I want to flat tow my 2018 Jeep Compass on my next road trip. I have a heavy-duty truck that’s fully capable, but I want to avoid buying a trailer if possible. Can I flat tow my 2018 Compass?

Unfortunately, you’ll have to leave your Jeep at home—you cannot flat tow a 2018 Jeep Compass under any circumstances. The platform that the 2018 Jeep Compass rides on isn’t conducive to flat towing, and doing so would damage the transmission and drivetrain.
The only way to tow your 2018 Jeep Compass is to use a flatbed trailer to ensure that all four wheels are off the road. This will eliminate any chance of damage while also allowing you to explore on your next vacation without using a gas guzzler to get around.
