Had a 2014 jeep wrangler and jeep instructions for flat towing recommended disconnecting the battery. Just purchased a 2018 Jeep wrangler JK and the instructions do not say anything about disconnecting the battery. I have a full blue ox towing system. What does disconnecting the negative post on the battery accomplish? 80436
You're right that your new 18 Wrangler doesn't require that the battery be disconnected for flat towing. Some vehicle models (like your 14 Wrangler) need the battery disconnected because there's still a power draw while in flat tow mode that could deplete it during travel. This isn't a concern with your new Jeep. 66293
Flat towing 07 Jeep Wrangler went through the set up to flat tow do you leave key on what about steering does it track or do you lock wheel? New to flat towing.Thanks 70912
According to the owner's manual for your 07 Wrangler, the key should be put into the ACC position. I highly recommend checking your manual as well for further steps on how to shift into neutral for flat towing (starts on page 346). You would want to keep the steering wheel unlocked so that it can track behind the RV. 57919
Helpful info. Where can we have a roadmaster kit installed? Thinking about getting a 2012-2014 jeep wrangler. Whats involved and about how much money to have installed? 70863
Base plate installation is a relatively in-depth process but it's something any local mechanic/shop should be able to handle without too much trouble. The actual install cost will depend on your local shop rates but if you bring along the install manual attached to the Roadmaster # RM-521448-4 product page you should be able to get an accurate estimate before dropping off the keys. Roadmaster lists an install time of around 2 hours. 57886
