Hey Charles,

If you're wanting to go with Blue Ox components for your flat tow setup then I have the following recommendations:

Baseplate: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU53FR.

Tow Bar: Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7380. This will also include your safety cables.

Tow Bar Wiring Kit: We no longer offer the Blue Ox wiring harness (BX88368) so I recommend going with the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 unless you have ParkSense Proximity Sensors, in which case you'll need smart diodes # RM63MR instead.

Braking System: Blue Ox Patriot Portable Flat Tow Brake System # BLU37TR. This system will require a 12v outlet # RM-9332 wired directly to the battery for power while you tow. Since it will be draining your battery I recommend also installing a charge line kit # RM-156-25 to avoid having a dead battery once you reach your destination.

Hey Charles, how did your flat tow setup for the Gladiator come together with the Blue Ox gear? Your update could make it easier for others planning a similar setup.
