I have a 2006 Georgie Boy Landau that we absolutely love. We've been thinking about towing a dingy when we go, and one of the things that's been on my radar is the vehicle. I had a 2006 Jeep Liberty rear wheel drive and had considered various options for towing it.
A couple of week ago, I traded the old Liberty in for a new Jeep Liberty - this time it's a 4x4 ... command trac, so it's a part time 4wd. So the option of towing 4 wheels down is now available. However, my wife wants a tow dolly in case we take her car - which is a front wheel drive.
So my question is, can I use a tow dolly for the Jeep Liberty? While it might sound like a stupid question, it really isn't. The manual says that I can tow it 4 wheels down .. but there are all kinds of warning about towing it with only the rear wheels down. I'm not sure if it needs both axles to turn when the transfer case is in neutral. I'm also uncertain if the tow straps on the front wheels would be sufficient since, to put it in 4 wheel free wheel mode, I can't put the vehicle into park .. i.e. the front wheels would be free to move even when on the dolly.
Bottom line .... I can see the value of a tow dolly for use with multiple vehicles, but I'm not sure if a tow dolly would be a great option for the Jeep 4x4.
Anyone have an opinion?
