True, in most cases, but NOT all.
Ford's hybrid vehicles (Fusion and Cmax) use a CVT transmission, that is flat towable. Not only is it flat towable, its one of the easiest and most simple auto tranny vehicles to tow 4 down.
No crazy procedures to go through when hooking up, no need to run tranny through specific shift pattern or run engine every so often to lube the tranny when towing. No battery or fuses to disconnect. None of that. Just hitch it up, throw it in neutral and go. Tow as long/far as you want, up to 70 mph, no restrictions (yes, this is with a CVT transmission).
Anyway, back to original subject: If its true, thats really a shame. Honda CRVs are one of the most popular choices for flat towing, will be unfortunate to see yet one more option go away for those of us that want to tow a car behind our MHs.
