No! It cannot be towed on a dolly period. Serious damage will occur to the powertrain. 4X4 vehicles like these need to have all four wheels turning even when the t-case in in "N". There, you heard it direct from a Jeep engineer.

Isn't this pretty much true of most all 4x4's? I know my Dodge truck manual says the same.

Why put it on a dolly whren you can do 4 down? You have o find room at most campgrounds to park the dolly if the site is small. That is additional $$'s.

Granted that it can not be towed on a dolly, but why not tow it four down? Maybe because it will cost $3000+ to get it set up to do it. Maybe also that you have to have your car modified that could change some of your car warranty. You can pick up a good used tow dolly with breaks for less than half the price. Storage, well you just need to pick a site big enough.

The manual is always the final word.

And there you have it. Gotta be careful sometimes, never know who's gonna be listening.
