What year Rubicon, 2 or 4 door. I tow a 2015 2dr Sahara automatic, and no issues towing it with my 2016 Ford gasser. My brake system does not require power to the Jeep, getting ready to tow is easy.
Park on level ground, hookup Jeep
Set park brake
Key on (DO NOT START ENGINE)
Transmission to neutral
Transfer to neutral
Transmission to Park
Release park brake
Remove Key (modern jeeps don’t have steering wheel lock)
Get out of car give it a good push backward(the reason level spot)
If it rolls you are good to go
I have been towing for several years and have had to unhook maybe twice to exit gas station.
