Hey Brent, welcome back! I did some digging and the High Tide 2025 Jeep Gladiator is a Florida exclusive version that is very similar to the Sport model so for a Demco base plate kit you'd need the part # DM9519336.

Then for a lighting kit we have the Blue Ox part # BLU79FR which is specific to your Gladiator and installs easily by plugging inline with the taillights of your vehicle. Since you have a 7-way on your tow vehicle you'd also need the adapter part # 337TC2074P.

the base plate worked perfectly. The only cutting was to allow the tabs to come thru the plastic deflector on the Jeep.

I am using the Commander also for my wrangler flat tow. In addition I also use the Brake Buddy Stealth braking system because I wanted everything permanent installed and hidden instead of a break box to be installed at the break pedal for each use. It’s a very easy installation and practical design with only 3 cuts you have to make on the Jeep plastic deflector. The installation keeps the mount hidden with only tow bar attachments and the 7 pin adapter accessible for connecting.

I installed the Demco Base plate on my 2025 Gladiator Nighthawk. The plate fits very well and looks much better than some of the others. I have towed the Jeep well over 10 thousand miles with no issues. Also the wire kit is a plug and play, pull off the tail light and plug it in. I wired mine to a 6 pin and made a the other end to 7 pin. Hope this helps

I installed the Demco Tabless Base Plate on my 2022 Wrangler Sahara. With a friends help we had it installed in an afternoon. Directions are straight forward and mostly accurate. Using Demco Commander II Non-Binding Tow Bar - RV Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs. For the electrics I used the Curtis Custom tail light kit, plug & play, no issues. I snaked the cable through the frame member, cut off the 4 pin plug and inserted the wires into the 7 pin connector provided by Demco. My departure from the standard is my M&G braking system, so glad I made that choice. Braking is excellent, instructions precise, includes notes for the JL & Gladiator, tech support (by the engineer) superb. First trip Buckley WA to Desert Hot Springs Zero issues - very happy.
