Yes, you would need a base plate to flat tow your 2005 Jeep Liberty. Your Jeep Liberty would also need to be a 4WD model and it cannot have the brush guard. My recommended base plate is the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms, part # RM-521423-5. You can use this base plate with any Roadmaster tow bar.

In addition to the base plate, you need a towbar, a supplemental brake system, safety cables, and tow bar wiring. Please let me know if you have questions about any of those items or if you need a recommendation. I have included a product description link and a video installation link below.
