It was an excellent choice, better than anything else I've seen. I tow a Saturn SW2 using the Blue Ox Aladdin bar and system- couldn't be more pleased with it. Leaving Monday for CA from Seattle and a quick visit to LD. Bill the dogman in Seattle

I've compiled some links that may be helpful: [url=http://www.lazydazeowners.com/[url=http://www.calpoly.edu/~gharvey/RVLtowing.htmlHighly recommended is a supplemental braking system for your toad. Check with your state's transportation department for exact requirements. Also, I believe any state you travel through you must meet that state's requirements for supplemental braking. You can find more info on different state's requirements in the link above.Good luck,~Greg

It is automatic. Thank you. Have a nice trip to CA! Mari Susan

These are simple devices which can be operated from the driver's seat. The brand with the best reputation is Remco. Check them out at www.remcotowing.com As far as hitches for the Honda, Blue Ox and Roadmaster are among the most popular.Jerry

Have seen many Hondas towed 4 down but don't know whether auto or not. Sorry! I do know that Blue Ox makes base plates for Hondas. Bill & dogs in Seattle

That way is so much easer. Once youy do it that way you will never want to trailer a car again. Check with you auto dealer for sure about towing on all 4s. I have a honda I tow on the ground. Bill
