Bringin this one back from the dead. So, if I want to tow the insight with the sprinter, here is my current understanding:
Hookup of gear:
-Buy BlueOx BX2223, listed to fit MYs 2001-2002, but will fit my MY2000 just fine
-Install it on the insight by removing front bumper cover, bolting it on, then reinstalling bumper cover
-Select a tow bar to use with baseplate. (Does it have to be BlueOx model tow bar? I'm guessing these things are fairly generic in their attachment but not sure I've never used a tow bar)
-Wire from the sprinter plug back to xxx? to make the honda lights mirror the sprinter lights
Towing:
-Put shifter in N (I have a 5 speed)
-Put key in ignition. Turn to first click. Ensure steering unlocked. Turn back to off. (Seems sketchy. Also seems sketchy to leave car turned on draining 12v battery for hundreds of miles)
-Lock car doors with second key
Seems legit overall if the wiring for the lights isn't too bad.
BlueOx tow bar is $250 for a class 3, Craigslist has plenty for $40-$200, so I guess I have some research to do there still.
Anyone care to chime in on any of my questions above? Thanks
