Expert Reply:

To flat tow your 2021 Jeep Gladiator you will need a tow bar, base plate, tow bar wiring kit, braking system, and safety cables. I have the following recommendations listed for you below:

Tow Bar: Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000lbs # RM-522. This tow bar features non-binding latches and a large hookup radius to make connecting/disconnecting from your vehicle on any terrain easy peasy.

Base Plate: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521453-5. These direct-connect base plates offer a quick and simple attachment point for your tow bar and feature removable arms to provide a clean look when not in use.

Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This diode kit allows you to use your Jeep Gladiator's tail lights and wiring system while preventing feedback from your RV and comes with everything you need included.

Braking System: Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # HM39524. This system offers intense, emergency braking or steady, smooth braking in a single portable system. Easily switch between proportional or full braking using the remote from the cab of your motorhome. You'll also need the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751497 to alert you when the brakes of your towed car are being applied.

Safety Cables: RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000lbs # RM-643. The coiled design of these cables will help prevent them from dragging on the ground and being damaged.

You may also require a high/low adapter to keep your tow bar level between your Gladiator and motorhome. This does require some measuring on your part so I've attached our help guide article to walk you through the steps of determining the correct rise/drop needed.
