Recommended Parts For Setting Up A 2021 Jeep Gladiator For Flat Towing Behind An RV

Already having the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain # RM-522 tow bar definitely helps. There will be a few more parts needed to get your 2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon Set up for flat towing though, so I have a full set up, minus the tow bar, listed out below. One of the huge pluses with having a Jeep is they are one of the most common vehicles to flat tow, so we have install videos for almost every one of these recommendations as well. All these parts are the Roadmaster brand as they are American made and have proven to be the most durable option out of the brands we currently carry.

First, the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5 is designed to fit your 2021 Gladiator Rubicon (with the factory plastic or steel bumper) and will bolt directly to the frame. This will attach to the # RM-522 perfectly as well. A commonly missed part with the base plate and tow bar is safety cables, so you will need the RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables # RM-643 as well.

From here, you will need some flat tow wiring. I always recommend using a braking system and the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 will include all the needed parts to get the lights and braking system up and running.

And Finally to the braking system. For this, I recommend the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700. Though you will need the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751497 to complete this set up, once it is installed, you are good to go. This is a one time set up device and only activates when RV brake lights are illuminated, so there is no chance false braking. As it installs out of the way, you will not need to move a box around and store it, like a portable system.
