Can you flat tow a 2017 Jeep Cherokee?
I’m planning to take my Jeep Cherokee with me while I RV across the country. Can the 2017 Jeep Cherokee be flat-towed?

Sounds like an exciting adventure!
You can flat tow a 2017 Jeep Cherokee if it has a two-speed power transfer unit (PTU). This includes 4x4 models.
If your Cherokee is front-wheel drive but offers 4x4 functionality, however, this version cannot be flat towed. And any trim that is not 4x4 most likely will require a dolly or trailer to be towed safely.
Below is the necessary equipment to flat tow a 2017 Jeep Cherokee:
- Baseplate: Comes in single solid bars bolted to the vehicle’s frame or two separate mounted components. There are also low-profile options that are less visible when the vehicle isn’t connected.
- Tow bar: Interlocks with the baseplate
- Safety cables: Mirrors your RV lights on the Cherokee
- Supplemental braking system: Distributes the brake load across more contact points to improve braking distance
