Can you flat tow a 2019 Jeep Wrangler?

I just joined a Wrangler off-roading enthusiast club. They’re having their first gathering about two weeks from now, but it’s about 150 miles from where I live. I’d prefer to flat tow the Wrangler behind my RV, but I’m not sure if I can. Is it possible to flat tow a 2019 Jeep Wrangler?

You can always flat tow the 2019 Jeep Wrangler, so don’t stress! Throughout its history, the Wrangler has always been made for flat towing, owing this perk to its vehicular military and agricultural background.
However, you need to put the transfer case in neutral to prevent damage to the vehicle. Here are step-by-step instructions for how to do it.
  1. Park the Wrangler on level ground.
  2. Press and hold the brake pedal.
  3. Shift the transmission into neutral (automatic transmission) or press the clutch pedal (manual transmission).
  4. Turn off the engine.
  5. Shift the transfer case lever into neutral.
  6. Fire up the engine.
  7. Shift the transmission into reverse.
  8. Release the brake pedal or clutch for five seconds, making sure there is no vehicle movement.
  9. Turn off the engine.
  10. Apply the parking brake.
  11. Shift the transmission into park.
  12. Attach the vehicle to the tow vehicle using a suitable tow bar.
  13. Release the parking brake.
