Yes, the 2012 Jeep Patriot with 5-Speed Manual can be flat-towed with all four wheels down. In order to do so you'll need a number of parts such as base plates, tow bar, safety cables, supplemental braking system, and a wiring harness. I have attached a list with these parts below.
Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # 521441-1
Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar part # RM-520
RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables part # RM-643
Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit part # RM-154
Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System part # BLU37TR
