Does the odometer roll up miles while being towed ?

Asked by robert825 25 days ago, 4 answers.

I have a 2007 Chevy Aveo with a manual 5 speed transmission. I want to know if the odometer will continue to roll up miles when I tow it four wheels flat on the ground behind my motorhome.

If its in neutral I don't believe it does. Take a look some time when your rig is rolling just in neutral and see if you speedometer moves. My 1990 S-10 doesn't, so it doesn't count those miles, as my odemeter works off my speedometer in my truck. But yours being a 2007 I don't know.

Yes it will increase whether you are in neutral or not. Your speedometer and odometer work off your transmission. If it is a rear-wheel drive you could simply disconnect the drive line from the rear axle which would keep the transmission from being turned by the rear wheels.

If it is a front-wheel drive vehicle, I don't know where the disconnect point would be.
