Hey Phillip. The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit item # RM35GR weighs 43 lbs. It has been confirmed to fit the 2024 Jeep Wrangler with a factory steel bumper with or without a winch.

Here are the rest of the parts you will need to flat tow your 2024 Jeep Wrangler.

Tow Bar and Safety Chains - etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plates item # e74ZR

Wiring Kit - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267
or
If your Jeep has the ParkSense Proximity Sensors - Roadmaster Wiring Kit for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights item # RM63MR

Supplemental Braking System - Curt RVi Series Shadow 2 Flat Tow Brake System item # RVI94FR for a permanent install or the Curt RVi Series 4 Portable Flat Tow Brake System item # RVI44FR for a portable system.

Please note you will also need the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit item # RM-751495 if you go with the permanently installed item # RVI94FR. This makes sure your braking system isn't applying when it's not supposed to.

High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.

What kind of motorhome do you have?

Hey Phillip, how did things go with the Roadmaster base plate on your Wrangler? Did the 43-lb weight and fit with the factory steel bumper work out as expected? Your update could make it easier for others setting up a similar flat tow setup.
