What do YOU tow 4 down?
I am looking for a list of vehicles that can be towed four down. I have tried a bunch of sites that all say - check your owners manual.
So would like to hear from horses mouths:
What do YOU tow 4-Down?
Year, make/model, AWD?, 4WD?, 2WD?, Standard/Manual or automatic.
For example, I was looking at a 2008 Honda CRV. 2WD automatic. But I want a 4wd vehicle.
I think the best list anyone can come up with will be actual towed vehicles. It will help people like me narrow down our searches. I don't want to make a list of 20 vehicles that I need to drive all over town to look at the darn owners manuals anymore.
Also - are ALL manual transmissions towable 4 down?
If you want to expand with special requirements to tow YOUR dinghy great.
Thanks
Jim

2013 Chevy Sonic, automatic, 2wd. Easy to setup and tow.
With a little work you can find most owners manuals online, for free download.

We tow a 2006 Honda CR-V, 2-wheel drive. The CR-V through 2014 are towable without modification, either 2-wheel or all-wheel drive. It's a great tow vehicle.

'03 CRV w/automatic and AWD, many miles, and could not be happier with it's performance. Other than an episode with the AC that I understand happens frequently on the Gen II models around 100k, gas, oil changes, and tires is all it's taken so far (185K).

That site will tell you what can be towed 4 down or modified to do so.
I pull a Lexus RX300 front wheel drive.

2015 Jeep Wranglar Automatic 4wd is what we tow. It does require like 14 steps to set it up to tow, which was a bit overwhelming, but once we got it down, it is pretty easy.

Here you go, just run 5 min then put in neutral, remove #32 fuse, and turn key to off.
