How to Tow a Jeep Grand Cherokee 4X4

Towing your Jeep Grand Cherokee is not a complicated process. All you will need to get this done is a tow trailer and towing straps. Connect the tow straps to the frame under the Jeep and then connect the opposite end of the straps to the anchor point on the floor of the trailer. However, it is important to do each step carefully, because if you don't restrain your Jeep properly to the trailer you can damage your Jeep.

Things You'll Need

• Padlock
• Tow straps

Instructions

1. Connect the trailer to the towing vehicle and lock the trailer to the towing vehicle with the padlock.

2. Drive the Jeep onto the trailer so that the front of the Jeep is facing the rear of the towing vehicle. Connect one of the straps to the front end of the frame under the right side of the Jeep with the hook on the end of the strap. Connect the opposite end of the strap with the pulley connected to it to the floor of the trailer at the anchor point. Pull the end of the strap that is led through the pulley to tighten the strap. Follow the same procedure with straps for the frame under the left front, left rear and right rear sides of the jeep.

3. Connect the brake cable on the trailer to the brake cable on the tow vehicle. Set the emergency brake on the Jeep.
