Hi Jerry!
We can definitely get you everything you need to flat tow your 2023 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon and I have a full list below. I do have both a Roadmaster and Blue Ox base plate listed as I wasn't 100% sure on what you meant by push in and twist, as both brands do that. Figured it was safer listing both and you would then pick the one that matches your tow bar. : )
Base Plates:
Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BLU53FR
Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521453-5
Wiring:
With LEDs and/or ParkSense: Roadmaster Smart Diode Kit for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights - 7-Way to 6-Way Adapter Cord # RM63MR
W/out LEDs: Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 7-Way to 6-Way Coiled Adapter Cord # RM-15267
Braking System:
Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brakes - Proportional # SM99251
Demco Air Force One Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Air Brakes - Proportional # SM99243
I didn't know what style brakes you towing rig has, so I included an option for air and hydraulic.
Speaking of which, what are you going to be towing your Gladiator with?
