Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
Question:
Hi Jameson, the jeep has 3/4 D-ring mounts directly to the from. Will the falcon hitch work if I use the RM-035 adaptor?

For your 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon with the factory bumper you'd want the base plate kit part # RM-521453-5.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which makes the setup very easy to connect/disconnect.
For lighting/safety cables, locks, and covers for the tow bar we have the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain kit part # RM-9243-1 which comes with all of that as one part number. The diode kit that comes with this allows you to splice into the taillight wiring so that your RV controls the vehicle taillights and does not require drilling into the taillight housings. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.
And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. Since you have air brakes on your motorhome the braking system you'd want is the Air Force One part # DM26VR.
Most likely you will also need a high low adapter so that the tow bar will be level when you are flat towing. I attached a link to a page that has all of the ones we carry.
I have included a couple of helpful links to our articles on flat towing for you. Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual for more specific information on flat towing your vehicle.
