Can a 2018 Jeep Renegade Manual Transmission with 4WD be Flat Towed?
Published 12/20/2018
Question:
Your 2018 Jeep Renegade manual transmission with 4WD cannot be flat towed or dolly towed. It must be towed using a trailer with all 4 wheels off the ground. Towing the vehicle with any of the wheels on the ground can cause damage to the transmission and/or power transfer unit. I've attached a photo of the owner's manual pages that confirm this.
