Hondas capable of being towed
I am in the market for a new vehicle, and part of my requirements are
that the vehicle be able to tow a small trailer, and at other times be
towed itself (as in behind an RV). According to Motorhome Magazine,
the only Honda capable of being towed is the CR-V.
Does anyone here know of other Hondas that are towable. I need to be
able to tow the vehicle with four wheels on the ground using a tow
bar. Thanks...

Could be wrong but I would think just about any manual tranny model

Why not use a cradle, or trailer? Surely would be easier on the
vehicle.

You certainly can't tow a CR-V (AWD version) with two wheels down. It's
either four down or all four up. I'd think an RV forum would be the best
place to SEARCH this one out. google.com is handy too.

With trailers or dollys attached to a Class A or C RV, backing up is
extremely difficult. Then there's the problem of having to manually
wrestle with it because tight camp sites don't allow sufficient room
to back up. Plus many camp sites only allow room for the RV and one
vehicle, so a trailer would have to be parked elsewhere.

But you can take the vehicle off the trailer or dolly once you arrive at the
camp site and park it in the campground's parking lot. you don't need the
trailer or dolly once you're at the site.
I've also seen people slide the tongue of their dolly under the back of
their RV and only add 2 feet to the length of the parked vehicle.

But you can take the vehicle off the trailer or dolly once you arrive at the
camp site and park it in the campground's parking lot. you don't need the
trailer or dolly once you're at the site.
I've also seen people slide the tongue of their dolly under the back of
their RV and only add 2 feet to the length of the parked vehicle.
