Can you flat tow a Jeep Patriot?
My daughter is going to college a few states over. She had already flown to school, so I was going to bring her Jeep Patriot to school. However, my wife and I want to do some travel in our RV after we drop her off. Can I flat tow the Jeep Patriot?

You can only flat tow the Jeep Patriot if it’s equipped with a manual transmission and you shift it into neutral prior to initiating the tow. This applies to both the all-wheel-drive and front-wheel-drive variants of the Patriot.
If you don’t have a manual transmission, you still have two other options. You can flat tow the FWD Patriot with either a flatbed trailer or a two-wheel dolly. Just make sure that the front two wheels are off the ground if you use a two-wheel dolly. For AWD versions, only a flatbed trailer will work. Always consult your owner’s manual for more information on proper towing techniques.
College is expensive enough as it is, so if you want to cut some of your daughter’s expenses, use the
