Hey Michael, welcome back! You'll need the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit item # RM-521448-4 to flat tow a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. It's going to attach directly to the Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar item # RM-504 that connects to a 2-5/16" hitch ball. This setup will look like the picture I attached below.
Please note that the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit item # RM-521448-4 will only work with the standard factory bumper. We also have the Roadmaster item # RM92FR that works with the Warn Elite bumper.
Here are the rest of the parts you'll need to flat tow your 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited:
Wiring Harness - EZ Light Wiring Harness item # BX88285
Braking System - Blue Ox Patriot Portable item # BLU37TR and the 12 Volt Outlet Kit item # RM-9332
What are you going to be pulling your Jeep with and what kind of bumper do you have?
