• Will Miles Accumulate on Odometer of 2021 Jeep Gladiator When Flat Towed
  Miles are not added onto the odometer of the 2021 Jeep Gladiator when it's flat towed. The odometer is electronic, not mechanically driven off the transmission or differential so miles will not accumulate when the vehicle isn't running. In order to safely flat tow your Gladiator, you'll need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, a taillight wiring harness, a supplemental braking system and possibly a high/low adapter if the installed height of the base plates has a +/- 3 inch difference...

• What Do I Need To Flat-Tow A 2011 Dodge Durango.
  Yes a 2011 Dodge Durango can be flat-towed. My research shows the 3.6L V6 and 5.7L V8 Hemi Durango models are capable of being towed only if they have a 2-speed transfer case. You will need to check your owners manual to find out what type of transfer case you have. That said, you will need Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521440-5 (if you have adaptive cruise control). Or Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521440-4 (If you do...

• Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar & 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee

To put the used item that you reference to use on your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee you will still need to install base plates on your vehicle to be towed. I recommend the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit, # RM-521440-4.

• Does Flat Towing a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Add Miles to the Odometer?
  Flat towing a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee will not add miles to the odometer of your Jeep. It will however still create wear on your tires for instance so it is a good idea to track the mileage towed for maintenance reasons. Most modern vehicles will only track miles on the odometer when they are running and utilizing their transmission. If you are interested in recommendations for a complete system for your vehicle, let me know and I'd be happy to help with that or any other questions you have.

• Recommended Base Plate Kit to Flat Tow a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland
  Since you already have a Falcon tow bar I recommend going with Roadmaster base plates. You're correct that the old ones from your 2000 Jeep aren't going to fit. Both the EZ4 # RM-521440-4 and EZ5 # RM-521440-5 kits will work on your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. The biggest difference between the two is that the EZ5 doesn't need the Falcon's crossbar when you hook up. If you also need wiring for the Jeep's lights and a braking system I recommend the diode kit for the lights, part...

• Roadmaster Base Plate Kit Recommendation 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee to Use Nighthawk Tow Bar
  The base plate kit part # RM-521440-4 does not come with a crossbar as it's the tow bar that would include this component. Since you are wanting to use the Nighthawk tow bar part # RM-676 you'd instead want the direct connect base plate from Roadmaster that fits your vehicle part # RM-521440-5 which attaches directly to the Nighthawk. I attached an install video for the base plate kit on a similar 2019 Grand Cherokee as well.

• Does 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Require Mopar Wiring Harness to Flat Tow
  The Jeep Grand Cherokee used to require a special harness to fix the steering issues the vehicle had but they fixed it by 2018 and it now longer requires it. So you do not need the EPS harness for your 2018 Grand Cherokee. If you don't yet have the component for towing, I recommend the following parts: -Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521440-4 -Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs # RM-520 -Safety Cables # RM-643 -Roadmaster...

• Differences Between EZ4 and EZ5 Base Plate Kits for 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland
  For your 2011 (or 2012) Jeep Grand Cherokee there are two base plate options. You have the EZ4 kit part # RM-521440-4 and the EZ5 part # RM-521440-5. There isn't a standard EZ kit that's a fit. The primary difference between the two designs is the way they attach to the tow bar. The EZ5 does not use the quick-connect crossbar which provides a cleaner look, but prevents you from using some accessories that mount to the crossbar such as a Rock Guard like the Roadmaster # RM-4000. If you...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit with a Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  You will first need to start with a base plate kit on your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. For that you would want the part # 521440-1B. This will provide the connection point for the tow bar. The Falcon All Terrain part # RM-520 is a great option and is one of our most popular options. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.

• Stowmaster Tow Bar Compatible Base Plate Kit for 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By brackets, I'm assuming you're meaning base plates that install on the vehicle and provide an attachment spot for the tow bar.

Tow hooks, if present will need to be removed and left off the vehicle. This is an EZ4 style base plate which is compatible with the # RM-501 Stowmaster tow bar. In addition to the tow bar and...
