Hey Brian, congratulations on the new Wrangler! I would be happy to help you out with this. For a complete setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, wiring, and a supplemental brake system. Roadmaster is going to be the best option aside from the brake system. I recommend the following:
-Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5
-Roadmaster Falcon 3HD Tow Bar # RM27NQ
-Roadmaster 80" Hybrid Coiled-to-Straight Safety Cables # RM-674
-Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-15267 (if you DO NOT have ParkSense)
-Roadmaster Smart Diode Kit for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights # RM63MR (if you DO have ParkSense)
-Curt RVi Series Shadow 2 Flat Tow Brake System # RVI94FR (includes charge line)
The Shadow 2 is a permanent install but you could also get the Curt RVi Series 4 # RVI44FR if you prefer a portable system. It doesn't include a charge line so you will also need the Curt RVi Series Towed Battery Charger+ for Flat Towing # RVI74FR.
You may also need a high-low adapter like the etrailer High-Low Adjustable Adapter # e52ZV to keep your setup level. I attached a help article further down on this page which explains how to measure to see if one is required.
Where will you be headed once you get your Jeep all set up?

Thank you so much! It looks like I do have ParkSense so I think I'm all set. We aren't headed anywhere just yet, still planning for next spring/summer. I want to make sure I'm ready to go ahead of time. Thanks again!
