Base Plate RM67VR VS RM77VR Comparison And Compatibility With RM-422 Tow Bar

Question:

I have a 2021 Jeep Gladiator Mojave. It has LED tail lights. The diode kit I have is for conventional lights not LED. Is there a conversion/Diode kit that will work for LED tail lights when in tow? Without it I have no tail lights when towing.

Both Item # RM77VR and Item # RM67VR are the same cross-bar style base plate but with different connection arms so installation will be the exact same for both. Since you're using the Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 10K Item # RM-422 both base plates will work with this tow bar but the RM67VR will be slightly less time to connect because the # RM-422 comes with the same connection plates already installed.

For your 2021 Jeep Gladiator with LED tail lights I recommend the Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 7-Wire to 6-Wire Straight Cord Item # RM-152-98146-7. This kit will splice into your vehicle's tail light wiring to use your tail lights to signal instead of running magnetic lights every time you want to tow. If the brake lights do not work with the towed vehicle's ignition key turned to the "tow" position, you will need a brake light switch kit to provide a signal to the supplemental braking system. I recommend the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit Item # RM-751497 as it is a custom fit for your vehicle. I've attached installation videos for both wiring kits to help you in this process.
