Complete Roadmaster Flat Tow Set Up For 2023 Jeep Gladiator Mojave

Question:

2023 Jeep Gladiator Mojave. Would like to flat tow and have had good experiences with Roadmaster in the past. Can you give me a complete Roadmaster flat tow set up? I'm ok with the braking system not being Roadmaster but everything else I'd like to be. Appreciated.

We can get your 2023 Jeep Gladiator Mojave set up to be flat towed with Roadmaster parts, and I'm not surprised you've had good experiences with them, as they do have a deserved reputation for quality. I'll go ahead and list out all the parts needed to flat tow your Jeep:

- Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM77VR

- Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-676

- Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-152
OR
- For Jeeps With ParkSense Proximity Sensors: Roadmaster Wiring Kit with Smart Diodes for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights # RM47ZR
- Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751497

- Supplemental Braking System: Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # DM86VR

- Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Wire Kit for Demco Supplemental Braking Systems # DM66VR

This will give your Jeep a complete Roadmaster flat tow set up, apart from the braking system. The base plates I did verify directly with Roadmaster are a fit for your 2023 Jeep Gladiator Mojave. The Nighthawk tow bar will easily connect to the base plates, and is the best tow bar for your Jeep, by a good margin. It has an aluminum body which makes it lighter and easier to handle than other tow bars a long 52" reach which allows your Jeep to track behind your motorhome better than bars with shorter arms, and even includes both safety cables and an electrical cord so you don't have to buy those separately.

As for the braking system, the Stay-IN-Play DUO is the best because it gives you braking proportional to that of your motorhome. So when you hit the brakes on your motorhome, your Jeep is going to get the same amount of braking power, resulting in much smoother braking than other systems.

The stoplight switch will ensure the monitoring system is always active, and the battery charge line will keep your Jeep's battery charged at all times even on long journeys. The only other thing I recommend considering, in order to protect your Jeep's front end from debris while it is being towed, is the Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screening # RM-4750.
