How do you put a 2wd JEEP liberty in towable mode?

A 2WD Jeep Liberty doesn't have a "towable mode" in the same way some RVs or trailers do. There's no switch or setting to engage. Whether or not you can tow a 2WD Jeep Liberty depends entirely on how you're towing it and the weight of the vehicle.

To tow a 2WD Jeep Liberty safely, you *must* follow these guidelines:

* Consult your owner's manual: This is crucial. The manual will specify the maximum weight the Liberty can be towed at and the correct towing method (flatbed, dollies, etc.). Ignoring this can damage the transmission.

* Towing method: A 2WD Jeep Liberty should generally be towed on a flatbed tow truck. This is the safest method as all four wheels are off the ground and the drivetrain isn't engaged. Using a dolly (towing only the rear wheels) is generally *not recommended* for a front-wheel-drive vehicle like a 2WD Liberty due to potential transmission damage.

* Neutral or Park: The Jeep Liberty's transmission should be in neutral (if using a flatbed) or park (if your tow truck somehow requires this).

In short, there's no "towable mode" to activate. Safe towing requires the correct method and adherence to the owner's manual's specifications. Improper towing can lead to serious transmission damage or other mechanical problems, often resulting in costly repairs.
