I towed assorted vehicles with a blue ox tow bar.. Good product very happy with it.
Make sure you get a good aux-brake system for the Jeep. there are several out there. But I'm going to drop them into 2.2 classes.
First is the Box in the driver's seat.. Like Brake Buddy.. They say "No installation required" but the fact is you need to install it every time you tow (They mean no drilling or cable routing) and it eats power off the towed's battery.... EVERY TIME YOU TOW.. it's a chance to mess up the install or to say "oh what the heck.... I"m only going a short distance. I'll just forget it"
Both are not good.
2.1 and 2.2 are installed systems Either electrically opeerated (.1) or if you have a diesel MH with air brakes (Or a gasser with an air compressor) air operated (.2) These systems are "invisible" far as the towed's driver is concerned. they are there full time and it only takes a couple seconds to plug it in and unplug it.. and in some cases not even that.. No motive to "oh forget it".
Very good systems.
