2013 Jeep Rubicon and Blue Ox Patriot
With regard to dinghy towing, I had (A LOT) of problems following Blue Ox directions as to plugging Patriot into jeep electrical--including my jeep ending up at the dealer for 3 days after battery ran...

We toad... a 2010 Jeep Wrangler with a Blue Ox tow-bar.
I really like that basic Blue Ox Bar... but I checked out both Blue Ox and Roadmaster attachment hardware for Jeep Wrangler and finally called regional Jeep service center.
Basically any time you drill, cut or modify a Jeep Wrangler frame or frame cross member... you VOID the Jeep warranty.
I bought the Jeep recommended Currie tow plate for my Jeep Wrangler. It's a soild one piece, bolt on steel plate, that uses existing Wrangler frame holes. It bolts solid with CAT grade bolts and strengthens the Jeep frame.
The Blue Ox Tow Bar adapts easily. I also added stainless steel safety cables directly to the tow bar.
An Idaho State Trooper inspected my set-up at a truck stop while I was refueling. He liked it so much he took a picture and said every rig should be toad with such a safe and simple tow bar set-up.
