Does the C38FR fit my 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 75 edition?

Expert Reply:

The Curt Custom Base Plate Kit # C38FR fits a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with the standard factory bumper. Since you have a 75th Anniversary Edition it has a special bumper I recommend going with the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # 1444-3 instead. This is designed to fit the special edition bumper but it also has removeable arms so it will look nice and sleek when you aren't towing your Jeep.

If you already have a Curt or Blue Ox tow bar then you can still use it with this Roadmaster base plate kit, you'll just need the Adapter Brackets # BX88185 as well.

Attached are some videos for you to check out. For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. If you do not have all of these components just let me know and I can make some additional recommendations for you.
