Honda has gone with that CRT transmission that cannot be towed 4 down. The Honda manual says to turn the key to acc. then go thru the gears and leave the trans in neutral. It also says not to tow over 65 MPH and change transmission oil every 30,000 miles.
We have towed an 04 Element, an 09 CRV and now a 2011 Element.
Honda pulled towing approval for Elements after 06 but they are the same drive train as CRV which is approved thru 2014. We follow the procedure and have never had a problem with tens of thousands of miles. Great car.
