Expert Reply:

To flat tow your 2021 Jeep Wrangler JL you'll need a tow bar, base plate, tow bar wiring kit, braking system, and safety cables. I have the following recommendations listed for you below:

Tow Bar: Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-522. This tow bar features non-binding latches and a large hookup radius to make connecting and disconnecting your vehicle on any terrain a breeze.

Base Plate: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521453-5. These base plates are compatible with a factory steel or plastic bumper, if you have a different bumper then let me know and I can find the correct fit for you. The arms of these base plates are removable for a clean look when not in use.

Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-152 This diode kit allows you to use your Jeep Wrangler's tail lights and wiring system while preventing feedback from your RV.

If you have ParkSense proximity sensors then you will need 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 works as a trailer brake controller so you won't have to purchase one separately if you need to tow a trailer with your motorhome. This system applies the towed vehicle's brakes in proportion to the braking action of the RV. The towed car's brakes are activated at the same time and with the same intensity as those in your motorhome. The built-in battery protection keeps your towed vehicle's battery charged as you tow so you never have to worry about the battery being dead when you reach your destination.

Safety Cables: RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000lbs # RM-643. The coiled design of these cables will help prevent them from dragging on the ground and being damaged.

You may also require a high/low adapter to keep your tow bar level between your Jeep and motorhome. This will require you to do some measuring so I've attached our help guide article to help walk you through the steps of determining the correct rise/drop.
