Can you flat tow a Honda Civic?

My family is planning an RV trip soon, and we want to bring along our Honda Civic for shorter drives. Can you flat tow a Civic?

How fun! In most cases, you cannot flat tow a Honda Civic—but this answer can vary depending on the year and model of your Civic. For example, 2009 and 2016 Civics with manual transmissions can be flat towed under certain circumstances, but a 2011 and 2015 Civic cannot be. The only way to know if your specific model can be flat towed is by consulting your owner’s manual.
For the most part, only cars with manual transmissions should be flat towed—otherwise, you can cause serious damage to the transmission and drivetrain. If your owner’s manual says you can flat tow your Civic, it’s important to go no farther than 50 miles and no faster than 35 mph.
Whether or not you decide to flat tow your car, you’ll want to double-check your
