FCA LLC US recommends towing with all wheels
OFF the ground. Acceptable methods are to tow
the vehicle on a flatbed or with one end of the
vehicle raised and the opposite end on a towing
dolly.
If flatbed equipment is not available and the
transfer case is operable, the vehicle may be
towed (in the forward direction, with ALL wheels
on the ground), IF the transfer case is in
NEUTRAL (N) and the transmission is in PARK
(P) (for automatic transmissions) or in gear
(NOT in NEUTRAL, for manual transmissions)

Special care must be taken when the vehicle is
towed with the ignition in the OFF position. The
only approved method of towing without the key
fob is with a flatbed truck. Proper towing
equipment is necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle.
