Towing a Jeep
I am currently a TT owner and have noticed a lot of MHs towing Jeeps. I am considering a MH purchase and am trying to find out what the advantage is to having a Jeep as your toad. DW is all for owning...

Agree with "magicbus" on ease of towing, depending on model. Check with FCA/Jeep or the Motorhome Magazine Dinghy Guides for basic towing info on the various other Jeep branded models. They don't all tow the same.
We tow a 2016 Wrangler Sahara Unlimited, and they're probably one of the simplest to tow, from the setup perspective, using Blue Ox equipment. The steering doesn't lock, so no key in ignition issues. It does track well. We had the base plate and wiring installed professionally, and everything works including towed battery charging from the tow vehicle. The Patriot II brake system seems to work well and responds well to input from the towing vehicle.
Other reasons - fun to drive, Sahara is well equipped fromm the factory, 4X4 is nice if/when needed, convertible top/removable doors if desired, lots of after market and OEM equipment mods available, wife liked it and wanted one.
