Question:
If I wanted to flat tow my 2018 Jeep Renegade FWD with the engine idling, what parts would I need?

Expert Reply:
I went ahead and checked out the owner's manual for your 2018 Jeep Renegade, and you are actually not going to be able to flat tow this vehicle per the manufacturer.
Instead, it is recommended to use a car trailer that will lift all 4 wheels off the ground.
You can however use a tow dolly, like the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes # DM9713045 instead.
This will lift the front two wheels off of the ground to allow you to safely tow your 2018 Jeep Renegade.
