Mazda Miata MX5

Has anyone flat towed a Mazda Miata? The owner's manual says no. Any modifications that can make it towable 4 wheels down?

    Like THIS?



    Manual trans = Yes. Automatic Trans = No.

    I have towed a 2000 over 35,000 miles and 2 late models over 30,000 miles.

    In addition I have helped more than 100 other owners to get theirs flat towable. PM me for more information.

  • Go to Advanced Search. Type Miata as a keyword and Healeyman as message author. That should give you a bit to read and if you have specific questions, you can PM him
  • If the Owner's Manual says "NO", and you tow it anyway, when something goes wrong guess who pays for the repair?
    Yes, people have towed them, apparently with few or no problems.
    It is, after all, your vehicle. Therefore it is your choice. Good luck.
  • There are a number of members who tow them. Standard Shift versions only. Not sure about the most recent model years though. What year do you have?
