Flat Towing Equipment Needed For A 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JL
Question:
I am planning on flat towing my 2021 Jeep JL. I have chosen the Roadmaster Nighthawk Tow Bar RM-676, Brakebuddy 3 HM39524, Roadmaster Diode Wiring Kit RM-152, and Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit RM-751490. Can you advise if this is all I need?

To flat tow your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JL you'll need the following things:
Tow Bar: The Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar w/ LED Lights - RV Mount - 8K Item # RM-676 is a perfect tow bar as it comes with safety cables, has a 8k weight capacity so you can load you vehicle too, and is non-binding which will make connecting and disconnecting on uneven surfaces easy.
Tow Bar Wiring: I recommend Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit Item # RM-154 over the # RM-152 unless you already have connector port to wire it into on your Jeep.
Base Plates: If you have a factory bumper I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms Item # RM-521453-5. If you have an aftermarket bumper you will have to reply back with which kind so we can find the correct fitting base plates for you.
Braking System: The Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System - Proportional Item # HM39524 comes with a battery charger that will keep your vehicle's battery charged while towing. This also comes with a remote that will give you braking status so you don't really need the Stop Light Switch # RM-751490.
Safety Cables: You won't need to purchase these separately since they came with your tow bar.
It's also very important to check your owner's manual to ensure it's safe to flat tow your vehicle and for any certain steps needed when setting up your vehicle to flat tow.
