We can get you set up with all the parts you need in order to flat tow your 2021 Jeep Gladiator, and I'll make a list for you and then go over the recommendations.
- Base Plate Kit: Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM9519336
- 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
- Supplemental Braking System: Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # DM86VR
OR
- For a motorhome with air brakes: Demco SBS Air Force One Supplemental Braking System # DM26VR
The Demco Base Plates are the best option because of the super clean look your Gladiator will maintain with these base plates installed, as you can see in the accompanying photo of them installed on a Gladiator. The Commander tow bar is the best option because it has long arms which make it easier to maneuver when towing, along with integrated safety cables and an adjustable tilting head so a high-low adapter won't be needed. Having these features on a tow bar means you won't have to purchase them separately, saving you additional expenses.
I really like the Flexo-Coil wiring kit because it is designed to prevent any type of electrical feedback, keeping your Jeep's electrical system safe. As for the braking systems, both the Stay-IN-Play DUO as well as the Air Force One are highly recommended because they are a one-time install which will never require any type of removal or reactivation, and because they give you braking proportional to that of your motorhome. This results in much smoother braking than most systems which send out a pre-set amount of braking power.
Also, to keep rocks and other debris from hitting your Gladiator while you are flat towing it I highly recommend the Sentry Deflector for Demco Tow Bars # DM9523135.
Additionally, I have added links below to instruction manuals, video reviews and installations for you to take a look at.
