For your 2020 Jeep Gladiator, you'll need a few items; a tow bar, base plate, safety cables, 6 way to 7 way cable, wiring, and a braking system.
For a base plate, I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5, which will keep a sleek look to your vehicle when not in use.
When it comes to wiring, I recommend the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154 which is a simple to install and prevents electrical feedback to protect your wiring and the components attached to the wiring.
For a tow bar, I recommend the Roadmaster Sterling All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-576, which comes with safety chains, and a 6 way to 7 way cord.
Finally, for a braking system, I recommend the Brake Buddy Classic 3 # HM39494, this is a portable, lightweight, and easy to use proportional braking system, and will work great in your set up.
