Wrangler TJ
I was curious if anyone was towing 4-down a TJ Wrangler with the venerable 4.0L Strait 6 (automatic). Any thoughts comments appreciated. Thanks, Vince

In the past, I towed a '95 Wrangler with a 4 cylinder manual tranny, and later an '06 Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited 6 cylinder manual tranny.
The instructions for recreational towing are in the Owners Manual.
IMO, 4X4 Wranglers are one of the best vehicles available for towing behind a motorhome or truck/camper rig.
There are limitations, though. ONLY 4X4 Wranglers are towable four down, however they can not be dolly towed unless the rear drive shaft is removed. 4X2 Wranglers are NOT towable four down or on a dolly unless the drive shaft is removed, regardless of the type of transmission. These restrictions are spelled out in the Owners Manual.
It is well to remember that many people (even some Jeep owners) are not completely familiar with the model designations (TJ, XJ, LJ, etc.). It is better to identify Jeeps with the model year, especially on a general forum.
