towing an auto CRV

these are the replies from the experts- the dealers. stop laughing!
what is the last year an auto CRV could be towed all wheels down?
thanks all

After speaking with our Assistant Service Manager and our Parts Manager, no 4WD or AWD CR-V can be towed with all four wheels down. Thanks for your inquiry, and please let me know if you have any other questions as I would be happy to assist.

I was incorrect. The 2011 CR-V is the last year for flat towing because of the change to the AWD from our previous 4WD system.
Both Automatic and manual can be flat towed 1997-2011

To the best of my knowledge it is not possible to dinghy tow flat with an automatic transmission in a CR-V. This is only possible with a manual transmission. I hope this helps.

2014 was the last year that the CR-V could be flat towed. The Honda Fit has that capability also until 2014.
