- garryk6ExplorerFor manual Trans, put it in neutral, turn the key to accessory and make sure steering wheel not locked. Turn off anything that is on when key in accessory (radio etc) and head on down the road! Manual Honda's are the easy one the autos take a very specific procedure.
- dicknellenExplorer IIAll current CR-Vs are AT only. Looked in my old guides, 2006 last year for manual trans in CR-V. Regards, Dick
- bobmooreExplorerWonder what the CRV says about a manual transmission (our Element is a manual transmission vehicle).
- moose888ExplorerI just ordered my base plate from Roadmaster and plan on towing it to Boone NC in late August. I just finished the wiring harness for the lights. The drive train is the same as a CRV just follow the same instructions .
- bobmooreExplorerAt this point, I'm incline to tow it, and if and when I do, I'll give a report.
- dicknellenExplorer IIThat sounds good to me, if I had one that was not in warranty I would tow it. Bob let us know if you decide to tow it and a follow up after towing. Regards, Dick
- EsoxLuciusExplorerHere is what Remco says for Honda Elements after the 2005 model year:
"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."
Base plates are made for many Honda Elements as they are similar to those for the CR-V. - dicknellenExplorer IIBob have you tried to PM Moose888, he said he will be towing his 2011.
- EsoxLuciusExplorerHonda will have an owners manual recommendation with specific instructions for towing four down behind a motorhome if a particular model will accommodate it.
