Can you flat tow a Jeep Rubicon?

I just bought a Jeep Rubicon to go off-roading. However, I’ve never had to tow a Jeep before, and I wasn’t sure how I should tow it to avoid damage. Can I flat tow a Jeep Rubicon behind my RV?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
You can flat tow the Jeep Rubicon as well as any other Jeep Wrangler model, regardless of the trim or model year. You just need to follow a few directions:
  • Make sure that the transfer case is in neutral.
  • Put the car in park if it’s an automatic; manual cars should be in gear (not in neutral).
  • Always tow in a forward direction.
Alternatively, you can use a flatbed trailer to tow the Jeep Rubicon, although you should never dolly tow a Jeep Rubicon. If you dolly tow the Jeep Rubicon, you can damage the drivetrain and transmission of the vehicle.
If you need to buy some equipment to flat tow the Rubicon, start by slashing your
Jeep Rubicon insurance costs
 with the
Jerry
 app.
Jerry is a
trustworthy super app
 and insurance comparison tool that collects quotes from over 55 top-rated insurers in just 45 seconds. After you find a great rate for your Jeep Rubicon, Jerry can help you buy new insurance and cancel your old policy. Users save an average of $800+ per year.
