Check the Owners Manual for the Acura. That is the only valid response. If it is towable it will list the steps necessary to complete on the car before you tow it.

Good advice. The vast number of companies that say you can tow anything as long as you add their stuff, are interested in selling us 'their stuff.'

and once you're done with that you need to know how much that car weighs and whether it's too heavy to be towed with your MH. in simple terms, the maximum amount of weight you can safely tow will be the *lesser* of the following:
- the GCWR minus the total weight of the MH when it is configured and loaded for travel including fuel, water, LP, clothes, food, supplies, pets, stuff and people. this assumes that neither MH axle is overweight.
- the weight rating of your towbar
- the weight rating of your hitch

I know a guy who's addicted to brake fulid. He says he can stop anytime.

Is it a standard or automatic?
Do you have the owner's manual, it will list it there if you can.
Of course, you can always tow on a dolly/trailer.
4 whopping cylinders on Toyota RV's. Talk about great getting good MPG. Also I have a very light foot on the pedal. I followed some MPG advice on Livingpress.com and I now get 22 MPG! Not bad for a home on wheels.

Think it is towable as is (manual and automatic), but check remco above.

Reading the user manual will make clear that if it is possible to tow acura.
