does a 2017 jeep grand cherokee add on miles while being flat towed ?

Expert Reply:
Flat towing a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee will not add miles to the odometer of your Jeep. It will however still create wear on your tires for instance so it is a good idea to track the mileage towed for maintenance reasons. Most modern vehicles will only track miles on the odometer when they are running and utilizing their transmission.
If you are interested in recommendations for a complete system for your vehicle, let me know and I'd be happy to help with that or any other questions you have.
