Towing

I have a 2009 Tiffin 32 ft gas motorhome. I am interested in buying a 2016 Jeep Renegade Latitude 4x4 to tow behind my motorhome. However, it does not have the 4x4 neutral gear/shift. Does anyone tow this vehicle? How can I prepare it for towing - I prefer not to buy a car dolly...Thanks in advance!

  • Get a Wrangler Unlimited instead! Four doors, hardtop, tow 4 down and more capable.

    I like that link. I also like the statement in that link,
    Before purchasing a vehicle for dinghy towing ask to read the owner's manual to confirm that the vehicle is approved by the manufacturer for flat towing.

  • Only the All Wheel Drives are 4 down towable. And there is a prceedure to place it in nuetral, usually you need to push a little button with a pen. Check the owner's manual.
  • Please, folks, remember that some newbies may not be fully cognizant of the acronyms commonly used by RVers.
    When "FWD" is posted, does the Newby see "Front Wheel Drive" ( which is likely what the poster meant), or does the Newby see "Four Wheel Drive"?
    I must admit, even after all the years I have been using this site, acronyms are sometimes confusing!
  • Nope! It cannot be flat towed behind a motor home. If it's FWD you can put it on a dolly.
  • read the owner's manual under either towing behind a motorhome or recreational towing. that is the only valid source of this information, not internet rumors. do NOT buy something that needs modification, drive shaft disconnect, tranny pump, etc. to be able to tow it.

    Trailer only
    Can't be towed 4 down
    Can't be towed on dolly


    You can download owners manual and read 'towing guide'
    Same for any vehicle you are considering


    You can also check Remco for information about vehicle towing....LINK
