We have just what you need to flat tow your 2015 Jeep Wrangler! I recommend going with the Blue Ox base plates and tow bars as we have found they are the easiest to use, install, and are priced right at the same as the other popular brands. So for a base plate you'd want the part # BX1126 and you'd be set for that. I attached an install video for this on a similar 2015 Jeep Wrangler as yours as well. Then for a tow bar the Blue Ox part # BX7420 is very easy to use as well. A lot of other tow bars become hard to connect disconnect due to tension in the bars of the tow bar but this one can pivot from side to side and has telescoping inner arms as well. Plus it comes with safety cables. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV. And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles. Most likely you will also need a high low adapter so that the tow bar will be level when you are flat towing. I attached a link to a page that has all of the ones we carry. I have included a couple of helpful links to our articles on flat towing for you. Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual for more specific information on flat towing your vehicle.
