Can you flat tow a 2016 Toyota Rav4?
I’m taking my family on a cross-country road trip in our motorhome, but I really want to bring my Rav4 along. Can I flat tow it?

What a fun family adventure! If your Rav4 has two-wheel drive and manual transmission, you can flat tow it; otherwise, you shouldn’t.
You probably already know that flat towing involves attaching a tow bar to a car, SUV, or pickup truck and letting it roll behind a motorhome on its own four wheels.
Here’s more about towing a Rav4:
- If you’re towing a two-wheel drive Rav4, put the vehicle in neutral.
- You should never flat tow an all-wheel drive Rav4, as this will cause drivetrain damage.
- You should never flat tow an automatic Rav4 for the same reason.
