Anyone tow a 2013 Honda Fit? (Manual transmission)

Same advise as above, except the key should be in the "Accesory I" position. I'm sure that is what tatest probably meant, but if the key is truly in the "OFF" position then the steering wheel will lock. Not a good thing when towing behind a MH.

Off position works for me on manual. Steering won't lock until key is pulled out.

Acc position would ensure key does not fall out or get pulled out.

2012 manual transmission Fit. I don't think anything has changed.

I leave it in neutral, key in ignition, OFF position.

20,000 towing miles on a 2009 Fit automatic. The only significant problem has been the low front spoiler getting major rock dings. My motorhome has a short rear overhand which probably contributes to this.

Towed a 2009 Honda Fit w/auto 5 years and 30k miles. May be the perfect toad. Good luck.

I have a 2008 Honda fit, and have been towing behind my 5th wheel for 6 years. I used a hitch weighing 18 lbs from Blue Ox, and had a shop that specializes in hooking up tow vehicles install the front attachment to my car and make sure the wiring was correct. It tows like its not even there, and since it is 4 on the ground, it doesn't add to the pin weight, and the weight on the back of the 5th wheel is 18 lbs.
Good luck.
