Parts Needed To Connect 2020 Jeep Gladiator To Roadmaster Explorer Tow Bar

Question:

Hi, I have a Roadmaster Explorer tow bar that I have been towing my 1999 Jeep Wrangler with. I am purchasing a 2020 Jeep Gladiator Sport and would like to use the same tow bar. Can I adapt my existing tow bar to use on the Gladiator? If so what bracket kit would I need to order. Also would I need another other adapters?

Yes, you can use the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-4 for your 2020 Jeep Gladiator to pull it with your Roadmaster Explorer tow bar. Your Explorer is similar to the StowMaster # RM-501 with its attachment to the front of the towed vehicle. You will only need the Quick Disconnect Brackets # 910021-00 to attach to the arms going into the Gladiator. Then you will be able to connect the Explorer tow bar.

The Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 will give you the wiring needed to connect your tail lights on your Gladiator to function off your tow vehicle. It includes the 6-way round connector and a coiled cable to connect the vehicles. If you are using a brake system which draws power from the vehicle battery you will want to install a Charge Line # RM-156-25 to prevent your battery from being drained.
