Nope—your 2015-2023 Jeep Renegade should NOT be flat towed, according to the owner’s manual. (And here at etrailer, we strongly encourage you to follow your manufacturer’s guidelines.)
There are liability issues that come into play when flat towing against the manufacturer’s advice, including:
You’ll void your warranty - If your vehicle is under warranty, you’ll need to determine if flat towing is worth losing your coverage.
Insurance might not cover accident claims - If the worst happens while flat towing your vehicle, your insurance company may choose not to cover your claim, since you are not using the vehicle the way the manufacturer intended.
Lawsuits - This is an extreme example, but if your flat-towed vehicle is responsible for loss of life or property damage, you could be held legally liable.
Alternative OptionsSome models may be towable with a tow dolly. Other models must be transported via flatbed trailer or tow truck. Check your owner’s manual for specific advice for your particular Renegade model.
