Question:

I have. 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with the factory steel bumper. Will this base plate still fit my Jeep? It mentions the plastic bumper but not the steel bumper.

Expert Reply:

The etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit, # e98948 is for 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited model equipped with a factory plastic bumper. For your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with the factory steel bumper, you will want the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit, # DM9519339.

For a tow bar, I recommend the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar - RV Mount - 2" Hitch # e34ZR. This fits both Demco and etrailer branded base plates and comes with the needed safety cables.

For supplemental braking, I suggest the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System, # SM99251.

And the Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles, # RM-152-1676-7 for your Jeeps indicator lights when being towed.
