Flat Towing Setup Recommendation for a 2000 Honda Accord
Question:
tow package for 2000 Honda Accord cost

Expert Reply:
First let's start with a base plate for your 2000 Honda Accord. For that the most popular option is the Roadmaster XL Base Plate kit part # 1545-1.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # 154-792-118158, and not have to worry about cutting holes in the taillight assemblies of your vehicle..
And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set up and use is the Even Brake proportional system, # RM-9400, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles.
Cost is available at all of the links below.
I have included a couple of helpful links to our articles on flat towing for you. Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual for more specific information on flat towing your vehicle.
