Jeep “Death Wobble”
I want to share my experience towing a 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, as it might help others avoid the problems I have encountered when towing. It’s known as the Jeep Death Wobble, which I’m sure some...

I have a Wrangler and a Cherokee, both have no issues as a TOAD. Cherokee is much nicer to tow and it is a 2016 with zero death wobble.
I am not sure why it is important to show you booty and try and explain what "death wobble" is to everyone. The original (if such a thing) is an issue that stemmed from lifting Broncos, Jeeps, and trucks long, long time ago. The large tires provide a large amount of torque on the front suspension with anything that causes a tire to spin funny can create the wobble. The issue on the Cherokee has nothing to with death wobble. It is the lack of steer behind the motorhome and causes a hop as it goes back and forth. Death wobble on the lifted vehicles can actually be controlled with a stabilizer until it is too severe. Tire balance and/or worn components equals death wobble. It is a different think on the Cherokee, but who cares. I am glad Jeep/MOPAR decided to address it.

Did you have the flat tow harness installed on the Cherokee or do you tow it as is?
