The Jeep Commander is a four wheel drive SUV. The vehicle is similar to the Grand Cherokee but it has a box style body with increased seating. The vehicle is ideal for RV users because it is capable of exploring back roads while still storing gear and seating several passengers. Several options are available for towing the vehicle behind an RV, and most of these options do not require advanced mechanical skills to prepare. Your RV and Jeep must be wired for towing if you plan on having all four wheels on the ground.
