Tow vehicle specs

We used to tow a Jeep Liberty with an automatic.
Just finished setting up our 2020 Jeep Wrangler for towing.
Went with Blue Ox equipment.
Roadmaster diode light kit splices into your tail lights easily.
Jeeps are popular because they are so easy to tow.
Put transfer case in neutral and transmission in park and you are ready.
As others said, check the manual to verify the one you are looking at will work.

looks like Remco is getting out of the toad biz... the best info on the flat towability of a specific yr/make/model is the mfr.

I am a newbie to this, but just had my Grand Cherokee hooked up to my Tiffin 33 with Blue Ox and Air Force set up. After doing some research, (not exhaustive), it seems Jeeps in general because of their transaxle, are easiest to tow. I bought the GC for this reason (2018) and seems to be pretty straightforward. My coach is rated at 10000 towing capacity and GC only weighs around 4500 lbs or so. I really didn't want to use dolly for towing. One more thing to deal with at campgrounds....but a lot CHEAPER! I bought set up and had everything installed and spent over $5,000+. Hope this helps.

most, not all, jeeps can be flat towed with either manual or automatic transmission. best to check the owner’s manual for the specufic year and model jeep you’re looking at. directions should be in a section titled “Recreational Towing” or similar wording.

you’re also going to need a baseplate for the jeep, a towbar and an auxillary braking system. lots of choices for these.

but before you buy anything make sure you know how much weight you can safely tow. a quick way is to subtract the GVWR from the GCWR but that won’t tell the complete story. so let’s say the curb weight of the jeep you want weighs in at 4200-lbs but your MH’s specs indicates the GCWR - the GCWR is only 4000-lbs. that jeep is too heavy.

and be sure the hitch on the MH is rated to tow the weight of the jeep. even some diesels gave 5000-lb hitches. even if the tow bar is rated for more weight than the GCWR-GVWR test you’re stuck with the smaller figure.

the best way is to get actual axle weights of the MH you’ve bought or will be buying. or at least calculate those weights.

Don’t buy any vehicle to use as a four down toad unless the manufacturer says you can and you comply with any requirements. For instance, 2020 Chevy Equinox...two wheel drive...four down ok...all wheel drive...no. You may need a dolly depending on the toad you buy but they are a pain...three vehicles instead of two.
