Expert Reply:
We can definitely get your 2023 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon with the factory plastic bumper set up for flat towing. I'll go ahead and list out below everything you need:
- Base Plate Kit: etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98967
- Tow Bar: etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e94ZR
- Wiring Kit (if Jeep does NOT have ParkSense proximity sensors): Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-15267
OR
- Wiring Kit (if Jeep has ParkSense proximity sensors): Roadmaster Smart Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights # RM63MR
- Supplemental Braking System: Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # DM86VR
- Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Wire Kit for Demco Supplemental Braking Systems # DM66VR
The base plates are great because they have removable tabs which means the base plate kit is going to be hidden well when you aren't flat towing it. The XHD tow bar has a hefty 10,000 lb capacity to easily pull your Gladiator, is easy to use with it's non-binding trigger release, and comes with safety cables so you don't have to buy those separately.
The diode wiring kits will prevent any type of electrical feedback, keeping your Jeep's electrical system safe, so just make sure you get the right kit, depending on if you have the optional ParkSense feature on your Gladiator. As for the braking system, the Stay-IN-Play DUO is easily the best because it gives you braking proportional to that of your motorhome. So when you hit the brakes on your motorhome, your Jeep is going to get the same amount of braking power, resulting in much smoother braking than other systems. And finally, the battery charge line will keep your Jeep's battery charged at all times, even on long journeys.
