The Smittybilt XRC Gen2 bumper on the 2020 Jeep Wrangler has 3/4" thick d-rings so you can use the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts to Roadmaster Motor Home Mount Tow Bars part # RM-035 to tow with the D-rings on your bumper. Smittybilt is one of the few after market bumper manufacturers that are rated for flat towing.
To flat tow the 2020 Jeep Wrangler you will also need, a tow bar, safety cables, supplemental braking system, wiring and possibly a high low adapter. I have listed the parts I recommend below.
BlackHawk 2 All-Terrain Tow bar part # RM-422
RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables part # RM-643
Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit part # RM-751490
Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System part # RM-8700
Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit part # RM-15267
Finally you may need a high low adapter to tow the vehicle level with the motor home. In order to know how much rise or drop it will require to tow level some measuring is required. I have attached a helpful article that helps you figure out which high low adapter may be needed and our selection of high low adapters.
