Moonbeam-ExpressWhich Jeep? If it's a Wrangler it can be, there is a procedure to put the transfer case in neutral and you're good to go even with the auto.

Don in NiagaraCheck the owner's handbook. It will tell you if the year and model you are looking at is flat towable.

Shadow manWe have an 87 Wagoneer 4x4 with auto tranny that we can tow 4 down as fast and as far as we want.

Shadow manShould have added, always check the owners manual to be sure if you can tow and what you need to do to do it right.

Shadow manOn the 87s there is the command trac and select trac 4x4 systems and the procedure is a little different depending on which one you have. With mine i put the tranny in park and the transfer case in neutral and unlock the ignition.

Shadow manAnd as a note of caution, Always check the owners manual!!! We have friends that bought a new Jeep Liberty a couple of years ago and he thought he knew how his tranny and transfer case should be set for towing. He did NOT check the book first......$4000 later he had a new tranny. His wife was not happy.
