Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2024 Jeep Wrangler  

Updated 08/07/2025 | Published 07/03/2025

Question:

Hello, looking for a complete flat tow system for a 2024 Jeep 2 door wrangler. Not looking for anything fancy as it would only be used maybe 1 or twice a year. I would assume that most states require a braking system also even though it is under 400 pounds, thanks

Hey Rich, the first thing you'd need is a base plate kit which for that the Roadmaster Direct Connect kit part # RM-521453-5 is a fit and would be the best priced option that will work great.

In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terrain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which makes the setup very easy to connect/disconnect.

For lighting/safety cables, locks, and covers for the tow bar we have the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain kit part # RM-9243-1 which comes with all of that as one part number. The diode kit that comes with this allows you to splice into the taillight wiring so that your RV controls the vehicle taillights and does not require drilling into the taillight housings. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.

And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles.

Hey Rich, how did the setup go with the Roadmaster base plate kit and the other components for your Jeep Wrangler? I'm curious to know if everything worked smoothly for you, as it might help others in a similar situation.
