You need to verify it has the 2 speed drive train. You'll know if it does by the small neutral button behind the shift selector. If it doesn't ... You can't tow it 4 down.
You're saying that just a 4 wheel drive is not enough?
I'm really wondering how difficult the base plate is to install. I had a friend who had a Jeep Wrangler for a dinghy. I don't even think he had a base plate. Just some sort of bar that bolted under the front.
That would be correct. See dons2346 response above? The simplest way to tell is look for that tiny button I mentioned. You push it with a tip of a pen. It'll say neutral right next to it. If it's not there, no 4 down towing allowed.
The front facia needs to come off.Probably needs some minor trimming where the tow brackets come through. If you go to the Blue Ox web site you can get the installation instructions for your required base plate. The Wrangler is easier to mount than the Grand Cherokee as the bumper easily comes off the Wrangler. Our last tow car was the 2015 Grand Cherokee. It towed great. Ours all have been Blue Ox.
We have had the Brake Buddy Classic for our brake system for 5 years. It easily moves to the tow car of choice, easy to use and setup.
