To upgrade from a Roadmaster Nighthawk Tow Bar item # RM-676 you will want the Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All-Terrain Non-Binding Tow Bar item # RM-422. This tow bar will give you a higher 10,000 lbs capacity and will easily replace the Nighthawk without having to use adapters if you switched brands.
You will also want to upgrade your safety cables to match the capacity of your new tow bar. I recommend the Roadmaster 80" Coiled Safety Cables item # RM-653.
To flat tow your 2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer you will need the follow parts:
Base Plate Kit - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms item # RM24MR
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267
Supplemental Braking System - SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System item # SM99251 or item # SM99243 if your motorhome has air brakes.
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.
