I flat tow a jeep unlimited with a blue ox. Hitch has a 4 inch drop to level the towbar.

Question for Jeep flat towers What are you doing for brakes? We are looking at Jeep wranglers

Russtj60 · 02-21-2017, 03:48 PM

I use the Blue Ox Patriot. We are happy with it.

23.5 to center of pin, 22.5 to bottom inside of box receiver

Wow, I called the dealer to measure for me, he told me 25" from ground to center pin. Do you think once loaded it would squat as much as 2.5 to 3" ?

Stuart; we use the Stay And Play Duo, little more trouble to install, so easy to tow. Plug it in, flip a switch and go.

Stuart,
I use the RVI 2 on my Wrangler. The Stay in play is also good. I just wasn't ready to have it installed on my new jeep.

We are not very loaded. So I don't think we would be down at all. Bedding, Potts and pans, dishes empty tanks 1/2 tank of gas

Makes me wonder if the coach they measured was parked on an incline. Thank for measuring!

Note it left the factory at just over 21500
Lol and that included me at 230 pounds when it was weighed

Thanks Russ and Steve on Jeep info, there are a lot of options to look at I watched videos on both of yours and am learning a lot.
Although quite a few love them the system with the cable from the hitch to the pedal is not for me. ( sorry forgot the name)
