Open Roads Forum  >  Dinghy Towing  >  General Topics  > Mopar Flat Tow Wiring Kit for 2018 Jeep Cherokee Wobble ?? Reply to Topic  |  Subscribe  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  TC&Z • View posts USA Senior Member Joined: 08/24/2004 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Posted: 04/29/20 12:17pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I hope to get some clarity on whether the Mopar Flat Tow Wiring Kit is needed for our vehicle to be flat towed. Apparently it maintains power to the power steering while being towed to avoid the "death Wobble" issue. Owners brought this issue to Mopar's attention and this Flat tow wiring kit is their bandaid. I have found many contradicting bits of information. Seems Mopar always recommends but at our cost, more of a CYA move than based technical merit. (it's odd that Mopar says can be flat towed but a modification is needed to do so...) Some forums don't know so recommend anyways to be safe. Some forums say not needed, they have never experienced the problem. Some forums put Jeep in RUN while towing so power steering is powered. Some forums say yes. Some forums say the flat tow kit is necessary IF you are experiencing the wobbling. Some forums say it is solely due to issues with front suspension. We have a 2018 Jeep Cherokee Latitude w/ 2-Speed Power Transfer Unit (w/ Active Drive II) Curious if others with same year Jeep have the problem. And whether you have installed the Mopar kit or not. Note that eTrailer did not mention this when I bought the brackets and brake/turn tail lights wiring kit. I have in inquiry into Roadmaster as well.... * This post was last edited 04/29/20 03:18pm by TC&Z *   View edit history TC&Z • View posts USA Senior Member Joined: 08/24/2004 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Posted: 05/03/20 05:35am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator As of 5/3 I have had no responses.
