  • How to Flat Tow a Second Generation Jeep Liberty 2008-2011
    In order to flat-tow a second generation (2008-2011) Jeep Liberty with all four wheels on the ground you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, flat-tow wiring harness, safety cables, supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. I have attached my recommendations for each of these parts below. For a base plate kit I recommend the Roadmaster Base Plate Kit part # 521434-1 if you have a have rock guard or skid plate excluding Renegade, part # 521433-1 if you do NOT have a...

  • Roadmaster Base Plates for a Sterling Tow Bar and a 2011 Jeep Liberty
    The first thing you are going to want to do is consult the owners manual of your 2011 Jeep Liberty to determine if it can be flat towed or if anything additional is needed to tow the vehicle. From the research I did, all wheel drive models with automatic transmissions and models with 2 wheel drive and a 6 or 5 speed can only be towed on a trailer. Two wheel drive models with automatic transmission will require a transmission lube pump. And 4 wheel drive models with automatic transmission...

    The Crossbars you identify appear to be Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit, # 3136-1. This fits a Saturn Ion.

For wiring I suggest the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit, # RM-15267. If you need supplemental braking, I suggest the Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking...

    You will need to purchase the parts separately there isn't one giant flat towing kit that can be purchased. There are just way too many options and combinations.

  • Recommended Base Plates for 2012 Jeep Liberty to Use with Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar
    If your 2012 Jeep Liberty doesn't have a rockguard or skid plate then I recommend the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 521433-1. If you do have a rockguard or skid plate then you will want the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 521434-1, which will actually replace the rockguard/skid plate. Both of these options are directly compatible with your existing Sterling Tow Bar. Your current Roadmaster InvisiBrake # RM-8700 will also work great with your Jeep Liberty.

    Yes, you can use either # 521433-1 (if the Liberty does not have a rockguard or skid plate) or # 521434-1 (if it does have a rockguard or skidplate). Either set is compatible with your BlackHawk tow bar. You will also need safety cables like # RM-643. Next you will need a lighting solution. I recommend the plug and play Hopkins harness # HM56204 for the easiest installation. You will also need a supplemental braking system on the Jeep as required by law in most states. The easiest to...

  • Base Plates, Safety Cables, and Lighting Recommendations to Flat Tow a 2010 Jeep Liberty
    There are two sets of base plates that will fit a 2010 Jeep Liberty. If the Liberty has a rockguard or skidplate but no brushguard, you will need # 521434-1. If the Liberty has no brushguard, rockguard, or skidplate, use # 521433-1. Both of these base plates are EZ models and are compatible with a Sterling tow bar. You might also be interested in adding some safety cables or chains and a lighting kit as required by law. For safety cables, I recommend the RoadMaster 68 inch Single Hook,...

  • Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles and for Motorhomes
    Yes the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles, # RM-156-25 is minimal cost and while not "needed" for many applications it is a good item to add as it maintains the battery charge in your towed vehicle while the car is being towed. However, this does require that the RV's plug have a charge line pin that is "hot" to provide that power from the plug connection to the towed. Most/many motorhomes come from the factory with this pin already wired. If your motorhome is then...

  • Are Roadmaster Base Plates Compatible with a Reese Tow Bar for a 2012 Jeep Liberty
    The Roadmaster base plates, # 521434-1, will work with a Reese tow bar as long as it is Reese model 74950 and you use adapter # RM-025 with quick disconnects # RM-201. If it is a different model tow bar then it will not work. based on my research I found that the compatible Reese tow bar is only rated for 5,000 pounds so it is not likely the base plates will be compatible. For a compatible tow bar you can use the Tracker # RM-020 and you will also need the quick disconnects # RM-201. You...

  • How Level Should a Tow Bar be to Flat Tow a 2008 Jeep Liberty
    When flat towing a vehicle behind a motorhome you want the tow bar to bewithin 3 inches of perfectly level. We call this the "safe zone" for flat towing. I've linked a help article for you. In order to help you get your setup level you may need a high-low adapter. I've also linked our selection of adapters for you to look at so you can choose the correct rise or drop you need to safely tow your 2008 Jeep Liberty. Another thing to check before attempting to tow the Jeep is the owner's...

  • Recommended Parts To Flat-Tow a 2012 Jeep Liberty
    In regards to flat-towing components, there are a few different brands such as Roadmaster, Blue Ox, or Demco to choose from. If you prefer one over another then that is fine but I think each excel in certain areas so I recommend mixing and matching. The Roadmaster tow bars for example have a torque multiplier system that makes disengaging the arms much easier than other options such as Blue Ox. The Demco braking systems tend to be easier to install and perform better than other options...
