Question:
I have a 2027 Jeep Gladiator Sport with the factory plastic bumper that I want to flat tow behind our gas motorhome with hydraulic brakes. I'd prefer a braking system that stays installed in the Jeep instead of having to set up a portable one every time. What parts would you recommend for a complete setup?

Hey Ethan! For your 2027 Jeep Gladiator Sport with the factory plastic bumper, I recommend the following flat towing setup:
-etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98948
-etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e94ZR
-etrailer Tow Bar Cover # e76FV (Optional)
-Roadmaster Diode Wiring Kit # RM-15267 (Without ParkSense)
OR
-Roadmaster Smart Diode Wiring Kit # RM63MR (With ParkSense)
-Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO Braking System # DM86VR
-Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25
The etrailer XHD tow bar includes safety cables and has a built-in rise/drop to keep your setup level. You will need to choose your wiring based on whether or not your Gladiator has ParkSense. The Stay-IN-Play DUO is the best choice for a permanent brake system. This is designed for your motorhome's hydraulic brakes and includes wireless monitoring.
Where are you headed once you get everything set up?

We're planning to take the Gladiator out west next summer. One other question, if we decided to go with a portable braking system instead, is there one you'd recommend that would work with our motorhome?
