Question:

The Blue Ox tow plate will not work with the Mojave, they are apparently waiting on Engineering. Do you have any other solutions for Flat Towing a Jeep Gladiator Mojave? Apparently the cylinder placement for the front shocks is an issue.

Expert Reply:

For your 2020 Jeep Gladiator Mojave, Roadmaster has two options of base plates for you.

The first, part # RM77VR, is designed for a Direct Connect to the Roadmaster tow bars that slide into a trailer hitch like the Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, or Falcon 2. You can see an example with the Blackhawk 2, part # RM-422. I've linked to a video review of this tow bar.

The second base plate, part # RM67VR, is designed for a Crossbar Style tow bar and is compatible with all Roadmaster tow bars, like the Stowmaster, part # RM-501. I've linked to a video review of that one as well.

Of the two, I recommend the Direct Connect base plate.

Roadmaster also has a wiring kit for you to use while towing your Gladiator. It's the Hy-Power Diode Kit, part # RM-154. It will allow you to utilize your vehicle's lights while towing. I've linked to a video review of this kit also.

Finally, don't forget the other components necessary for towing. There's the braking system, like the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR. There's also the safety chains, like Roadmaster 64" Single Hook, part # RM-645. I've linked to video reviews of both of these.
