How Do You Flat Tow a 2021 Jeep Gladiator with Fab Four Grumper Bumper Stubby?

Question:

I need to Flat Tow 2021 Jeep Gladiator with Fab Four Grumper Bumper Stubby with two Pad Eyes with 1 1/8” dia and it is 3/4” thick. Height above ground is 29 ½” inches. I was looking at the Roadmaster 2 Falcon Tow Bar, although open to other suggestions as I just watched a video from your website with another bar on a Gladiator. Need to know what connectors/adapter I can use with the Grumper Bumper and the 29.5” height. Thanks.

The Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar, # RM-520 you refer to is a great option. I prefer the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar w/ LED Lights, # RM-676, it has a little heavier rating and has all the bells and whistles with it. You can use this with the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts to Roadmaster Tow Bars - 3/4" - # RM-035 too. It is a non-binding design that allows you to release your vehicle at any time, anywhere - even on unlevel ground and has an extra large hookup radius; self-aligning with extra long arms. The built-in LED lights make you more visible at night and look cool too! But more importantly it has the integrated safety chains and the wiring.

For your needed Jeep indicator lights wiring, I suggest the Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles, # RM-152-98146-7.

The required by law supplemental braking system I recommend is the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO, # SM99251.

I put all that previous information out there because you asked about flat towing your 2021 Jeep Gladiator and I wanted answer your question of suggested items. However, to flat tow your vehicle behind your RV, you will require a tow bar adapter to adjust the height of the tow bar to the "Safe Zone". Please note the attached help article link below. The "Safe Zone" for a motor-home-mounted tow bar ranges from 3" above level to 3" below level. I think this will be very challenging to do with your 2021 Jeep Gladiator. Truth is you probably need to trailer it.
