I four down tow a 1998 Accord Coupe. Four cylinder engine with an automatic transmission. Owner's manual has procedures to shift thru the range of gears to ensure it is in a true neutral.
You'll need a base plate, tow bar, and a (highly recommended) brake system. Also rear lights on the Accord for brakes, turn signals and night time running lights. I use a
Ready Brute Elite tow bar with a
Demco base plate. For lights I used a
diode based system that uses the existing tail lights. All up budget around $1800 for planning purposes but add a couple hundred if you cannot install the base plate or lights yourself.
Costs add up quick which can make a used dolly a good bargain but a dolly will require a bit more effort when using.
