Mazda Miata towing

[jimdolan]

I'm considering towing a 2004 miata, 5 spd manual, behing an RV for about 15K miles this summer. Has anyone had any experience towing this car ? Any precautions to take ? (I have a tow bar and breakaway brake system from the last car I towed) Although I don't go offroad which may be a problem with the low clearance, I do run up to 75MPH with the RV. I would appreciate any comments
Thanks

I work for a towing company and the towing specs for that year and model are tow from the rear, max 50 mph for unlimited miles. do not tow it from the front.

Thanks- I was concerned because I got an E-mail from Mazda saying no tow, but the dealer says no problems. I live in Sebring FL which is a big SCCA spot with 2 racing schools. I hope to have the time and shekels to try the skip barber course next year. I've been a big fan of SCCA since my first sports car and ancient XK120

you should be able to tow it from either end if you remove the drive shaft.
