Re: I am towing my 2001 jeep grand cherokee 4x4 in a tow...
Yes, because it will turn the transmission while you are towing. The problem is that the trans will not be getting any lubrication while it turns. Hope this helps.

I have a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4X4 ready fitted with Roadmaster Strerling tow equipment. Unfortunately, I have no owners manual and am getting conflicting opinions on the positions needed for the 4X4 selector and drive selector when towing. All say the 4X4 selector should be in Neutral Buy Instagram Followers UK Get free Likes on Instagram from 0 59
You will destroy your transmission trying to tow a 4x4 with any wheel rolling on the ground. You could however have the rear drive shaft removed for towing and have the front wheels up on a tow dolly. That would be safe.
You can tow in with the transfer case in neutral as long as all 4 wheels are on the ground like with a tow bar.If you use a tow dolly you will have to remove the rear drive shaft.This transfer case has a viscous coupling that will over heat if all the wheel dont turn at the same rate.
If it was ever towed with the wheels on the ground (not dollied) then the transfer case is probably "burned out" and you will need to replace it. These models of jeeps are full time 4WD and MUST be dollied or towed on a carrier or rollback type truck. Unless they have manual locking hubs.
Not true. If you have the fuse in place to disconnect the rear wheels it is safe to tow on a dolly. Subaru recommends not more than 40 MPH and only for short distance if it is an automatic. Manual may be towed longer distance. Have a great day.
