We tow a 4100 pound 2006 Jeep Liberty 4x4 automatic with a mechanical/manual transfer case shifter. It is a friendly tow vehicle. I myself wired up the lights, installed the tow bar bracket, and also the Unified tow brake. All works well even though I did everything myself :)
There are some things to learn about towing. One is that you can never back up with the tow vehicle attached. It simply does not work. The tow vehicle steering has it's own mind when backing up. And don't think your spouse can get in and help it along. That doesn't work either.

Note the off-set receiver adapter attached to the motor home.
THIS IS BAD
We got a lot of "Bucking" action with this setup.
Fortunately it was learned on a short trip.
