Yes, I can put together a complete list for you of all the parts needed to flat tow your 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave. I'll go ahead and list out below the exact parts you need for the wiring, a braking system, and base plates that are compatible with your Jeep and the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-676:

- Base Plate Kit: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM77VR

- Wiring Kit (For Jeep WITH ParkSense Proximity Sensors): Roadmaster Wiring Kit with Smart Diodes # RM47ZR
or
(For Jeep WITHOUT ParkSense Proximity Sensors): Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-152

- Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751497

- Supplemental Braking System: Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # DM86VR

- Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Wire Kit # DM66VR

The Direct-Connect base plates are not only compatible with your Nighthawk # RM-676 tow bar, they are also custom-made for the Mojave model of your 2022 Gladiator. And since the Nighthawk comes with an electrical cord and safety cables, you don't need to purchase those separately, which leaves the wiring, stop light switch (which is needed to ensure the braking system gets the proper light signal) and supplemental braking system.

For the wiring, both are diode kits which are designed to prevent any type of electrical feedback, keeping your Jeep's electrical system safe, so you'll just need to be sure to get the right one depending on if you have the ParkSense sensors. As for the braking system, the Stay-IN-Play DUO is by far the best option because your Gladiator will get braking power proportional to that of your motorhome. Because the braking power between your motorhome and Jeep will be the same, you'll get a more comfortable, easier-to-control ride when flat towing.
