Does Steering Wheel of 2020 Jeep Wrangler JL Need to Be Unlocked When Flat Towing
Published 10/08/2019
Question:
Does the steering wheel of the Wrangler JL not lock into position with the vehicle turned off? I cant find where this is addressed in the manual, or on line.

The 2020 Jeep Wrangler JL does not have a steering wheel lock. In 2008 Jeep did away with that function so if your plan is to flat tow your JL you do not need to worry about the steering wheel being locked. There are very specific instructions in your owners manual about flat towing though that you need to follow.
The Roadmaster base plate kit part # RM-521453-4 is the correct kit for your JL though. I attached an install video for more info on the kit as well.
