Hey Sean. The Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar item # RM-525 is just the tow bar with a set of adapters for a Blue Ox baseplate. It has no electrical wiring, safety chains, or braking system. You'll need to purchase those separately along with a baseplate kit. It fits a 2" hitch and has a 6,000 lbs capacity so whether or not it's going to work with your Jeep is going to depend on what model you have.
What specific model is your 2017 Jeep? I'd be happy to give you a complete list of parts you'll need to flat tow it but I need to know what specific model and sub model it is and if it's a Wrangler do you have an aftermarket bumper?
You can add this information, along with any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.

The tow bar and baseplate combo work beautifully on my 2015 Jeep Wrangler Sahara (2 Dr). Easy to attach and disconnect. I bought the “disconnect” tool, but have not needed to use it, so far. Braking system is totally separate.
