Can you flat tow a Jeep Wrangler with an automatic transmission?

I want to go on a road trip to the West, but I also want to bring along my Jeep Wrangler to hit some off-road trails. I’m taking my RV, so I’m thinking about flat towing my Wrangler, but I want to make sure it’s feasible. Can I tow my Wrangler if it has an automatic transmission?

You can definitely flat tow a
Jeep
Wrangler with an automatic transmission, as Jeep has designed all models of the Wrangler to be flat towed for decades. However, you should follow a few simple steps to successfully tow a Jeep Wrangler with an automatic:
  1. Install a tow bar.
  2. Hook up the towing equipment per the specifications.
  3. Put the Jeep in Tow Mode.
  4. Shift the Jeep into neutral.
  5. Release the parking brake.
