Ignition Key Position When Flat Towing 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
Question:
Does this 2013 have to be in the accessory position when being towed or can it be off- I had another older jeep that did but I have heard the new ones are different.

Helpful Expert Reply:
I consulted an online copy of the 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Owner's Manual, and found that the information regarding flat towing procedures begins on page number 532.
The procedures outlined make no mention of what position the key needs to be in, but the ignition will need to be turned to the ACC position to unlock the steering wheel. Towing with the steering locked can damage the front tires and the steering system.
I have linked you to some additional information about flat towing that you might find helpful.
