Can you flat tow a Honda HR-V?
I’m going on a roadtrip to celebrate my retirement, but we want to make sure that we can take some adventures without the RV. Can I safely flat tow my Honda HR-V?

Congrats on your retirement! As to whether or not you can flat tow your Honda HR-V, it depends on its age. According to Honda, HR-V models from 2014 to 2017 should not be flat towed. That said, the 2020 HR-V is rated for flat towing so long as it is equipped with a manual transmission, though you’ll need some additional equipment, such as a tow bar, base plates, wiring, and supplemental braking.
In short, if your Honda HR-V is from 2020 or later and is paired with a manual transmission, then you can safely flat tow it without voiding your insurance coverage! Keep in mind that towing an HR-V model that’s not rated for flat towing can not only cause serious damage to the model’s transmission and drivetrain but may also drastically increase your
