Question:

We have a customer with a 2012 jeep wrangler who brought in a Reese 74344 tow bar for us to install but did not bring a base plate for it .I am wondering if you have one we could order that would work with the Reese Thanks for your help Joel

Expert Reply:

For your customers's 2012 Jeep Wrangler I recommend the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms Item # RM-521448-4 which are a confirmed fit with the Roadmaster Base Plate to Tow Ready Towbar Adapter and Replacement Crossbar for Tracker Towbar Item # RM-025

I seriously recommend using a different tow bar. The weight for the wrangler depending on the trim package is up to 4921lbs. If they loaded anything into the Jeep they could go over the Reese tow bar's 5,000lb weight capacity and the tow bar could fail.

I recommend using the Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar - Car Mount - 2" Ball - 6,000 lbs Item # RM-501
