Can I tow a 2013 Mazda 2?

I just bought a 2013 Mazda 2. Can I tow it 4 wheels down?

  • From an online 2013 Mazda 2 Owners Manual

    Page 7-28 Recreational Towing
    An example of “recreational towing” is towing your vehicle behind a motorhome.
    The transaxle is not designed for towing this vehicle on all 4 wheels. When doing recreational towing refer to “Towing Description” (page 7-25) and “Tiedown Hook” (page 7-26) and carefully follow the instructions

    Page 7-25 Emergency Towing
    Towing Description
    We recommend that towing be done only by an Authorized Mazda Dealer or a commercial tow-truck service.

    Proper lifting and towing are necessary to prevent damage to the vehicle. Government and local laws must be followed.

    A towed vehicle usually should have its drive wheels (front wheels) off the ground. If excessive damage or other conditions prevent this, use wheel dollies.
  • Always check owners manual, it will have a section on towing dos and don'ts.
  • It is not listed in the FMCA 2013 Towing Guide.
