S2000?
We're looking at buying our first motorhome. We need a toad. Prefer 4-wheels-down. Current vehicles are: 2011 Honda Accord, 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 2wd, and 2002 Honda S2000. None can be towed...

I for one, would like to hear from ANYONE who has had a MANUAL Transmission fail due to unauthorized towing 4-down.
The problem is, the damage done due to lack of lubrication is cumulative, and may not be recognized as being caused primarily by towing. Or, the driver is unwilling to admit that perhaps the "BOOK" was RIGHT!
When the rear seal dries out due to lack of lube, and shreds, how many would think that towing it for several thousand miles was the cause of the seal failure? Very few, I imagine.
When the rear bearing or the needle bearings in the middle of the mainshaft wear out due to lack of lube, same thing, how many would realize that towing without proper lubrication caused the failure? I can hear it now: "NAH, don't be silly, I have towed this thing 40,000 miles with no problem! It had to be the cheap junk bearings that were installed!"
I really doubt that you will ever hear anybody blame the failure on themselves, for not following instructions!
