if memory serves me correctly, Jeep pulled the manual transmission on the Grand Cherokee in 1999. so this means you are dealing with an automatic. Now whether or not your JeeP is equipped with "shift on the fly" four-wheel-drive, or a Quadra-Drive II system, i would not know. and seeing as how i do not know much about Quadra-Drive II systems, i will assume you have a shift on the fly model (which is most popular anyway). whenever you are towing a four-wheel-drive vehicle with automatic transmission, you will put the transfer case (the little lever that allows you to engage the four-wheel-drive) into N (neutral) and leave your vehicle's transmission in P (park). this will disengage your transmission and allow the wheels to spin freely without harming your gears. as always, it is best to consult your owner's manual. and if you have Quadra-Drive II.... i am sorry Eric T.

Can 2012 kia sorento awd be dolly towed with front wheels off the ground?
No, a 2012 Kia Sorento AWD should not be dolly towed with the front wheels off the ground. Towing it this way can cause damage to the transmission and drivetrain, as the vehicle's all-wheel-drive system relies on all wheels being in motion. Instead, flat towing with all four wheels on the ground or using a flatbed trailer is recommended to avoid potential damage. Always consult the owner's manual for specific towing guidelines.
Can you tow your 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo behind your RV without a dolly and without hurting it?
According to the owners manual for my 02 Grand Cherokee Laredo you can tow with all four wheels on the ground after you put the transfer case in neutral, then with the engine shut off, put the transmission in Park. The key should be in the unlocked OFF position. This is found in the manual under the heading Towing- Recreational. I am guessing yours will work the same way. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS CAUTION: The following safety precautions must be observed when towing a vehicle: Do not use steering column lock to secure steering wheel during towing operation. 2WD vehicles can be towed with the front wheels on the surface for extended distances at speeds not exceeding 48 km/h (30 mph). Many vehicles are equipped with air dams, spoilers, and/or ground effect panels. To avoid component damage, a wheel-lift towing vehicle or a flat-bed hauling vehicle is recommended. Secure loose and protruding parts. Always use a safety chain system that is independent of the lifting and towing equipment. Do not allow towing equipment to contact the disabled vehicle
What vehicles can be towed wheels down?
Vehicles that can typically be towed wheels down include many rear-wheel-drive cars, some all-wheel-drive vehicles, and certain manual transmission cars. It's essential to consult the owner's manual for specific towing guidelines, as improper towing can damage the vehicle's transmission. Generally, vehicles with a neutral transmission setting or those designed for flat towing, like some SUVs and trucks, can be towed safely this way. Always verify compatibility before towing to prevent potential damage.
Can you tow a all wheel drive vehicle?
Yes, you can tow an all-wheel-drive (AWD) vehicle, but it's important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines. Many AWD vehicles should be towed on a flatbed to prevent damage to the drivetrain. Towing them with wheels on the ground can lead to transmission issues because the wheels are still engaged with the drivetrain. Always consult the vehicle's owner manual for specific towing recommendations.
Do you have to drop drive shaft to tow a 89 Mercedes sel?
Yes, it is generally recommended to drop the drive shaft when towing a 1989 Mercedes SEL, especially if you're flat towing (on all four wheels).

Always consult the owner's manual or a professional for specific towing guidelines related to your vehicle.

How do you identify the drive wheels?
Drive wheels can be identified by checking the vehicle's drivetrain layout. In front-wheel-drive vehicles, the front wheels are the drive wheels, while in rear-wheel-drive vehicles, the rear wheels are the drive wheels. All-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles may have all four wheels as drive wheels, but typically, the power distribution can be checked in the vehicle's manual or by observing the axle configuration. Additionally, inspecting for the presence of a differential and drive shafts can help determine which wheels are drive wheels.
Can you flat tow a Chevrolet Cavalier FWD Auto Tran?
Flat towing a Chevrolet Cavalier with a front-wheel-drive automatic transmission is generally not recommended. Automatic transmissions can suffer damage if towed without the drive wheels off the ground, as the transmission relies on lubrication provided by the engine running. It's best to consult the owner's manual or a dealership for specific recommendations regarding towing options for your vehicle. If flat towing is necessary, consider using a tow dolly or trailer to keep the vehicle's wheels off the ground.
