Towing jeep 4 wheels down or on a trailer?

4 down. It's so easy an adult can do it. This is one job where I don't need my Grandson.....

I always towed 4 down.

BIG trailer?? my Wrangler fits on a 14' flat bed. and parks on it at the campgrounds.

Simply towing the jeep you'll be 17' long, just like the trailer.

Remember with a Jeep you still have two differentials and a transfer case spinning while towing 4 down.

For the price of buying a tow bar setup and having installed, you can buy a nice used 14' flat bed trailer.

4 up, no wear and tear on the jeep, you can back up.

We do it both ways, and know the disadvantage for the trailer, you must store it while not in use, they require a license plate, and routine maintenance.

I always advise new RV owners to rent a U-haul car transport trailer and see for them selves prior to spending a bunch of cash.

Then on top of it all, you gain the utility of having a trailer to tow with the jeep. We tow the trailer more with the jeep than we do the coach.

This is only my opinion: Four-Down is the only way to go...get a tow bar and baseplate from Blue Ox, Demco or Roadmaster with a great breaking system. Have it all professionally installed. (Shy away from the Curt (IHO) as they are more for off-roaders and older jeeps getting to and from the trails.) Perform maintenance and clean it after use. Happy travels.
