Blue Ox Base plate and Blue Ox tow bar, rated 10,000 pounds. I have the US Gear brake system, expensive, but it is simply there. hook up, plug in and go. 2008 jeep, steering is always unlocked. We have separate bulbs in the taillights. Ignition is OFF when towing. Do keep in mind you are racking up miles on the car that are not on the odometer, this is especially true regarding the brakes and you will of course need tires sooner than the indicated mileage. We have78k on the OD and probably 30k additional towing, maybe more.
