The Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-522 is a great tow bar for flat towing your 2021 Jeep Wrangler. It features a non-binding design and large hook up radius which makes connecting/disconnecting on any terrain a breeze.
To flat tow your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited you'll also need a base plate, braking system, tow bar wiring kit, and safety cables. I have the following recommendations for you below:
Base Plate: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521453-5. The direct-connect connection points make attaching your tow bar super quick and easy. The removable arms will provide a clean look when not in use as well. These base plates will fit a factory bumper so if you have something else let me know and I can find the correct base plate for your bumper.
Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This diode kit allows you to use your Jeep Wrangler Unlimited's tail lights and wiring system while preventing feedback from your RV. The included 7-wire to 6-wire Flexo-Coil electrical cord is resitant to water, oil, chemicals, and has silicone-injected plugs to prevent corrosion.
Note: Models with ParkSense Proximity Sensors will require the Roadmaster Wiring Kit with Smart Diodes for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights # RM47ZR instead.
Braking System: Brake Buddy Stealth Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # HM39530. This system offers fully proportional braking with a system that never has to be removed, replaced, or reset. The actuator installs out of sight and remains virtually invisible when your car isn't being towed. The controller also doubles as a trailer brake controller and included charge line kit will prevent you from arriving at your destination with a dead battery.
Safety Cables: RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000lbs # RM-643. The coiled design of these cables helps prevent them from dragging on the ground and being damaged.
You may also need a high/low adapter to keep your tow bar level while towing your Jeep. I've attached our help guide article to assist you in measuring to find the correct adapter for your needs.
