Which of the jeeps are you considering?
We towed a Hyundai Santa Fe (Front-wheel drive 5-speed) for 4 years, but about 2 years ago we got into geocaching, so 4-WD became somewhat important. Both my wife and I like the overall look of a Wrangler, but it had some negatives for us. First was space inside - got to fit the Golden Retriever and whatever we need to bring back from shopping, at a minimum, and more is better. Second was on-road ride, which my wife found harsh for her not-so-great back. On the first one we considered one of the new 4-doors, but I think that ruins the visual appeal of a jeep, and the ride wasn't any better. We settled on an '07 Liberty, bought last December once I knew what color the Bird would be ![]() shudder that took a long time to pin down. Finally the dealer came up with a TSB that said it could be the torque converter, and once they changed that out it was fine. We have a Limited with Selectrac, so there's full-time 4WD as well as part-time, in an automatic. Stick the transfer case in Neutral and the transmission in Park and tow it away away. I haven't tried to remove the steering wheel lock, so I have to have a key in the unlocked position, but there doesn't appear to be any power draw to speak of in that position. I had a key made that does not have the security lockout, so it can be used to turn the key on but not start the vehicle.
