Gospel Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Purchased and set up a 2009 Civic Honda Sedan, manual transmission for flat towing, now I'm not sure it can be towed. It's an excellent small car and in great shape. I know what Honda has to say but I would like to hear from some that have ACTUALLY towed one.

Mark Holt Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 If Honda has it in the Owners Manual that the model can be flat towed and advises the limitations it should be fine. The key wording is flat towing. On my Ford Flex Ford requires it to have the negative wire off of the battery and run the engine every 6 hrs of driving for about 5 min. All of this is in the owners manual. My point is that if it is documented in manual should there be a problem it would be warranted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ray Davis Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 David has what may be an exception in that he has a standard trans. Many yrs ago we had a Toyota standard trans, we towed it all over the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
