I certainly does not on any vehicle that is out of the stone age. The new tech on vehicles will not register miles.

Dead horse syndrome
Trying to learn whether or not something is true or not, is not necessarily a "Dead horse" beating scenario. Apparently there are some that think racking up mileage on a towed vehicle DOES exist. And, this is why questions are ASKED on here. So far, it seems the majority are claiming there are NO MILES added when towing. And, as we all know, there ARE sometimes, changes on vehicles from year to year. So, is it possible for one year of a commonly towed vehicle (Jeep JK) to rack up miles when towed and, then other years of the same vehicle, to NOT rack up any miles?
We've towed many Jeeps over the years and, for the most part, NONE of them have ever accumulated any miles when being towed. But, I'm not an EXPERT as to the mechanical or, electrical design of intricate components, of later model year JKs. So, this is why I asked. Of course it seems logical that they SHOULDN'T accumulate mileage but, sometimes logic does not always prevail when it comes to man-made items. As stated, we've towed many vehicles, including not only Jeeps but, Honda CRVs, Toyota pickups, GMC pickups and more and, to this date, I've never seen any data, in any owners manual, or any other printed matter, that states: "This vehicle WILL NOT accumulate mileage, when being flat towed".
