Question:
Hello, I want to flat tow a 2005 Jeep Wrangler Sport behind a 2019 Entegra Reatta. If we choose not to get the Blue Ox Patriot , what are my braking options? Thank you

Expert Reply:
There are a couple options I recommend for supplemental braking systems if you do not want to go with the Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System # BLU37TR.
I recommend the Demco SBS Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Motorhomes with Air Brakes # SM99243 if your 2019 Entegra Reatta has air brakes (which I believe it does) or the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251 if it does not.
The advantage of these systems over the Patriot is that they are simply one-time installs which will never require any type of removal or reactivation each time you want to flat tow your 2005 Jeep Wrangler, while the Patriot requires an installation on every single trip. I have added links to video reviews of these systems for you to check out. They are just part of the package needed to flat tow a 2005 Jeep Wrangler, and I'll list out all of the recommended parts for you below.
- Base Plate Kit: Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM9519045
- Tow Bar: Demco Commander II Non-Binding Tow Bar # DM9511012
- Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
- Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400
- Supplemental Braking System: Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251
OR
- For a motorhome with air brakes: Demco SBS Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Motorhomes with Air Brakes # SM99243
