Not if you go by Motorhome mag or if you ask Mazda. So far, we have towed our 2011 Miata about 12K miles, four down.

The same folks said that the 2002 couldn't be towed either. We towed that one over 50K, four down. That's our results, yours may vary.

Before I set up the '02, I did a lot of online research and found several folks towing Miatas. The six speed tows fine, but something about the way the gearbox works prevents the five speeds from being towable. It has to do with the way the gears throw oil around when towed in neutral.

BTW, your Miata base plate choice is limited to Roadmaster and model years up to 2012. The Blue Ox base plate fits 1996 to 2002. (have one of those to sell.)
