Hey Charles, nice Jeep! What you need is the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5. This is confirmed to fit your 2026 Jeep Gladiatory Willys with the factory steel bumper.

It looks like you already picked up wiring, and you have the Nighthawk # RM-676 which will hook right up to this base plate. The only other thing you'll need is a brake system like the Curt RVibrake Shadow 2 # RVI94FR to complete your setup.

What kind of motorhome do you have and where are you headed once you get the Gladiator all set up?

I bought the roadmaster base plate for my 2024 Gladiator Rubicon. Was easy to install. Since then I have towed my Jeep from the MS more than 7000 miles behind my Motorhome with no problem at all . Easy hookup. Don't even know it's there without checking camera. Good product at a good price.

@EarlR it's great to hear the installation went smoothly and that you've put over 7,000 trouble-free towing miles on it. We really appreciate you taking the time to come back and share your experience. Safe travels!

This base plate is perfect for my 2025 rubicon x. I love the way it tucks under the truck. You barely notice it when the bars are not attached. Easy disconnect. Can’t be any happier
