Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2018 Jeep Wrangler Behind Mercedes Sprinter
Products Featured in This Question
Question:
I have a customer with a 18 Jeep Wrangler 2dr they want to flat tow it behind A 25ft Mercedes sprinter. They have nothing on the tow vehicle or the vehicle being towed. What do I need to get them and can this Jeep be flat towed?

This could be a JK or a JL so you will need to determine which model this 2018 Wrangler is for the right base plate kit. Both can be flat towed. I'm also going to assume the Jeep has the standard factory bumper. If they have a different bumper let me know and I can update it. I recommend the following:
-Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521448-5 (for 2018 JK)
-Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521453-5 (for 2018 JL)
-Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-522
-Roadmaster 64" Single Hook, Straight Safety Cables # RM-645
-Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
-Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Flat Tow Brake System # SM99251
More than likely they will also need a high-low adapter. I attached an article below which explains how to measure to choose the right one. It also includes a link to all of our available adapters.
If they don't have a hitch and 7-way on the Sprinter that will also need to be added. If you can tell me if it is a 2500 or 3500 along with the year and wheelbase measurement I can see what hitches and wiring are available.
