Ball Hitch vs Reciever Hitch Blue Ox Tow Bars
Probably been discussed many times, but I can't find a thread. I will be flat towing a mostly stock 2015 Rubicon behind a truck camper with a 24" hitch extension. There seems to be two basic ways ...

I have always used a ball hitch towbar.
In fact, for many years I used one of the dreaded fixed arm adjustable width towbars ($165 at Walmart) on several different Jeeps.
But it was only rated for 5000 lbs., so when I wanted to tow a Dodge 1500 I bought a Roadmaster Stowmaster 6000 lb. capacity telescoping arm towbar. IMO, the only thing it has going for it over the old towbar is increased capacity. Other than that, I am not greatly impressed.
Now that I have a diesel, I need a 10K towbar (I haven't seen any 8K units).
