It has been awhile since posting last. I have only had the opportunity to tow the Jeep once. I tried the white rag on the steering wheel. From what I could see, all seemed to track correctly. I even lengthened the safety chains. It still drug the jeep around the same corner and stalled out. It really seems to be prevalent when turning right? Still more to do before I throw in the towel.

Thanks to all for the great suggestions. I especially like the post about the ass end of the coach rotating counter to the turn. That explained a lot especially as to why the Jeep jumps up on the curb when I pull away from parking close to it.

Tow bars level and what are they. I forget the year of your Jeep and are you sure the steering isn't locked. Also assuming it's wheels are in proper alignment, but still can't see this happening.

It is a Falcon II tow bar, the jeep is a 2014 Rubicon 4 door. I am very sure the wheels aren't locked. The new Jeeps don't like to have the battery disconnected so when I put the key in the unlock position everything is on. I even tried to disengage the traction control. No Joy .........
