Looking for suggestions on what or what not to buy on a 4D Rubicon

[Tom Slick]

New here. I'm shopping for a 4 door Rubicon to flat tow behind a Motorhome. I've always been involved in off roading but I've never owned a Jeep. I'm looking for help on what to look for and what to stay away from. Looking to purchase used late model. It will also be my daily driver. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Tom

If the jeep is pink and has eyelashes on the head lights, that would be a bad choice.

But then again, maybe that one is the prize to be had. Doubt very much it's been off road in serious do do . If at all. I can't give any suggestions on the jeep. I have no experience with a Rubicon, But I would love to get be hind the whel of one. :verry-happy:

4door rubicon started in 2007.
I would wasn't 2012 or newer.

Look for rust and rot underneath. Take it for a ride and look for CELs. You could do the key dance to verify there are no codes.
When driving take it to 65 mph to check fro DW.


Just got to ask... You only want to flat tow the jeep you buy?

For flat towing look online at E-trailer for some great advice and parts on the subject.
