I have a 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Willis. I need to set up as a tow vehicle. Will base plate BX 1139 and wiring kit BX 88368 fit my vehicle?

Expert Reply:
If your 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Willys edition has a factory plastic or steel bumper then the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1139 would be a compatible fit for your vehicle. The Blue Ox Tow Bar Wiring Kit # BLU79FR you referenced would also be a fit for your Jeep but I recommend cutting off the 4-pole connector and wiring this kit into a 6-pole socket and 7-way cable kit like part # RM-146-7. This would allow you to also run a charge line cable like part # RM-156-25 so that you Jeep's battery maintains it's charge while you tow.
If you haven't picked out the rest of your components then I have the following recommendations for you as well:
Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # e47ZR. This tow bar has safety cables bracketed to the arms so you won't have to purchase any separately or worry about them dragging on the ground. The shank and head also offer a bit of adjustability to help keep the tow bar level between the motorhome and Jeep.
Braking System: Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700. This proportional system will provide the same intensity braking in the Jeep compared to how hard you press on the pedal in your motorhome. The actuator box can mount under a seat or in the trunk space for a hidden design.
Since the brake light switch wire in your Jeep isn't useable you'll also need to pick up the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751490 in order to get the braking signal for the indicator light that will install in the dash of your motorhome to show you when the brakes are being applied.
