For your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Sahara, you'll need:
-A Base plate
- A set of tow bars
- A braking system
- Tow bar wiring
- A high-low adapter
For a base plate I recommend the Romadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate # RM-521453-5. This base plate kit is custom made to fit your vehicle, has a simple no-drill installation, and provide a clean look when not in use.
Next is a set of tow bars. I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain # RM-522. This tow bar will directly connect to your base plate and will slide directly into the receiver hitch on your RV. Additionally, this tow bar has a max weight capacity of 6,000lbs.
Following the tow bars, is a braking system. By law you need a braking system on any trailer/vehicle weighing over 3,000lbs. For this, I recommend the Roadmaster Even Brake # RM-9400. This is a simple to use, portable braking system, that will keep your toad vehicle and your RV safe while going down the road.
Finally, you're going to need wiring # RM-152-98146-7 and a high-low adapter like # RM-048-8. You'll want to verify your rise/drop first before choosing a high-low adapter.
