Questions About 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse’s Transmission

  • What can I tow in a Mitsubishi? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
