We also, had someone recommend a trailer...which has its good points.


What is your thinking on this matter?


Thanks Kay
There are quite a few detailed topics on here about towing 4 down. Since I've never done it I can't really help with specifics (other than knowing you'll need the tow bar, and a braking system and I think a mount plate for the Jeep).

I think going 4 down is better than a trailer especially since the trailer will add weight possibly pushing you over the limit (and a trailer will be a bit more involved when getting ready to go).

I think I'd start with the Jeep's owner's manual and check that 4 down is possible (which it likely is as Jeeps are very popular for 4 down towing).
