You can tow with just about any vehicle as long as you are aware of
the limitations and what create them. Small engines accelerate slowly
and limit top speed. Auto transmissions instead of stick shifts are
often the main limiting factor, depending upon the terrain you tow
over, etc. Be careful not to overheat the transmission in hot weather-
either by climbing or running too fast. Re Udo's comments and issues
of towing stability, try to put about 10% of the loaded trailer weight
on the tongue for starters, and if you trailer on radial tires run
them with plenty of pressure. Squishy tires are like sloppy ailerons
which produce flutter at high speeds. Add more weight to the tongue if
you are fish-tailing and the CR-V can handle it.
