For a 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4XE you'll need the following components:

Baseplate: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5. These custom-fit baseplates are designed to work with factory bumpers, if you have an aftermarket bumper please let me know and I can start looking for the correct fit.

Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e74ZR. This tow bar is designed to fit the baseplates I recommended above and comes with safety cables included so you won't have to purchase them separately. The head and shank are adjustable to help keep the tow bar level without the use of a high/low adapter.

Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This wiring kit will allow your motorhome's brake and turn signals to transfer through your Wrangler's tail light in a simple one time installation.

If you have ParkSense Proximity sensors then you'll need to use the Roadmaster Wiring Kit with Smart Diodes for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights # RM47ZR along with the Roadmaster 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Kit # RM-146-7.

Braking System: Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39524. This system does require setup every time you need to tow but is super easy to do. It's comes with a charge line kit included to keep your Wrangler's battery charged while you tow.

If you don't have the motorhome side charge line in place then you can also pick up the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Motorhomes # RM-156-75.

I've attached installation videos below to help walk you through the process if you choose to install these yourself.
