Honda abandons Dinghy market? maybe not!

In December, I purchased a new 2014 CRV for towing instead of a 2015. Honda changed their transmission for 2015 which makes one unable to be tow it 4 wheels down. The text in the dingy guide laments that the transmission change was made for mandated, fuel economy reasons. It is a shame because I wanted a 2015.

It is my assumption (possibly incorrect) that if the car is not in the towable guide, and the consumer handbook does not say it is towable, then any claim regarding the drive train might be denied when the towbar hitch is spotted. Based on the history or auto sales, when I purchase my next toad (soon) I will insist that the dealer write into the sales contract that the vehicle will be used as a towed vehicle behind a motorhome. That way, if the manufacturer changes the listing at a later date, I still have possible recourse.
Just thinking.

Old news on the Honda - I did a happy dance when I got rid of my Fit and got the Jeep

Having towed Hondas for 20 years and now needing a new dinghy, this is hard news for me.

Does this list prohibit the towing of a Honda? or is it simply saying Honda doesn't recommend it?

Is it time to go 4 up?

Honda isn't mentioned at all, they do mention that the new jeep Renegade should be towable but as mentioned earlier Jeep now says no.
I don't do "4 up" so I guess I'll have to shop else where.
