What jeep models can be flat towed?

If there's anything that goes together like peanut butter and jelly (or whatever your favorite pairing is), it's Jeeps and flat towing. When it comes to towable vehicles, Jeep models are commonly seen cruising behind motorhomes via flat tow. Unfortunately, not all models are flat towable. For example, you might see an RVer "trying" to tow their Jeep Renegade when in reality it is prohibited by the manufacturer.Moral of the story: Not everything you see others doing or towing on the road makes it right or safe. This article will explore some of the most popular models of Jeeps that you can flat tow safely.

Takeaway Before spending the time and money on a flat tow setup, we highly recommend consulting your owner's manual first to ensure your vehicle is towable. Failure to do so could potentially void your manufacturer's warranty or worse, cause damage to yourself and your investment(s). All and all, Jeeps are a great and popular option for a tow vehicle (and maybe a new passengar named Willy the #etrailerjeepduck).
