Should You Lock The Steering Wheel When Flat Towing
Question:
When backing up to you secure the steering wheel with seatbelt
asked by: Joe
Expert Reply:
When flat towing a vehicle you'll never want to lock the steering wheel. Since you'll have all four wheels on the ground they'll need to be able to turn to so that they don't just drag and destroy your tire treads when making turns. If you were dolly towing your vehicle then you would want to lock the steering wheel. Also, you shouldn't really ever back up while flat towing your vehicle.
If you could provide the year and model of your Jeep I can assist you in finding the correct tow bar, tow bar wiring kit, base plate, braking system, and safety cables to flat tow your Jeep.
