Towing a Honda
Once in a while I see some big motor home towong a smaller car, such as
a Civic, which makes me wonder how advisable that is. I always thought that a car should only be towed on its unpowered wheels. That's why tow trucks always lift the front of front wheel drive cars, such as the Hondas are. (That leaves the issue open for all-wheel-drive vehicles, of course. ;-) What is the latest expert concensus on this issue? Rudy |

The easiest solution is to tow a manual car. |
