Are there any hybrid cars that can be towed with an rv?

Question

4 wheels down....flat tow

Answer 1

Hi,

no, there are no hybrids that can be dingy towed (four down) behind an RV. You will have to trailer tow it, all four up only.

And no true, full hybrid can be put into a standard neutral, because a full hybrid doesn't have a standard transmission. a full hybrid is one that can move using electricity only, the gas engine does not have to start (the Prius is a full hybrid, for example).

There are actually not that many vehicles that can be dingy towed, and some of those that can must be started and run to allow the lubricating fluids to move through their various gearings.

Motorhome Magazine has an online guide to dingy towing for each of the past few years (including 2008 models) that can be accessed at:

Or, just check with your local RV dealer on books or resources they would recommend.

Answer 2

There shouldn't be a problem as long as you can keep the car in neutral.

Answer 3

The FAQ below states that neither the Prius nor Honda hybrids can be towed with the drive wheels on ground.  I believe the final drive depends on the engine running to have lubrication.
