Question:
Do you have an all encompassing kit to tow a 2016 Jeep Wrangler?
asked by: John J
Expert Reply:
I can recommend all the parts you need to tow your 2016 Jeep Wrangler, but we do not have an all-in-one tow bar kit.
For your tow bar, I recommend the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-676. This tow bar can tow up to 8,000 lbs and features non-binding crossbars to make disconnecting easier. It also has LED lined arms for maximum visibility. This tow bar also comes with safety cables included.
For a base plate, I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521448-5. This installs easily under the front bumper of your Wrangler.
For a wiring system, I recommend the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit # HM56200. This installs on your Wrangler and connects to your tow vehicle via 4-way connector.
The appropriate braking system for you depends on what type of brakes you have on your tow vehicle. If you have hydraulic brakes, I recommend the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251. If you have air brakes, I recommend the Demco SBS Air Force One # SM99243.
Check out the videos linked below for installation details on all these products.
Also, note you may need a high-low adapter depending on the brands of the tow bar and base plate you choose. Refer to the article linked below for help determining if you need one and which one to get.
