2017 Jeep Latitude 4x4 Tow Dollie

Does anyone know if we can put this vehicle into neutral as if to flat tow, and tow it on a car Dollie?

Nope. Will cause damage if not 4-down towed
Sorry

Your model can be flat towed only if it has the Active Drive II system. Most Latitudes do not. We ordered one that way a couple of years ago and bought a new Trailhawk (flat towable) in 2016 to replace it. It doesn't matter if the Cherokee is badged as a 4x4, it has to have Active Drive II. In any event, no 4x4 Cherokee is dolly towable. Hope this helps.

We have not installed the wiring harness and did not experience the wobble on our 1st Cherokee (over 10000 miles towed) and have not experienced it on our current Trailhawk in over 3000 miles. I have heard of a few people having this problem and Jeep offers the wiring harness you mentioned. If you install the harness, your Jeep will use battery power and will more than likely require a charge line.
