RE: Tow bars vs Tow Dolly
I've been the gamut with towing. Have a PT Cruiser w/automatic trans. Started towing 4 down with the Remco pump. Went through 2 Remco pumps and could not rely on them due to false alarms. I decided the gamble wasn't worth it. A tow dolly was far cheaper than a transmission. I've made my own tie down system that makes it a breeze to secure the car. I've learned just how to load and unload the dolly. Storing the dolly on the road is NOT a big problem. Tell the CG what you need in length and they'll accommodate you. No modifications to the car. Can tow virtually any front wheel drive car.
Honda CRV 2WD Flat Towable?
Before everyone goes crazy, I know that prior year models were only flat towable in the AWD model. But I am shopping for a new Toad and am leaning towards the 2010 CRV. The 2009 model is reportedly flat towable in either 2WD or AWD. This is according to the Honda dealer and is what Motorhome Magazine's Dingy Towing Roundup states. Same procedure for the transmission regardless.
So like others, I'm enough of a doubting Thomas to want to find some first hand experience.
Thanks very much.
