I would be happy to help you set your 2022 Jeep Gladiator for flat towing. You're going to need a base plate kit, a tow bar, tow bar wiring, supplemental braking system, protective screen, charge line, stop light switch, and a high/low adapter. I have attached some installation videos below so you can follow along with the process.

Base Plate Kit: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms item # RM-521453-5

Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267
