flat towing
I am looking into leasing a 2013 Honda fit, can they be flat towed, Remco towing says you can flat tow the fit, but they also officially say from Remco and Honda that they cannot be, Which do you believe.

- The 2013 Honda Fit can be towed four down. There is a 65 MPH speed limitation and no distance limitation. No other restrictions for the manual transmission. On automatic transmission models, run engine at the beginning of each day, press brake pedal and move shifter through all positions, shift into DRIVE and hold for 5 seconds, then to NEUTRAL and let engine run for 3 minutes. Repeat at least every 8 hours thereafter. When towing for long periods, remove 30A radio fuse. Baseplates are made by several manufacturers.
- Look for a section in the Owners Manual titled "Recreational Towing".
Everything you need to know should be in there, direct from Honda.
If the book says "DON'T DO IT", and you do it anyway, and the transmission burns up, YOU get to fix it!
Good luck.
