Honda vehicles like the CR-V, HR-V, and Fit have been popular flat tow candidates, though Honda has specific requirements that must be followed precisely. Blue Ox base plates for Honda are engineered to provide secure, vehicle-specific mounting.

Honda flat towing considerations

• Honda CR-V: Certain years and drivetrains of the CR-V have been approved for flat towing, making it a popular mid-size crossover choice.
• Honda HR-V: Compact crossover with flat tow eligibility in specific configurations.
• Honda Fit: The discontinued Fit was a lightweight, fuel-efficient toad in manual transmission configurations.
• Honda Passport/Pilot: Larger Honda SUVs—verify your specific year and drivetrain for flat tow approval.

Critical Honda requirements

• AWD systems: Honda's Real Time AWD systems have specific towing limitations. Always verify your exact vehicle.
• CVT transmissions: Honda CVTs may have different towing requirements than traditional automatics.
• Model year changes: Honda's flat towing policies have changed over the years. What was towable in 2018 may not be in 2023.
