  The difference between the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5 and Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-4 is how tow bars attach.

• What is the Difference Between The Roadmaster EZ4 and EZ5 for My 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited?
  The only difference between the Roadmaster EZ4 # RM-521453-4 and the EZ5 # RM-521453-5 is that the EZ5 includes the direct connect brackets that allow you to attach the plates to a motorhome-mounted tow bar like the Roadmaster Falcon # RM-522. This ultimately makes for a faster setup. On the EZ4, you need to purchase an additional part # 910021-00 in order to have that same efficient feature.

The Guardian Rock Guard can have rocks and other debris ricochet off it and damage the paint on the rear of your RV, but the Tow Defender will completely negate...

• Flat Towing Procedures and Setup for 2020 Jeep Gladiator
  On the Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Truck models the steering wheel does not actually lock with the ignition in the off position, it just has a loss of power steering-which is likely what you're experiencing.

With that being said, in order to flat tow you'll need to have the transfer case set to N (neutral)....
