Here is what Remco Towing Products says about towing a 2011 model:
"2011 Honda Element LX 4WD I-4 2.4L cyl 5 Speed Automatic MNZA/BZKA
Notes
•Towable as is with speed and/or distance restrictions. Please see Owner's Manual for confirmation and procedures.
•It is not recommended to tow this vehicle over 65MPH
•When towing for an extended period of time, start the vehicle as often as possible and allow it to run for five minutes to prevent battery drain.
•Officially from both Honda and REMCO the vehicle is not towable. However, we at Remco have a large number of customers who are flat-towing that vehicle behind their Motor Home and they are not having any issues. Follow the "Emergency Towing" procedures in the owner's manual to a "T" except ignore the restrictions and follow those procedures each and every time you tow. NOTE: If you choose tow your Honda, and have any damage to the Transmission as a result, you will have to pay for that expense out of pocket. It is nothing that Honda or Remco will warranty. Also, it should be noted that Remco sells no aftermarket product (Lube Pump or otherwise) to make this car towable."
This is the same statement they say about nearly every Honda that is towed.
So based on this non-approved approval, I would say the Element is towable. Also from a mechanical standpoint the Element and the CRV have the same driveline components and all CRV's are towable up to 2014, but not the 2015.
