Ok I'll give it a try here. The Jeep (among others) can be towed because the transfer case has an internal lube pump driven by the output chaft. Also the internal chain slings lube around inside. The reason for the transmission in either park (auto) or in gear is to keep transmission parts from rotating.
The lube viscosity can cause unconnected internal gears, shafts to start to rotate with speed, thus you put them in Park or in gear to prevent this.
