I have a great option for you, but when choosing the best base plate kit for your 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport there are some other factors that play a role, like what type of bumper you have. I am going to base my recommendation on a standard factory bumper with no guards or winches. If you have an alternate style of bumper, please let me know and I can recommend the base plate kit that you would need.
The base plate kit that I recommend is the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521448-5. This base plate kit is made in the USA, has a limited lifetime warranty and will work with Roadmaster Direct connect tow bars. If you already have a tow bar and it is not compatible with the Roadmaster direct connect baseplates, let me know what make and model of tow bar you have and I can track down and adapter or recommend a compatible base plate kit.
I went ahead and included the other major parts that are needed for flat towing so you can ensure that you have everything that you need to flat tow your 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport.
-Tow Bar: Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar w/ LED Lights # RM-676 (this tow bar includes the safety chains, which are a needed part)
-Tow Bar Wiring: Roadmaster Universal Wiring Kit # RO94FR
-Supplemental Braking System: Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39524
You may also need a high-low adapter to level your tow setup. I have included a help article that goes over this. I have also linked our selection of high-low adapters if it is determined that you need one. You will also want to consult your Wranglers owners manual to ensure that you do everything that is required/recommended by the manufacturer when flat towing.
