For everyone crying about his vehicle not being able to tow that trailer please understand that the U.S. is well known for stating in car manuals that the vehicles are not recommended for towing and this is 100% based on car companies wanting to sell larger vehicles like SUVs or truck's versus more people buying smaller cars and actually saving money long term on fuel and other costs. I have personally witnessed this exact same situation on many different identical vehicles where in the U.S. manual it says towing is not recommended but in Europe the same car is rated for one ton or 2,000 pounds! I tow a Kendon motorcycle trailer with anything from two motorcycles to a hunting quad to a golf cart behind my 2016 VW Golf Sportwagen 5speed manual frequently and have zero issues! Like he said, just slow your speed down to 55 like you are supposed to when towing and take it easy. When I NEED to tow something heavier I use my F150 as I'm sure he uses his Superduty. The point of this video imo is that many small vehicle's CAN safely tow a trailer "when necessary" as he stated given the right conditions and under slower speeds! Great video, I will subscribe and might just be inspired to post a video on my channel of me towing with my Golf!
@@Johnnyboy_. Of course, automatics in general are stronger for towing with a few exceptions like large big rigs or a older dodge ram Cummins with the 6 speed manual.

@@Johnnyboy_. Well for Honda America they say no towing but your car outside can tow 1000 pounds with no trailer brakes and 2000 pounds if your trailer has brakes when equipped with a proper hitch 👍🏻 I would just take it really easy on the hills so your fit is not constantly searching for the right gear to be in which can overheat it and ruin the transmission.
I tow the same trailer with a 4 cylinder automatic. Make sure the trailer tires are at the max recommended psi. Going up hill, I turn on the heater and open the windows so it helps cool the radiator which also has the trans cooler in it. Gas in CA is over $5.

@@Burlehmanguswhat does that mean exactly? I have a 2010 automatic sport and I really want to hope it can pull a small Coleman pop up camper in southern Colorado 😭 please tell me if I’m delusional with this idea
the reason the US fits don't tow is because of premature wear issues, it's not such a factor over seas because of the speeds but MAINLY the amount of driving done in the US vs overseas
Considering we are talking about a well respected Japanese brand, known to miles, could you provide a manufacturer's written statement corroborating yours. Kindly. Miles are miles, weather in Europe or US 🤷🏾♂️
Good info bro. I own and love a honda fit aria 4wd. Also known as city in Thailand. Mine is cvt but I always wanted to put a towbar( southern hemisphere labeling) on my car.
Nice. I towed a Harbor Freight trailer with a 2002 Yamaha Warrior on it about 6 hours into the NC mountains (Tail Of The Dragon) using a 2000 Honda Civic with a 5-speed manual back around 20 years ago. The trailer was maybe 300 pounds and the bike was about 650. Maybe half the load you were pulling. I got a lot of stares over that. I'm sure you did, too. 👍🍻
You are good with a stick shift, it can be controlled better than a slushbox and wont overheat, taking your time will pay off, done a lot of towing with small vehicles and never had one fail, the bigger vehicles tend to lull drivers into complacency when towing by going over the rated speed for trailer tires and they overheat and then fail quickly, smaller vehicles tend to get closer attention when towing.
Wow! You can even tow something with a Honda Fit. I would have bought a new Honda Fit, but the car dealership would not give us a fair trade price on the Ford van I had. Meantime we bought a Chev Impala then, now we own two Honda vehicles a CRV and an Accord.

I deliver for FedEx ground 4 days a week, & offer safety training another 2 days a week - I need at least one day to rest & reset from the week - but, when slow, I do, some Doordash with my wife.

Hey there! Much enjoyed your electrical videos. i see that you frequently mention that in a sub panel the ground and the neutral are seperate. I think both my panels were wired like i have two main panels. Having some electric issues and have used your resources to determine that my main breaker in the sub panel is only putting out 120 V only. Can't say when it was done but it most likely in the 1990's. How often have you seen the wiriering as i've explained and should i switch out the Main breaker in the sub panel?
Towing without mirrors ( that don’t stick out far enough) is illegal. But nice drive with the kids. - on a side note, I can’t believe how green it is there this time of year. Everything where we live is just barely starting to get green buds on it.
With an automatic transmission, you want to change the fluid every 30k and the filter. With automatics, you don't need to worry about draining the torque converter or flushing them as the new fluid will have a nice blend of friction modifiers with the old as to not "shock" the friction plates with 100% new fluid. Word is, do not flush them, simply pull the pan and replace filter and cork gasket then refill. But...its important to change the fluid more often than any service manual says to. Fluid is cheap...changing it more often is nothing compared to a transmission repair. Transmission coolers are also a good idea if there will be a tow vehicle now and then.
You don't pull the pan on a Honda fit. that would require removal of the engine. Honda specifically states a drain and fill is what is required. There is a drain plug in the bottom that will get most metal flakes out.
It's not the point that it could tow it or not, the biggest thing is stopping and swaying going down the highway or down a steep hill. It's his family's life he putting at risk.
Gas is 3.50 in western nc bro, I have a 08 fit sport and I have been wanting to put a hitch on it for a long time! Mine is auto with paddle shifters, so I should be fine I hope! Keep up The great work brother stay safe and strong with God!

The problems towing with a small vehicle is seeing behind your car and burning out the cluch. Towing in the hills is a joke. The trailer whats to steer the car.

Nope, perfectly legal and capable. Honda states the vehicle has a 2000lbs tow rating at a 200lb tongue weight. That's per Honda on their spec sheet. Their American manual says don't tow but their European manual says it can tow. Honda in the USA will also install a hitch kit which is dealer installed and they give you a new towing manual
