Towing Honda Element flat? need info please

[Ed Gardels]

I have made up my mind I want buy an Element. It seems the dealers
dont know which years or tranmissions you can tow flat. I have been
towing a CRV for 5 years with no problems. Time for a new car....

Which years can be towed?

Which trannys can be towed?(AWD?)

Where did you get your info?

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Ed,
I bought a new 05 last year. I would have bought the 06 but it is not
listed as being towable.
Nothing had changed in the drive train, but they found the buyers
wern't following the transmission requirements before towing and
blowing up the trannys.
We have the 05 AWD and tow 4 down with no problems.
It is listed in the handbook on how to be towed and what to do before
towing.
