88307 is there anything better? and Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar - Motorhome mount BX7430 is there anything better to allow for the highest weight rating. I already have the Cooltech tow harness kit and the Demco duo aux brake, so these are the last parts I think I need. Also would I be able to use this with my Ram 2500 to flat tow the Jeep Gladiator?

For your 2020 Jeep Gladiator with an off-road bumper with 1 inch D-rings, the best option is absolutely going to be the Blue Ox adapter and tow bar you asked about:

- Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter - 7/8" Pin # BX88357

- Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar # BX7420

The Blue Ox is going to give you the highest weight rating like you mentioned, with the only thing you'll want to confirm is that your D-rings have a 7/8 inch diameter pin hole to use the adapter. The Avail then has a 10,000 lb rating, which is enough to tow your Gladiator, and the other thing I really like about this tow bar is the arms measuring 52 inches when extended. What that does is allow for the best tracking and turn radius when towing your Gladiator for the most maneuverability.

As a nice bonus the tow bar does come with safety cables so you do not have to purchase them separately. In regards to your truck, you would be able to use this set up with your Ram truck to tow as the tow bar does fit into a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver.
