I tow a 2011 Element 2WD. The manual says it isn't towable.
Here is the deal; for whatever reason, Honda said the CRV is towable (both 2WD and AWD) but the Element is not EVEN though they share the same drive train.
Tow away. But you must do "The procedure".
Idle the engine, run the shifter down through the gears slowly,
then back up (1,2,D, N) and let it idle five minutes.
Never, ever go from R to N.
Trans fluid schedule changes to every 30,000 miles.
