Good morning everyone! I am about to move from Albuquerque, NM to Austin, TX and after going back and forth debating on the best way to move: my partner and I decided it would be best if my jeep towed our stuff since we have animals and we aren’t super comfortable solo driving a moving truck for multiple hours by ourselves.

Here’s the catch: we aren’t bringing any furniture, just boxes of our books, clothes and other items that aren’t as heavy.

I know the Patriot has an insanely low rating for towing so I was wondering if I could get some personal experience with towing as well as how to make my Pat more tow-ready. Thanks in advance!

The specs:
2014 Jeep Patriot Latitude
2.4L VVT
6spd Auto (with autostick)
4x4
