On the Jeep thing all models of Jeeps are not 4 down towable. Renegades and the Compass are a no tow. Cherokees without a two speed transfer case are a no tow, Grand Cherokees must be equipped with a Quadra Trac II or Quadra Drive II to be a flat towable. All the Wranglers are flat towable as is the new Jeep Gladiator pick up. If you are looking for a truck the Gladiator IMHO would be my 1st choice but I am biased. We have owned 3 Liberties, a Commander and now a 2019 Cherokee Trailhawk. We were going to tow the Commander but it was ten years old, had a Hemi that passed everything but a gas pump and weighed in at well over 5000 lbs. It was time for an upgrade so we went with a Cherokee, a bit smaller and lighter than a Grand Cherokee at 4625 lbs on its base package. The Cherokee with the Trailhawk package includes complete underbody skid plates and scales in at 4200 lbs. The Cherokee is our toad and doubles as my wife's daily driver. WE are happy with the Cherokee, a very capable small SUV for the little off road (think Forest service roads) the DW and I do, but when that Gladiator came out (drools) I am thinking we may need another upgrade..... (Dirty Look from DW) A guy can wish, right?
