Expert Reply:

To flat tow your 2023 Jeep Gladiator you'll need the following components:

Baseplate: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU53FR.

Tow Bar: Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7420. This tow bar will also come with safety cables included so you won't have to purchase them separately.

Tow Bar Wiring Kit: If your Gladiator has ParkSense Proximity Sensors then you'll need the Roadmaster Smart Diode Wiring Kit for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights # RM63MR. If you do not have these sensors then you can just use a standard wiring kit like part # RM-15267.

Braking System: Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Motorhomes with Air Brakes # SM99243. This system is designed to tie into your motorhome's air brakes so it can only activate when the motorhome's brakes do. This kit comes with a light that hangs from the rearview mirror of your Gladiator to let you know when the brakes are being applied. If you don't mind spending a bit more you can get the version # DM26VR that comes with a Coachlink Monitor that plugs into a 12v outlet in your motorhome and will provide a much easier visual to see when the brakes are being applied.
