Yes, you can connect the Blue Ox Apollo Non-Binding Tow Bar item # BX7470 to the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit item # RM-521453-5 but you will need the Roadmaster Adapter Kit item # RO64FR.

The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit item # RM-521453-5 is confirmed to fit your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. These direct-connect brackets are virtually invisible, easy to mount and remove, and they eliminate the need for a quick-disconnect crossbar on your tow bar. The Removable arms provide a clean factory look when not in use. This base plate kit works with the factory steel or plastic bumpers. If you have something else please email me back with the specific type of bumper you have and I will find you the correct part.

I have listed some other parts you will need to flat tow below.

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

If your Jeep is equipped with ParkSense proximity sensors you will need the Roadmaster Wiring Kit with Smart Diodes for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights item # RM47ZR instead.

Charge Line Kit - Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles item # RM-156-25

Supplemental Braking System: Brake Buddy Stealth Supplemental Braking System item # HM39530.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
