What type of towing is allowed for the Jeep Cherokee when equipped properly?

The Jeep Cherokee, when equipped properly, is suitable for flat towing, which involves towing the vehicle with all four wheels on the ground. This method is often preferred for vehicles equipped with a transfer case that allows it to be put into a neutral position, minimizing stress on the drivetrain and allowing for smooth towing.

Flat towing is particularly advantageous for recreational purposes, such as when a Jeep is used for off-road adventures or as a tow-behind vehicle for RVs. This setup helps to protect the vehicle's transmission and allows for easy maneuvering on the road without sacrificing the functionality of the vehicle.

In contrast, dolly towing, platform towing, and all-wheel towing don't align with the recommended practices for the Jeep Cherokee's capabilities. Dolly towing lifts either the front or rear wheels off the ground, which could put undue stress on the vehicle’s transmission if it does not allow for such a configuration. Platform towing, which typically involves a more extensive support mechanism for the entire vehicle, might not be practical for all user scenarios. All-wheel towing assumes that all wheels are driven when this practice may not suit the Cherokee's design without specific modifications or adaptations.
