What would be the best way to tow a jeep behind a Toy Hauler? I just got a 1999 Jeep Wrangler and want to take it to the desert without using to much gas.

Is the toy hauler a 5th wheel? Can you legally tow tandem in your state? If yes then is the Jeep a manual or auto? I assume you want to flat tow it correct? If it's a manual put the t-case in neutral and trans in gear and you're golden. If it's an auto I'm not 100% sure.

No it's not a toy hauler. It is a manual. Thanks

Sorry my family refers to it as a toy hauler but yes it's a 26 foot trailer. Sorry i got you confused.

So travel trailer? Or flat bed?

Travel trailer is still the same deal, if it's a 5th wheel then yes you can tow the Jeep behind it.

To tow your 1999 Jeep Wrangler, put your transfer case in neutral. Put your transmission in first gear if it is a manual or park if it is an auto. This is what the Jeep owners manual says. Just remember, you want the transfer cse spinning, but not the trans.
