Just wondering if anyone has ever towed anything with a CRV... Im picking one up tomorrow, and just wondered if I could use it to tow my race car on a tow dolly... I know towing it on the dolly will keep a lot of weight off the truck, but just wondered if anyone knows from experience... Its an 03 LX 2wd

 

not worth it at all.
They can only pull 1,500 lbs tounge weight is 100 lbs

 

weight isnt really an issue i guess, as i can upgrade suspension and what not to accomodate more weight... I was more concerned with the power etc...

 

Weight is an issue... you can upgrade your suspension but the brakes won't be able to handle the extra weight and load. Also the unibody construction isn't too strong for towing.

 

and by the time you make those upgrades and the money is spent, you probably could have bought a pilot.

he's right. it's all about the weight of the truck. i use my CRV to two my jetski and had to make sure the tongue weight was at 100lbs. Even with just a 500lbs jetski and about 150lbs trailer, the CRV was a complete turtle. You have to gain speed going downhill or it'll struggle going uphill.

Beyond that, tow hitch companies don't make a hitch beyond a Class I which is the lightest load rated at a tongue weight of 110lbs. I wanted to trailer my front clip and they wouldn't let me. They wouldn't even let me with a Pilot, I had to get a 4Runner. Good luck!
