Even though you are using a Dodge Ram to tow your 2015 Jeep Wrangler, legally you still have to set it up like a flat towed vehicle would be behind a motorhome. If you're only going to be making your 2,000 mile trip once then a trailer would be a far more economical option.
To flat tow your 2015 Jeep Wrangler you will need the following parts:
Tow Bar and Safety Chains - Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar item # RM-520 and item # RM-643
Base Plate Kit - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms item # RM-521448-5 for factory standard bumper.
Wiring Harness - Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles item # HM56200
Supplemental Braking System - Blue Ox Patriot Radio Frequency, Portable Braking System item # BLU37TR with the 12 Volt Outlet Kit, 20 amps item # RM-9332.
High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.
