In order to flat tow your 2022 Jeep Wrangler with factory bumper, you will need at least 5 main parts. Those parts are a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, tow bar wiring and a supplemental braking system. I have listed these parts out for you below.
Base Plate Kit:
- Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5
Tow Bar:
- Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-676. This tow bar also includes the needed safety cables.
Tow Bar Wiring:
- Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154
Supplemental Braking System:
- Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Supplemental Braking System # RM-9400. You will also need the following 2 parts for the braking system.
- 12 Volt Outlet Kit # RM-9332
- Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751490
You will likely need a high-low adapter to keep your flat tow set-up level. I have included a help article that will help you determine this. I have also linked our selection of high-low adapters, so you can select the correct one if one is needed.
You will also want to consult the owners manual for your Jeep Wrangler to ensure you are doing everything that is required/recommended for flat towing your Wrangler.
