Glider towing with 08 Honda CR-V?

A Honda CR-V would be regarded as quite a large vehicle in the UK where
petrol (gasoline) is taxed out of sight by our wonderful tax loving,
motorist hating, Nu Labour Government. We tow glider trailers with far
smaller vehicles than that! It may be a good idea to keep your speed down
to below 60mph though.

I just bought a 2008 CR-V with no expectation of towing anything with
it, but the book says it will tow up to 1500 pounds, so now I'm
wondering if it would be worthwhile to add a hitch so I can tow a
utility trailer, and the glider for short hauls or when the primary
tow vehicle isn't available.

I imagine the top towing speed would be pretty limited ... the Honda
Pilot I used a few years ago was subject to fishtailing above ~63 mph,
regardless of the trailer tongue weight. With a shorter wheel base,
the CR-V would likely be worse. Does anyone have any experience towing
a glider behind this generation CR-V?
