After hooking up and being sure it is in neutral just go. I always check everything each time i stop and just before i get into the coach. Of course plan ahead as you cannot back up. Did you ever ride your bicycle with no hands on the bars, same principle.
Put the transfer case into neutral, NOT the transmission - leave the transmission in Park (for automatic).
Well of course, my comment was made assuming the poster knew the sequence of events that need to occur before towing to reach the neutral status. As I said, put it in neutral.
Didn't intend to make you feel like an idiot, but if the poster knew the sequence of events that need to occur before towing (from reading the owner's manual), why would he need to come here asking for advice? All the information I needed to know about towing my 2011 Wrangler I found in the Owner's Manual and I doubt that's changed for 2016.
The advice they were seeking was about the tow bar and the steering, they didn't mention anything about the neutral position. So when they read this let me be clear, you need to follow the sequence of events stated in your owners manual to achieve neutral. Being corrected or asked for clarification doesn't make me feel like an idiot. we are all here to help one another, no offense taken.
Like scott said, if you need advice about towing a jeep he is the one, he personally helped me a few times posting photos and tech advice, one smart dude.
