Recommended Flat Tow Setup for a 2024 Jeep Wrangler Sport S  

Updated 08/06/2026 | Published 07/30/2026

Question:

I have a 2024 Jeep Wrangler Sport S that I need to get rigged for towing. What babe plate, tow bar, etc. would you recommend for my set-up. I was guessing the E9848 babe plate, e34zr tow bar, RV194fr shadow 2 braking system and C96JR custom wiring kit. Your suggestions please and what else will I need?

Standing ovation Dennis, you've picked out an excellent flat tow setup for your 2024 Jeep Wrangler Sport S!

That's one of the most popular vehicles to flat tow and the parts you selected pair together really well.

etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98948 – This is a direct fit for your Wrangler and it's compatible with the etrailer SD Tow Bar # e34ZR. The removable arms also give the Jeep a clean appearance when you're not towing.

etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e34ZR – It has self supporting, non binding arms, integrated safety cables, and a built in rise/drop, making hookup and disconnect much easier.

Roadmaster BrakeMaster Shadow 2 # RVI94FR – Another excellent choice that pairs well with the rest of your setup. Just be sure your motorhome is compatible with the Shadow 2 system, and you'll be in great shape.

Curt Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit # C96JR – This plugs into your Wrangler's factory wiring, so there's no cutting or splicing required.

I'd recommend adding a charge line kit like the Roadmaster Kit # RM-156-25. It allows your motorhome to maintain the Jeep's battery while towing. I's much needed when using a permanent braking system like the Roadmaster BrakeMaster Shadow 2.

A Tow Bar Cover # e76FV is optional but it's a great way to protect the tow bar while it's stored on the back of your motorhome.

Overall, you've put together a solid flat tow package, and I don't see anything I'd change for your Wrangler.

What motorhome are you planning to tow the Wrangler behind? Also, I can confirm the style of brakes on the motorhome are compatible with the Shadow 2.

The Etrailer invisible base plate is great! A lot less hardware to see on your front end. I like it.

@Aaron thanks for stopping by and we appreciate the feedback! Did you get a base plate for a Jeep Gladiator or was it a different vehicle?

@Aaron Nice, do you use it to tow or just as a flat tow vehicle?
