Default Glider towing with 08 Honda CR-V?

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?

Thanks
