Jeep Wrangler: Towing Requirements / Towing Requirements — Tires
- Proper tire inflation pressures are essential
to the safe and satisfactory operation of your
vehicle.
- Check the trailer tires for proper tire inflation
pressures before trailer usage.
- Check for signs of tire wear or visible tire
damage before towing a trailer.
- Replacing tires with a higher load carrying
capacity will not increase the vehicle's GVWR
and GAWR limits.
To promote proper break-in of your new vehicle
drivetrain components, the following guidelines
are recommended:
WARNING!
Improper towing can lead to a collision...
Do not interconnect the hydraulic brake
system or vacuum system of your vehicle
with that of the trailer. This could cause inadequate
braking and possible personal injury...
Other information:
The seat belts in the passenger seating
positions are equipped with a Switchable
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) which is
used to secure a child restraint system. The
figure below illustrates the locking feature for
each seating position.

If the passenger seating position is equipped
with an ALR and is being used for normal usage,
only pull the seat belt webbing out far enough to
comfortably wrap around the occupant’s
mid-section so as to not activate the ALR...
If your vehicle is equipped with tow hooks, they
are mounted in the front and the rear fascia/bumpers.
Front Tow Hooks
Rear Tow Hook
NOTE:
For off-road recovery, it is recommended to use
both of the front tow hooks to minimize the risk
of damage to the vehicle...
