Many of the front wheel drive vehicles that are not listed as towable 4 down can be equipped with a REMCO transmission pump. It adds to the cost but it does allow you to use a vehicle you already have if it isn't towable 4 down. We have a 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser automatic that we have towed over 44,000 miles using a REMCO transmission pump. If it has rear wheel drive, then the REMCO driveshaft disconnect may make it towable. In addition to the tow bar (buy one that stays attached to the rear of the motorhome) and the brackets for the tow bar that mount on the towed vehicle, you will need to add light hookups to the toad and to stay legal in many states a braking system.

Ken, Motorhome magazine 2012 Guide to Dingy Towing only lists the CR-V, the CR-V 4WD and the Fit as being approved for towing.
