Jeep Liberty

The new 2014 Guide to Dingy Towing lists the Jeep Patriot as being able to be towed (four wheels down) but when I called the Jeep Dealership they said that it is not towable? Does anyone have any experience with this vehicle and it's ability to be towed?
  • From the 2014 Jeep Patriot owner's manual:
    "Vehicles equipped with manual transmissions may be recreationally towed (flat towed) at any legal highway speed, for any distance, if the manual transmis- sion is in NEUTRAL and the ignition key is in the ACC position."
  • I'd call the mfr. first. I called GM customer service and they told me the Cruze could be towed four down but after hearing from some one here who thought they knew better I called GM again. The second time I spoke to a different GM person and they said it couldn't be towed four down. You never know who to believe. :h
  • The last Liberty model year was 2012. That's why it's not listed in the 2014 guide. The Liberty is very easily towed 4 down in the 4 WD model. Liberty, Wrangler and Grand Cherokee can all be towed 4 down in the 4 WD versions due to being able to shift the transfer case to neutral.

    As stated previously the Patriot can only be towed 4 down with a manual transmission.
  • The Liberty was replaced by the Cherokee which can be towed 4 down. (Different from the Grand Cherokee).
