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

I own a Honda CRV 2007 and I had the trailer hitch added. I towed my
Discus in a Cobra trailer with it just fine on freeway and local
roads. Freeway speeds of 70 and climbing hills 60. It is noticable
on the passes that you may not maintain full speed limit but it gets
there while sipping gasoline.
