2013 Acura RDX AWD or FWD

My DW likes these vehicles. I think they are the same as the Honda.

Does anyone know if they are flat towable?

  • I have an Acura dealer checking on this as this is on my list also. Will report back.
  • I don't think so. Though similar in size to the Honda CRV, they are using a different drivetrain, V6 engine vs the 4cyl, 6sp auto vs the 5spd auto. Some of the Acura products us the SH (super handling) AWD which is more complicated.
    The only two vehicle that Honda will approve towing 4 down are the CRV and the Fit. Towing any other model 4 down may void the warranty on related parts (transmission etc).
    Remco do not list the 2013 Acura models yet, but for the 2012s, say they must be trailered.

  • An Acura dealer told me that Acura does not have any 2013 4-wheels-down vehicles, including the models similar to Honda towable models.

    You could check Motorhome magazine for older Acuras.
  • They are much heavier and therfore check you tow limit first. Some may not be towable like some Honda's.
