Question:

Expert Reply:
To add a Blue Ox base plate to your 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon you will need item # BLU53FR. This base plate has removable arms and is confirmed to fit the Rubicon model along with the steel and plastic factory bumpers.
If you have an off road bumper that is capable of flat towing you will need the Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper Adapter item # BX88357
Some other parts you will need to flat tow your 2020 Jeep Gladiator are listed below:
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267
Supplemental Braking System - Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System item # HM39524
High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.
