You will need a specific base plate kit for your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited as they are custom-made to fit different vehicle frames. I recommend going with a Roadmaster setup for your Wrangler Unlimited because they have a solid product line that is easy to use and they think of everything when it comes to flat towing:

Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - # RM-521453-5
Nighthawk All Terrain Tow Bar - # RM-676 (with safety cables an umbilical)
Towing Combo Kit - # RM-9284-2
Smart Diodes - # RO54FR (if your Jeep has the ParkSense feature)
InvisiBrake Braking System - # RM-8700
Stop Light Switch Kit - # RM-751490

The Direct-Connect base plates and All Terrain tow bar not only look clean but they are also easier to connect and disconnect than some of the more standard setups, the towing combo kit gives you the extra wiring you need as well as some locks and a tow bar cover to keep everything nice. If your Jeep has the ParkSense then please note that you'll need to use the Smart Diodes instead of the regular diodes that come with the combo kit. The stop light switch kit helps to keep your lights working properly and then the InvisiBrake system means that you will have an easy setup each time you go to tow.
