Towing a Miata

what does the owner's manual say under recreational towing or towing behind a motorhome. what conflicting information have you been receiving?
bumpy

I have heard that the Owners Manual says "Do not tow!"
I have read on here that many people are towing them with no problems.
If there have been problems, I haven't seen any of the owners come back here and say "Whoops!"
good luck.

I found this thread on a Miata forum that _seems_ to indicate flat towing a 6-speed is OK but flat towing a 5-speed isn't. The guy who wrote that is a Miata owner and had a fairly detailed explanation why this is the case.

Flat Tow NB 6 Speed

What would the front of the Miata look like after being towed behind a MH?

We have 2007 Miata, 6-speed, which we would like to tow with our 2002 Minnie Winnie 23F. We'd also be interested in any known sources of information regarding this.

WNS,

We towed a 2000 5-speed over 35,000 miles and towed a 2010 6-speed over 15,000 miles until it was butt-smacked and totaled. We have now towed a 2012 6-speed over 15,000 miles.

I have assisted (with information and some hand-holding) more than 100 other Miata owners in getting their Miatas towable.

I have personally installed baseplates and done tail light wiring on 3 NC Miatas. I can answer all of your questions.

I am in north Dallas. Where are you in Texas?

PM me with your Email address if you want more information.
