Question:

What do you recommend for a setup to flat tow a 2019 wrangler

asked by: Mitchell

Expert Reply:

For your 2019 Jeep Wrangler I recommend starting your flat towing setup with the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1139. Then I recommend using the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar # BX7380 which comes with the safety cables needed. If you desire added security in your connections, you can add the locking pin kit # BX88177.

Then for your tow bar wiring I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 which will utilize your vehicle wiring while protecting your Jeep from overload and back feeding.

Then for your braking system I recommend the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # SM99251. This system will install in a few hours time and them become a plug and play system. You will also need the # RM-88400 relay is required to prevent the towed vehicle's brake signal from overriding the turn signal from the RV when applying the brakes during a turn. I also recommend adding the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25 which will keep your battery charged while towing.

Finally, you will want to use a high low adapter that is the correct fit for your motorhome and vehicle fit. I've attached an article and linked the page to your options to assist.
