Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2017 Jeep Wrangler  

Updated 08/07/2025 | Published 07/13/2025

Question:

I’m looking at a 2017 Jeep Wrangler two door with automatic transmission for a tow vehicle behind my c class rv. I have the Blue Ox tow bar and safety cables, we tow a Smart car now. Do you offer a package with everything I would need to get the Jeep flat towable? Also, I think I will want the Demco Stay and Play for the braking system. Thank you. Mike

Hey Mike! I can definitely set you up with all of the parts you need to flat tow your 2017 Jeep Wrangler. You already have the tow bar and safety cables so you will need the base plate, tow bar wiring, and the brake system. I recommend the following:

-Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1126 (Assuming standard factory bumper)

-Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-15267

-Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25

-Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brakes # SM99251

The Stay-IN-Play Duo is a great choice and what I would have recommended regardless for a supplemental brake system. The only other thing you may need is a high-low adapter to keep you level. I went ahead and attached an article below which explains how to measure and choose the right adapter.

What kind of motorhome do you have?

Hey Mike, how did everything go with setting up your Jeep for flat towing? Did the Stay-IN-Play Duo work out for you? I'm curious because it could really help others looking to do the same thing!
