To flat tow a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Willys Wheeler edition you would need the following components:
Baseplate: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521448-5. This baseplate is only designed to fit standard factory bumpers. If you have a different bumper we'll need to know what it is to see if any baseplates are confirmed to fit with it.
Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e74ZR. This tow bar comes with safety cables bracketed to the arms so you won't have to worry about them dragging on the ground. The head and shank offer a bit of adjustability to help keep it level but you'll most likely need a high/low adapter still so I've attached a guide below to help you measure for the correct adapter.
Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This diode kit will splice into the factory wiring to display your motorhome's traffic signals through the tail lights of your Jeep.
Braking System: Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700. This fixed system will mount in your Wrangler and require no setup after the initial installation so that you have one less step to do when getting ready to flat tow your Wrangler. The brake light switch wire for your Wrangler that you'll tap into for the indicator light of this system is white/brown.
