[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ I see rvs rowing other cars all the time. How is jeep neutral different than regular neutral? In regular neutral the transmission isn’t engaged so the engine doesn’t spin when the wheels do. What am I missing?[/quote]

I assure you it's a real thing, and having spent lots of time at RV campgrounds, I call BS on your seeing lots of RVs towing other cars all the time. It's about 95% Jeeps. Yes, you can tow other cars (subject to the weight capacity of your RV) but if you don't have a transmission that fully disconnects, it's not good for the car. Just putting a car into neutral (including a Jeep not in tow mode) will not disconnect the transmission. When you place a Jeep into tow mode, it's a whole multi-step process that involves pushing in a little button with a paper clip to put it in tow mode. When you add in the off-road capability, the fact that Jeeps don't weigh all that much (compared to, say, a pickup), and that the towing plates are pretty easily installed, Jeeps are generally going to be the best choice for your average class A gas motorhome. My point is that it's not an aesthetic choice, it's a functional one.[/quote]
