The short answer is none, they all need a baseplate to attach the tow bar to and a braking system. Go to this forum and do some reading. https://www.irv2.com/forums/f85/
Happy toad hunting.

Just about all towed vehicles will need some level of modification to flat tow. From lights, auxiliary brakes, base plate, some require fuses to be removed or bypassed. Some are easier to mod than others. In my opinion the the easiest vehicle to get ready for towing, and perhaps the least expensive (the towing components not the car) is a Jeep Wrangler coupled to the NSA Ready Brute Elite tow bar/brake system. I believe with the Jeep you can either swap out the OEM bumper for one that is ready for towing, or install a base plate.

Jeep Wrangler 4X4 is super easy to set up and tow.

I was able to put baseplates and wiring for lights on both my 2017 dodge ram 1500 and 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee myself. On the Jeep I had to drill two holes. Half days work for both not being a pro. FYI...the Jeep GC has to be a limited or better to have the proper transmission to flat tow.

We really love our 2013 Honda CRV! They are flat-towable through the 2014 models!
