Jeep Toad accumulate miles?

When you put the transfer case in neutral and the tranny in a gear/Park, the ODO does not spin any miles.

My Jeep wrangler manual transmission has been towed since 2002. The miles do not roll around when towing. The transfer case in neutral and the manual transmission in 2nd. Just like the book says.

X2 same here when I was towing my 99 Jeep Wrangler... Does not add miles to the Jeep when being towed. I would always use the transfer case to pull it out of gear. Some of the older jeeps had the hub locks to flip to keep the wheels from turning the gears.

My '14 Wrangler does NOT accumulate miles during towing.

NO worry, it has an electronic speedometer and when the key is off and engine not running no miles register. If it did my Wrangler would have MUCHO more miles on it.

My Jeep Grand Cherokee will show the miles because key needs to be on Accessorie to run the auxiliary brake. However, I wired auxiliary brake direct to battery so miles no longer show. Just need to turn key 1 click to unlock steering wheel.
Oops missed Wrangler.... never mind.

Why didn't they just set the trip odometer to zero before towing, then check it when they unhooked? Seems like the obvious solution to me.

They haven't set it up to tow yet. Their concern before they did was whether it accumulated miles. Hence the question.

As the old saying goes, "What difference does it make?" I always want a toad with me.

there was a short time in the mid 2000's that the wrangler DID show mileage when towing. They then went back to no mileage after their "screw up". MY 1992 wrangler shows 180,000 on odometer and my motorhomes have racked up an additional 100,000 and the jeep is still going strong.
