I looked up the owner's manual for your 2022 Jeep Gladiator. According to the manual, if you have a 4-wheel drive Gladiator, the ignition should be in the ACC position. However, if you must use the accessories (wipers, defrosters, etc.) while being towed, the ignition must be in the ON/RUN position. Since the owner's manual does not specify whether the steering will lock, I recommend reaching out to your local Jeep dealer to see if they can provide you with that information.
From the manual, it is important to note that you can only flat-tow your Gladiator if you have a 4-wheel drive model. If you have a 2-wheel drive model, the only way to transport your vehicle is via a flatbed truck.
For flat-towing your gladiator, I can definitely recommend the parts you need. Feel free to respond to this answer to confirm whether you have a Mojave model, a Rubicon model with factory or steel bumper, or a non-Rubicon and non-Mojave with a factory plastic bumper, and I will be happy to recommend the best parts for you.
