Parts Needed to Flat to a 2022 Jeep Gladitator Rubicon

Question

Question:

Hello, I have a 2022 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon and would like to know what parts I need to flat tow it behind our class A motorhome. We currently have Roadmaster Nighthawk bars. The Jeep has the LED package with LED tail lights. 1. Would like to know what I would need to wire the tail lights. 2. What base plate I would need to connect the Roadmaster to the Jeep. Thank you

For a baseplate kit compatible with your Nighthawk tow bars is the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5. These base plates are custom fit to your vehicle and will work great with your current tow bars.

For a wiring harness I recommend going with the Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-152-98146-7. This is a universal wiring harness that'll work fine with your Gladiator and will connect your RVs brake lights, stop lights, and turn signals.

If your Gladiator has the ParkSense feature you're also going to need the smart diode kit # RM47ZR or # RM63MR.

The las thing you'd need is a braking system # BLU37TR which is going to provide the necessary braking power to your towed vehicle to be safe on the road. You'll also need to add a 12 volt outlet kit # RM-9332 as well to power the unit.
