Towing your liberty..

luckys13 · **Posted:** Tue Oct 06, 2009 7:50 am

I am trying to talk my father into buying a Liberty. His only real concern is towing it behind his motor home. Does anyone tow their liberty? I wonder if there are any issues and how you were towing it. His last worry is the weight but I am not sure on what his motor home is capable of. I know its older and pretty heavy as it is. He currently tows a 1996 Wrangler Sahara which I am trying to talk him into selling and getting a used Liberty. Any feedback is appreciated.

Lots of people tow Libertys. Ask Fulltimer he did for a while I think. Should not be a problem at all. I saw like ten over the last Holiday being towed behind motorhomes ( all stockers :cry:

)

Not sure why he would have any issues. With 4wd all he does is put the tcase in N and the tranny in P. Should be good to go. As sad as it is I see them being towed behind motor homes all the time.

Liberty weighs around 4k.

As long as it is 4WD there is no problem. Tom's right, I did it for 6 years while I lived in the motorhome traveling around the country.

Thanks for all the replies. Now I can tell him the members of Lost said no issues... I hope it gives him a warm fuzzy and he gets one one. He may become the newest, oldest member..

2 things ill defend it for

1) stopped on ice road w/o jackkinfing the trailer with a 8,000 pound boat on it

2) it hit 200,xxx miles 2 days ago

(but we will soon sell it for either a 2500 HD durmax or ram cummins 2500 i think)

Everything that makes a wrangler good to tow behind a motorhome is the same with the KJ
