Drove my 2018JK home yesterday, Looking for advice. What is the best setup for flat towing behind a class C motorhome? Planning to travel to Salt Lake City, Yellowstone & Mt. Rushmore late May, Are there any maps of Jeep trails in these areas?. Looking for beginner type trails. I was diss-appointed to discover that we didn't have AC. Just a shot in the dark, but has anyone added it to a later year JK?

Welcome to the forum, I have never flat towed a Jk before, but I do live near Yellowstone Park and could give you a few trail options when you get up here. Just so you know, all the Jeep trails will probably be under snow in May in the mountains... its often nearly the end of June early July before the drifts get melted off enough to do the trails near Yellowstone Park...

Welcome to the forum! Perhaps the easiest "trails" you could find would be in national forests--and there are plenty all around where you'll be traveling. Jeeps are allowed only on trails marked on the Motor Vehicle Use Maps (MVUM) for their use. You can find digital copies for free online. As Sunnysideup suggested, snow may be a problem. An easy dirt road can become treacherous when snow-covered and your rig starts to slide into a 1500 foot deep canyon. If you're interested in some video along trails in that area, here is a teaser for some from a trip I took with friends to that area a couple years ago. The full series is now online ...

Welcome and congrats on the JK.. The owners manual should have towing info.. If no manual it can be found in .pdf form on the net.. Also, checking around this company might be a resource on your AC question: https://jeepair.com/ They did not show a kit for 2018 or 3.6L - I'd call them after the new year.

Thanks for all the input. Love the video. I'll heed the warnings about snow. See enough of it here in lake effect country (just south of Lake Ontario). Thinking about Moab before heading to Salt Lake to see my son.

Hi everybody! I'm new here too, but I already love what I see here. I would like to get some advice from you about buying a Jeep. I am an expert in writing essays, I have been doing this for 5 years, before I worked remotely, so I did not need a car, and now I need to go to the office, so I am thinking about buying a car. I have always liked and impressed the Jeep, tell me, please, which model is most suitable for my requirements? By the way, here is a link to my site, where you can find a review on the best essay writing <link removed> service for several years now, I proudly recommend it to you Have a nice day everyone!

Welcome to JKF, David. This isn't really the best place for your question. Recommend that you go to the JK Talk subforum to post it. You might also try the search feature. Yeah, it's not the best, but buying a new Jeep is a common question.
