can a 2007 Fit be towed behind a RV with 4 wheels down?

[jimboy]

My owners manual states nothing about it being towable. I emailed REMCO ( a parts dealer for tow vehicles) and they said that in 2008, Honda said that the 2008 Fit is towable. Remco also said that since my 2007 transmission is the same as a 2008, then it to is towable. Has anyone towed a 2007 Fit behind an Rv? Thanks, Jim

I used to work for a Honda Dealership and they told me the only vehicle that can be towed on 4 wheels behind a RV ist the CR-V...

Thanks for thr reply. I heard the same thing but just downloaded the 2008 Fit manual and it says you can tow it behind a motorhome !! Nice dog.

You can tow a Fit behind the MH but expeience says to tow it on a dolly with front wheels off the ground.

Thanks jimboy
But I think what mahout says is right - almost every car can be towed with a dolly, but there's only a few that can be towed flat..to be prfectly sure, ask somebody in your Dealership, they should know!

The best thing to do is go to the motor home forums and ask them. Experience counts more than manuals or opinions.

the manual says you can, but for an a/t you have to stop every so often or something like that or youll fry the trans

found on another site

Honda does not recommend this car for flat towing. If you set it up for flat towing and something goes wrong due to it being towed it will not be under warranty. It will be a tow at your own risk.

AS is giving proper instructions for the CR-V to be towed. If you look on page 358 of your Civic owners manual it will tell you the following:

"With the front wheels on the ground, do not tow the vehicle more than 50 miles, and keep the speed below 35 mph."


from honda:


Is it possible to tow my Honda vehicle with all four wheels on the ground (dinghy towing)?
For model year 2006 and newer, if a Honda vehicle is approved for towing with all four wheels on the ground, it will be noted in the Owner’s Manual for that vehicle. Please refer to the owner's manual for specific towing instructions.

For model year 2005 and older, dinghy towing capability may or may not be possible. Please contact Honda Automobile Customer Service (800-999-1009) for additional information on whether or not your specific 2005 or older vehicle may be dinghy towable.

Upon request, I have recieved an Honda Letter from their headquarters in California , that the 2007 Honda Fit is towable behind an RV with all 4 wheels down. I can use this letter if I ever do have trans problems. Thanks to all who gave me input.

My manual for my 02 crv says to only tow with four wheels off the ground.
