Hello all, my 2022 Gladiator is fresh off the press. My question, probably first of many, is to flat tow with a base plate or new bumper. I use a Blue Ox behind the RV.
Any and all comments are appreciated.

I flat tow my '21 Overland Diesel with a Blue Ox base plate behind my '22 Class "C".

I went with the aluminum Rock Hard bumper and love it. Improves the look, adds functionality, i dont have to keep track of other parts and probably weighs less than the stock bumper. I use the NSA tow bar so it also gave me a good place to mount the cables for the brake and breakaway. I also tow behind a class 'c'

I use the Rock Hard aluminum bumper(37lbs) with a Warn Evo 8s(52lbs). Only gained a few pounds with little sag. I use the Roadmaster All-Terrain tow bar. Tows great with my Class C.

I have a new "shorty" bumper with a winch and my Blue Ox base plate sites right below it. I like the set up.

I use the blue ox base as well. Tucks up nicely under skid plate with minimal trimming.

On my 2020 JT I went with a Rugged Ridge Spartan bumper and Blue Ox adapters; on my wife's 2022 JLU I went with the Blue Ox baseplate because she didn't want to change out the stock bumper. Both mate up real easy to our NSA Ready Brute Elite tow bar.

EDIT:
I’m sorry. Mine is the road master direct connect.

I use Maximus 3 tow loops, they are awesome. Maximus is also great to work with

I, too went with the Maximus 3 tow loops. I think they’re the least obvious option, and easy to install.
