My wife and I just bought a new motorhome, and we’re itching to take it around the country. However, we want to tow along our 2020 Cherokee to use as a daily driver. Can we flat tow the 2020 Jeep Cherokee?

Maybe—you can only flat tow a 2020 Jeep Cherokee if you have the four-wheel-drive version with a two-speed power transfer unit. You can never flat tow the front-wheel-drive version, as doing so can damage the transmission.
If you’re wondering whether you have a two-speed power transfer unit, don’t stress. It’s easy to find out. If your Jeep Cherokee has a selector that provides both 4-HI and 4-LO options, you have a two-speed power transfer unit.
In the unfortunate case that you don’t have a four-wheel-drive Cherokee or you don’t have the two-speed power transfer unit, you can still tow either version of the Cherokee with a flatbed trailer.
