Have enjoyed flat towing an '04 and now a '10.
Just heard that the newer Honda CR-Vs are not towable flat.
Can anyone tell me the last year they were OK for towing on the flat?

I believe 2013 was the last year for flat down towing. I have a 2012.
Go to "dingy towing guide" on your computer.Camping World has current and previous years of towable vehicles.
FYI...According to Roadmasterinc.com the most popular towed cars using their tow bars in order are?
96-2018 Jeep Wranglers
2011-2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2007-2014 Honda CRV (not towable after 2014)
2015-2018 Chevy Colorado & GMC Canyon
2013-2018 Ford F-150
2010-2017 Chevy Equinox & GMC Terrain
2002-2012 Jeep Liberty
2012-2018 Fiat 500
2013-2018 Ford CMAX
2007-2016 GMC Acadia
2008-2017 Buick Enclave & 2009-2012 Chevy Traverse
Jeep wrangler and others 4x4 standard trans 1945 to 2018
General purpose vehical 40 to 44
The list get's smaller every year.Guess I'll go with the old stand by ,Jeep GC .A little heavy and not very well made but it least I can tow it with out speed limitation or other stupid restrictions.
Geo Trackers 4x4's
VW Jetta, Golf, Rabbit, Passat manuals only
Chevy Impala
We went to a Grand Cherokee after our Cabrio was totaled by a pickup sandwich. Nice little black convertible, boo-hoo.
GC is a lot easier to get in and out of. That becomes a situation that does demand attention as the birthdays accumulate. Not impressed by the mileage at 22-23 in town. But it is easy to drive and the Sirius radio is builtin.

22 OR 23 mph sounds like heaven to me .Try 12 to 15 with my 2005 .Yes ,it is a Hemi with a 140 mph speedo .That thing will fly and tows like a dream .Guess you can see why it only has 58m miles on it huh?? BY the way ,radios were a weak point on the 2005 and some other models.
10-4 on the Jeep GC's 5.7 L mpg. We just bought an 09 with the Hemi. Congested city driving with A/C we get 15 mpg but have been able to get 24+ OTR with the MDS/VVT. Its fast & strong enough to goose the bus if need be. Also a ton lighter than the Sierra full size we totaled (& towed). Looking forward to towing it (the GC), haven't yet...
