Hey Reggie!

Would you be able to shoot me a photo of the sticker on your Blue Ox tow bar? I tried looking up that part number but wasn't able to find anything.

Your 2023 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon has a curb (unloaded) weight of 5,050 lbs so unless you have one of the lower-end Blue Ox bars you should be just fine. If you can send me a photo of the sticker though I'll be able to look into this a little further for you.

If you don't already have a base plate kit then the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU53FR is what fits your Rubicon model.

I reached out to Blue Ox and they have no information on that part number. It may be specific to wherever it was purchased. Lots of retailers change their part numbers for individual inventory which makes tracking them down difficult sometimes. If you would like to email me back some pictures I can try to identify it that way.

Since you have a Blue Ox tow bar you will want to install a Blue Ox base plate kit. The correct one for your 2023 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon is the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BLU53FR.
