We ordered a Grand Cherokee Overland 4x4.  Should be here in about 4-6 weeks.  We will look at the tow daddy as well. Hope to have the new jeep already to tow for before the GrandVention.

Our 2011 jeep grand Cherokee overland works the same as Barry & Cindy's except after it is in neutral we always start the jeep, put it in drive or reverse to confirm it is in neutral then we always leave the shift selector in Park.  We then shut the engine off and remove the key.  We have towed the car with Blue Ox for over twelve thousand miles without a problem.

For our 2012 Jeep Grand, we also start to see tach climb without spedo movement after neutral.

Love that we don't have to leave a key in ignition to tow as it seems inviting for a thief to pull tow pins and drive it away, when we leave it connected to motorhome, while we shop or sleep. I think everyone who finds themself in this situation should have a kill switch to prevent ignition key starting.

Ditto on our Ford Focus.  But I am considering removing the lock, if it can be done.

The same on our 2007 Ford Escape 4wd. With the blank key, turn the ign. on/ off and leave the key in. Put the 5 sp manual trans in neutual and your good to go.
We installed the the Blue Ox and the bulb & socket lights in the taillights our self. Had M & G install their air braking system.
Have towed over 10k miles and no problems.
