Can you tow Jeep liberty automatic 2 wheels down?

No, you should not tow a Jeep Liberty (automatic) two wheels down. Two-wheel-down towing requires the drive wheels to be on the ground, and this isn't compatible with an automatic transmission. Doing so will damage the transmission. Automatic transmissions require the engine to be running to lubricate the components properly. When towed two-wheels down, the transmission isn't being lubricated, leading to catastrophic failure.

For towing a Jeep Liberty automatic, you'll need to use a method such as:

* Flatbed towing: This is the safest and recommended method for automatic transmission vehicles.

* Dolly towing: This uses a dolly to support the rear wheels, allowing the front wheels to be steered.

* Full-fledged tow-behind: This involves a device that connects to the vehicle's drive shaft. This is more complex and might not be suitable for all vehicles.

Always check your Jeep Liberty's owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommended towing methods. Ignoring these recommendations can void your warranty and cause expensive damage.
