Default Glider towing with 08 Honda CR-V?

I own a 2001 Honda Accord EX. It's a 4 cylinder Vtec engine. I
pulled an ASW-15B, that I just bought from New Castle, VA to Olive
Branch, MS. I had no problems what so ever. Coming over the
mountains I slowed to 55 mph going up the steep hills, but on the
flats I cruised at 65 mph. It did fine and got good gas mileage. My
car is an automatic transmission. The fluid was red at the beginning
of the trip ( I had it changed) and it was red after 650 miles.

Seems like a good tow vehicle to tow with me.
