Question:
I bought a RV that has a BlackHawk 2 All Terrain non binding tow bar. I also bought a 2018 Jeep Rubicon to tow. I, need to know which base plate attaches to the Jeep? Thanks in advance for your help.

In order to use your BlackHawk 2 All Terrain Tow Bar to flat tow your 2018 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, you need a Roadmaster baseplate kit. If you have the JK model, I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # 1444-3. If you have the JL model with the factory steel or plastic bumper, I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5. Since both of these baseplates are made by Roadmaster, they will work really easily with your Roadmaster tow bar, and you won't have to worry about using an adapter bar.
In order to flat tow your Jeep, you will also need safety cables, a braking system, and a tow bar wiring kit. In case you don't already have these items, here are some quick recommendations for each:
- Safety Cables: # C80176
- Braking System: # BLU37TR
- Wiring Kit: # RM-154
These will work for either the JK or JL models. Check out the videos linked below for more details on all of these products.
