Towing 2014 Acura MDX

Thanks for the info on the type of tow dolly. Hopefully, I'll get squared away.

The Acura MDX absolutley can't be towed 4 down (and this is specifically what the manual refers to when saying can't be towed behind a motorhome). Preferred 'emergency towing' guidelines are for all 4 off the ground or for the FWD verson, Front wheels off the ground . I have an AWD MDX and just purchased a FWD Accord. I specifically got the FWD Accord so that I could use a tow dolly for towing behind the motorhome. (my Accord has the same V6 and Transmisison as the FWD MDX) The rear wheels on a FWD vehicle simply trail along and are in no way attached to the drive train. If you use a tow dolly, you will be fine. You will want a tow dolly that has a plate that moves and/or wheels that steer so you are not putting undue strain on the steering components of the vehicle being towed. So, yes...read the manual and you will see that 4 up or FWD front 2 up are accceptable.

If I could tow a 2014 MDX, I'd buy one tomorrow. Acura says no way.

In the owner's manual it says:

"Your vehicle is not designed to be towed behind a motor home. If your vehicle needs to be towed in an emergency, refer to the emergency towing information."

Auomatic trans, don't believe clearance would be an issue. Only concern is the transmission or reaqr axle. However, based on the fact that it's a 2WD vehicle, I may be over analyzing the issue. Thanks....

Moved to Dinghy Towing forum from Towing.

what are the conflicts? if 2WD on front wheels, clearance would be the main issue. are you talking automatic transmission or stick?
